Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 17" TFT

Advantages: nice screen, good battery life, fast specs
Disadvantages: large size (price?)

...Apple mac-books, where to start... ok, so to start, it is an apple, that means you get a solid quality product and on the whole very good customer are. this particualar apple is deffinatly more suited to being a media center than other laptops. At first glance you realise that it is a fairly large laptop, this allows for a big screen, which being an apple ffers clear vivid displays, unfortunatly the big screen increases the overal size and also uses more battery, however, the 4.5 hour yattery is still very good for an entertainment laptop. The laptops technical specs include a very fast 2.5 ghz dual core proccesor which is very fast, the dual core allows it to tackle multiple tasks quicly as well as increasing the overall speed of the laptop. The price is quite steep however, but i believe, if given the money, it is...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 17" TFT

The Apple of my eye (iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz - 20")

Advantages: Reliable, fast processing, stylish, easy to use
Disadvantages: Could do with a couple more USB ports

...and fast. I upgraded to 2GB of RAM, and I understand that the boxed product comes with 1GB, I would definitely recommend increasing the RAM capacity, just to give it that edge. There is plenty of storage space; and being in the middle of my third year of studying, I haven't as yet ran out of room, even with all my graphics and film work being stored on there. The Firewire Port is also another really useful feature, particularly for designers; it enables the quick download of video and film from a DV Camera or External Hard drive. I find that the iMac is very quiet, and when it is in 'sleep' mode, you can't even hear that it is still on. In my opinion, the audio on the iMac is brilliant. I am a music lover, and at the moment I don't have any external speakers attached, but even without them the audio quality is great. I think the iMac is...

Review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 20" TFT

Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 20" TFT

Advantages: speed, sound, generous size monitor, Leopard OS
Disadvantages: Power/Sleep light missing

...Duration of ownership:2 Weeks Strengths: Sleek and beautiful design, simple and elegant operating system, wireless keyboard and mouse Weaknesses: Power/Sleep light missing Overall Evaluation:I have used Macs (5th one) since mid-90s and have always appreciated their design and OS strengths. Overall, this is an great computer. Everything worked perfectly right out of the box without checking the manual. Considering what is included on this iMac, it is an impressive array of features. About the only peripheral you need to add is a printer! You sure get a lot of features for the money.Price is always a concern, especially compared to PCs. With this model, they have added more "bells and whistles" and not raising the price.Apple has finally gotten its act together by redesigning the popular iMac....

Review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 20" TFT

Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz - 13.3" TFT - excellent!

Advantages: portable, runs very fast, large storage with TimeMachine application for backing up your work
Disadvantages: some problems with using Safari, though this may be due to the wireless network I am using, costs!

...In my opinion, the Apple Macbook Pro is an ideal laptop. As a student, I find that it meets all my needs - I can store plenty of music, photos etc even though I bought the cheapest one with the smallest memory. The system operates very fast and comes with both Firefox and Safari. My only criticism is that it only comes with textedit and so you have to buy iWorks for around £65. However, despite this it is good value for money and I don't regret spending my 2 years worth of part-time earnings on it! It has everything I want from a laptop and is ideally portable and good for watching films despite the smaller screen size. Another feature I particularly liked was that it has a light up keyboard for when you are in darker rooms - you can adjust the brightness of the keyboard the same as you can for the screen. Looks very impressive! It is...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz - 13.3" TFT

Old design hides great new features

Advantages: Huge, High res display. Very quick, great processor, ram, high capacity HDD
Disadvantages: No unibody design, some features only available on SMALLER model, Still no Blu-Ray

...unibody machines). It is, as it's name implies, designed around the large, 17" display. The whole machine is only slightly larger than the display itself, approximately 1/4 of an inch larger on the left and right side, and 1/2 of an inch larger on the top and bottom. The computer is a shade less than an inch thick when closed, and around about 3 KG. It is a large laptop, but is about the thinest and lightest large screen laptop available. It's specs are impressive, what you expect from a top end mac, a dual core 2.5GHz processor, large 320GB hard disc, 4GB ram as standard and NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory make this a powerful road warrior laptop. It includes most of the additional features you find on high end computers too. 802.11 B/G/N wireless networking, gigabit ethernet, bluetooth 2.1 EDR...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 15.4" TFT

Great, but I think it's made from recycled plastic bags!

Advantages: Looks good, Easy to use, 2.4Ghz, Webcam, Upgradeable
Disadvantages: Cheap plastic, Not very durable, a bit expensive

...is built. Value for Money Hrmm, this is a tough one, hrmm, I guess being what it is (a mac) its pretty good, although compared to non-macs its pretty ridiculously priced. You could get a windows laptop thats ten times better. I would recommend, however, that you go for the newer aluminum macbook pro, I have heard that it is very well built, just like they used to be. Now for the Specs ' * 13.3" Screen (1280 x 800) * 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo * 160GB HDD * 2GB ram (Maximum of 4GB) * 144mb shared Video Ram * 2 USB * Firewire 400 * DVD Superdrive If you have any questions or want pictures or a video review just asks me!...

great looking, very powerful.

Advantages: looks good, fast.
Disadvantages: large

...power your laptop with. Also the Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 processor can run this laptop at speeds of 2.4 Ghz which really makes this laptop feel very fast indeed. It also offer a huge hard drive to store whatever you need on it, it has 320 gb of storage space so whatever you need to store on there, you know you?ll have room for it. Some high spec laptops seem to let us down with storage space but its good to see that this one doesn?t in the slightest. The screen on the laptop is fantastic too, and is really what makes it. Its 17 inches which is large, but somehow on this laptop it just appears that little bigger than on others of the same size. Its resolution is 1440 x 900 and its super bright gloss technology that Samsung have built into there screens means that every thing appears just that bit sharper and glossier. As you would...

Advantages: High speed, gorgeous, and easy to use
Disadvantages: Price, operating temperature

...sections that will help you make an informed decision before buying, to illustrate the various aspects of the laptop which you might like. The Specifications The model I have has a 15.4" screen with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 200GB hard drive. They're lovely numbers aren't they? Manufacturers use these numbers in an attempt to impress you, to make you part with more money than necessary. I tell you this because Apple try to "screw you over" somewhat, as they offer three different models of the MBP. Let me explain. There are two versions of the 15.4" model, the second one having a 2.5GHz processor and a 250GB hard drive. The other difference you might notice if you look closely is that the processor cache size is 6MB not 3MB. Six is a bigger number than three, so the smaller one must be rubbish! This...
