    4 Stars Why do people convert to Mac? 01/04/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stylish, Good build, Good customer service, Fewer security flaws, Mac OS

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive, scratches easily, Compatibility with some software

    INTRO Being a Microsoft Windows user for the past 12 years, I never thought I'd buy myself an Apple Mac but after caving in a buying an Apple iPhone, and with the many recommendations from friends and acquaintances raving about Apple and how great Macs are (plus a test drive of the Mac OS on friend's and Macs in-store), I ordered myself a 13.3" MacBook Pro (2.53GHz, 4GB, 250GB HDD version). DESIGN First impression is that the MacBook Pro is a gorgeous piece of kit. The chassis feels very sturdy. The screen appears to be covered with a pane of glass and is quite easy on the eyes but when ... more

    4 Stars A great invention that is hard to operate. 14/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Spec are Hardcore

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Cost and OS

    It is an amazing laptop that offers alot of technology but it comes with a cost. In recent days Apple Macbooks have established the name because of their looks. People who like to show off will this product but this is am amazing system. Specifications: This laptop has amazing technology. I was quite amazed to see this system. Amazingly fast especially with OS, it will be much faster than any other laptop running on Vista, as Vista requires 1 GB of RAM just to run it. Graphics: The graphics will be amazing with that beast NVIDIA GeForce 9400M. Of course then RAM is also going to help the ... more

    5 Stars I love this MacBook Pro ! 10/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Light, Multi-Touch exclusivity, Mac OS X, beautiful design...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price, many softwares are not supported for this computer (Photoshop, 3Ds Max...)

    This machine is just.. GREAT ! To start with, this is one of the most popular laptops in the market (And the most popular Mac ;). And for me, this is the best computer you can get now ! To be honest, I was a bit afraid -before I bought it- that I would find many difficulties in coping with the hole new Operating System (Mac OS X), but it's a matter of minutes to get used to it =) ! the loveliest thing about this Mac, is the design; it's elegant, beautiful and most importantly, light ! But when you look deeper inside it... When all of this becomes more usual to you (Well, to me actually ;) ... more

    5 Stars fantastic block of aluminum 06/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cool and competent

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not exactly value for money

    After many years of hesitation, I finally decided to spend my hard earned cash of this bad boy. I even received a FREE ipod touch! For me it was a very hard decision to switch from Windows to Mac. Primarily due to cost, software compatibility and general use. However, in my opinion, this model is definitely an improvement from its predecessor as this 'Pro' model now has SD card slot, better memory and speed, firewire, a better battery, standard backlit keyboard and costs cheaper. I found the OS operating system a bit difficult to use at first as I have been using Windows for over 10 years (and ... more

    5 Stars So much better than windows based machines 24/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages style, usability, super stable operating system, very well made.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages price

    I bought my macbook pro 6 months ago after deciding to move from windows based laptops and couldn't be happier with my decision, first off the build quality is unmatched made from aluminum there is no flex or give when picking it up even the screen is made from glass so no more of the colors running if you accidentally press the screen like on normal laptops. The software (osx) is designed by apple themselves so everything just works i have yet to have a program crash that's how reliable it is, the technology behind it is even more impressive it uses the new ddr3 ram (8gb max 4gb standard) and ... more

    4 Stars MacBook Pro 13" Review 29/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages design, speed, light

    Disadvantages Disadvantages price!

    Me being a PC user at home and a MAC user at school the laptop was pretty easy to use. There were a few stuff on the mac that wasn't very clear, but other than that, its pretty easy to use! If you are a PC user the mac can be very complicated. I have been taught how to use the MAC ever since Kindergarten. Which is why I know my way around. I think the price for the mac is quite expensive, one of the good things about the MAC is that your laptop is safe from any viruses, which is perfect! I mean seriously, how many times have we had a few viruses on our computer? I know I have a few viruses on ... more

    4 Stars Great Machine 29/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Simplicity of use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price

    I had this laptop for a over a year now and its great. Never crashed loads up fast and I can do both my work and enjoy my entertainment facilitates with ease. If you ever have a problem it is easy enough to contact apple support even though if you need to get something repaired it can be a pain to book an appointment with the genius bar. The extra feature on the key pad are of great use and once you get use to the track pad if you are an apple first time you wonder how you lived without it. Its a bit costly but to be honest I got this a year ago and it gives me less problems then my friends ... more

    5 Stars Completely Satisfied! 19/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Size. Features. Usability. Durable. Good Looking.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a gaming computer. Takes a while to learn the Mac OS.

    I originally bought this as a means of switching from PC to Mac and can say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The longer I have it the more I realize just how superior it is to a PC. First its construction is far sturdier and better looking than the competition. After starting it up you notice just how well it handles multiple applications and isnt fazed by much you can throw at it. It is also noticable just how much slowly Mac's age than PC's. They take a lifetime to deteriorate instead of just a few years. Next time I am looking for a new computer it will be a close relation ... more
