Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo

Late 2008 Macbook Pro

Advantages: Large screen, backlit keyboard, aluminium casing, unibody
Disadvantages: Expensive!

...lighting (in a car perhaps) also the new LED is very bright compared to the old LCD screens. Running OS X 10.5 leopard on this machine really is a joy. There are downsides however these include a marked decrease in performance when running windows virtually in Vmware Fusion (the black macbook is faster even with a similar 2GB RAM configuration). The performance decrease makes little sense but performs consistently badly on this macbook pro. Due to the thickness of the screen it can seem very brittle and requires a lot more care in order to prevent damage. The macbook discrete graphics adaptor appears to make very little difference to performance of any application on OS X. This may just be because I do not use it intensely enough on OS X. The macbook pro also appears to struggle with some forms of compressed videos such as DivX movies...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 DUe

Advantages: Most points are advantages, excellent laptop!!
Disadvantages: can be difficult with compatibility when dowloading, doesn't work with 4OD

...I would recommend this product to anybody looking for a laptop. It's very easy to use, even for somebody who would describe themselves as computer illiterate. It's suitable for both personal and professional uses and the small details such as the built-in camera and the iphoto application aswell as the remote that comes with it which can be used for power point presentations etc. make the Apple Macbook Pro stand out amongst other brands. It has bluetooth for easy connection with your mobile phone which can come in handy, regular update alerts which have been suprisingly useful. The safari internet server is very well set out and easy to use. As a student with lots of essays to write and passages and reports to download from the internet, it was important to me for my laptop to have a system that would allow this to be both easy...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo

Macbook Pro - best of both worlds

Advantages: Runs any OS, Fast, Well built
Disadvantages: Can get very hot

...The MacBook pro really does have the best of both worlds. In a 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 machine to test how there work would show on a windows computer (Web designer to check compatabilty with Internet explorer for etc) and also gamers. This now allows users to have just one machine and use both OS X and XP, so no need for a 2nd computer (and XP really flys on my MacBook 1.8ghz 512mb ram!) Enough of dual booting...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro

Macbook pro 15" new Generation

Advantages: No virus, fast and powerful, well designed, great camera, great microphone, great sound
Disadvantages: Not for everyone, expensive but worth it

...This is a POWERFUL SEXY STYLISH with great performance notebook. out of 10 I'd give it 11! the laptop has everything you need and have always wanted. It has built-in web camera outstanding quality, amazing sound quality, fantastic built-in microphone, you can chat using skype ichat or any other messenger that allows you to to voice chat and you will not hear your voice on your friends computer, I mean if you are both chatting without headphones don't worry the computer will know when you are talking and when the pther person is talking without interrupt it. The keyboard is a must! it turns the light on when in poor light conditions automatically. The keyboard has been cut like the previous macbook 13" its curved to perfectly fit fingers, smooth typing. The keyboard is also illuminated, so when you're in low-light settings, so...

Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 15.4" TFT

Advantages: ''
Disadvantages: ''

...;-) General comments: I wanted to upgrade my old Titanium Powerbook (bought in 2001) and so took a flight to London to personally handle the latest MacBook Pro 17". I walked into the shop in Regent Street with £3000 cash - discovered the MBP was in my eyes rubbish, so came home again without wasting my money. I had seen the Macbook 13" black book and was impressed since it was compact and had most of the features of the MBP. Hence at the start of December 2007 I walked into a shop in France and bought it - you can only go for so long trying to use hardware which is seven years old when working in the hi-tech world. I made the compromise and bought this Macbook and was able to persuade Monsieur Lawrence of Apple Service in France to exchange the French keyboard for a QWERTY one free of charge. He was also kind enough to send me the latest "Leopard...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 15.4" TFT

MacBook Pro, value for money?

Advantages: Powerful Core 2 Duo processor, large screen
Disadvantages: Chunky, not really value for money

...The Macbook pro is basically a standard increase on your average Macbook, it offers a souped-up Core 2 Duo processer running at 2.33 Ghz, a definite level up from the older versions 2 Ghz running speed. There is more hard drive there, and more RAM for your money. But is it completely necessary to pay a substantial amount more than the average Macbook? I had one of these installed in my household not long ago, and I must say it was impressive and powerful, and if it were a PC I would say it would make a good online gaming high spec laptop, but its not, its a Mac and therefore its a bit odd to have all this power for something that is internationally recognised as a better office/business tool than a PC but nowhere near as accomplished on the gaming front. Having said that it does come with all the regular tools of a macbook, and yes it...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz - 17" TFT

MacBook, Get Yours.

Advantages: Smooth, silent, good looking, more than capable, satisfying.
Disadvantages: Arguably the cost, some very minor issues in very few cases.

... Introduction I am one of those people who can't really afford Apple products, but buys them anyway out of desire for perfection, and spends the following four years living on bare essentials. But those four years are being made bearable for me, due largely to the wonderful machine I'm typing on at the moment. I have no shame in admitting that I have fallen under Apple's spell, like a rich old man being hastily married to a buxom blonde for the contents of his will, and I'm fine with the fact that I'm going to spend the rest of my life saving for their coming generations of products because they are just about the only company left in existence that promise so much, and deliver so much more. I bought the Macbook largely on a whim, when I decided to stay on two extra weeks in my old job for a treat at the end of six months...

Review of Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo

The fantastic Macbook

Advantages: Very Reliable
Disadvantages: Keeping it clean

...I had never Used an Apple computer until I started taking a music production/audio engineering course at college. I had always used a windows based pc. The college had Imacs and the studio we went to had a supply of macbooks for us to use when we were there. I Have to admit that I fell in love with the Apple operating system and after purchasing a macbook I can see myself wanting any other laptop. The thing that probably holds most people back is the price. I was lucky that a friend was able to get one for me while in america so I managed to save a bit of money which meant I coulod spend that on upgrading to the full 3 year applecare package. I love the fact that I have not been able to crash my macbook at all! Even with programs such as logic and reason running together. On my windows PC I could crash it without even...
