Advantages: Runs any OS, Fast, Well built Disadvantages: Can get very hot
...recent firmware upgrade offered by Apple and a smaller program called Bootcamp OS X now includes BIOS support as apossed to just EFI. What does this mean? Well it means you can install other operating systems such as Windows XP (only SP2 atm) and linux distro's such as Fedora Core. Great but I wanted OS X to get way from other operating systems...Well its a welcome addition, especially to professionals, many times professionals would need a second ... ...is as bright as the apple cinema display.
Overall I would say this is excellent value for money as you can run any os with bios support and you get the build quality of apple products, as well as the best os in the world (os x tiger). Now you can finaly dump that old windows box for a much more elagant all in one solution. ...

Advantages: Reliable, Easy to Use, Creative Disadvantages: Expensive
...automatically checked in with the Apple website and updated the latest versions of software, including security updates which seem to occur on a fairly regular basis. It is reassuring to know that I am constantly being guarded against the latest hacker threats and viruses.
Mac computers seem expensive when compared to PCs but you get so much useful software included that would otherwise cost many ££££ add to this the reliability issues and you realise ... ...If you are happy with a tempramental run-around get a PC but if you want to enjoy carefree motoring look no further than your Apple dealer.
If you go to an Apple Centre you can also benefit from their free seminars which really help get the creative juices flowing. ...

Advantages: Fast and good for graphics Disadvantages: Price & Battery
I have now had my mac for nearly a year now and it is the best thing i have ever invested in and even though i got a student discount it was still quite pricey and the pay monthly price plan was great.
The mac is nothing like windows where you can open multiple windows without it freezing up or crashing down. (mine was a windows XP and it was brand new)
The battery life of the MacBook Pro is max 4 hours so thats a downfall but the performance is ...

Advantages: Excellent Design, Light Weight, Trendy, Good Speed Disadvantages: Difficult to use at first by a Windows XP user
...find anything better than an Apple MacBook Pro and went ahead and asked my dad to buy it for me. Only, when I got the laptop I realised that the operating system was not Windows. I found it very tough and frustrating to use the machine for a long while for I was used to WIndows and had never used the Mac operating system. However, I slowly started getting a hang of the system. After a while, I got used to the system and liked it a lot. I recently ... ...next laptop is going to be Apple again. Apple enjoys tremendous popularity in the USA and that is for no reason. Untill now, Apple didnt market its machines and systems strongly in Europe, however they have now begun, hope the consumers' realise the advantage of investing on their products. ...

Advantages: Sleek, durable, and powerful Disadvantages: Bit heavy.
...suggest you go to an Apple store. They take at least two weeks to arrive from CHINA!!! You can track it from apecode.com. Although, that site is rather addictive. I was tracking it every five minutes and it was absolute hell when it showed 'flight delayed'. It is inadvisable to go elsewhere than Apple direct because the models tend to be older in normal shops and websites and, although apparently cheaper, if you don't know what you are looking for ... ...It almost felt worth the £1000 that I had just spent (or should I say what my Mother had spent?). Nowadays, and this goes for the ipods too, the packaging is very minimal. This is obviously because Apple are producing so much more, but it is still a massive shame. ...

If you check out the apple site you can see all the free software that you get with this laptop. All the software is much better than windows and runs a hell of a lot faster than windows. ...

Now I now that apple makes the ipods but what if you don't want a ipod, apple should make their computers compatible with other soft wear as not a lot of people want to stick to one make all the time.
The other let down with the apple Mac book pro is that they don't use windows but there own version, I do a lot of work on my computer for college ...

Advantages: Speed, Usability, Programs, Style Disadvantages: Price, PC Transition
At first, I was like most everyone about switching from my regular PC to a Mac. I could not be more happy with the outcome. The Macbook Pro is the best laptop I haave ever had, For that matter, it has outperformed any computer I have ever owned, desktop included. While it does take some time to get used to the differences between Windows Operating system and that of a Mac, once you get the hang of it, you will wonder why it took so long to switch. ... ...really worth playing around with. One of my favorite features is the Widgets. Widgets are little things you can download for free off of Apple's website, such as planners and football scores. But the reason I recommend this Mac is because it is truly the best system. It outperforms any othere laptop in the Mac family. Its speed makes it possible to run several programs at the same time without lag. Also, if you are an aspiring filmmaker or recording ...
