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

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...

Another featured pack with 14.1"

Advantages: latest featured notebook with DDR3 RAM
Disadvantages: 6 cell battery

...Samsung P460 Samsung is rocking with its latest P series notebooks with highly configured features and latest technology. Earlier I have reviewed 15.4" series P560 which also was loaded with good features and now in this series I have chose another popular 14.1" screen size laptop. *** I will discuss here good features of this laptop and its advantages as well as disadvantages also. First of all I always use to keep write on processor and here also a good processor we can have. The time is now for multicore processor and kipping this tradition on Samsung has provided, Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 with clock speed of 2.4 GHz and front size bus speed is 1066 MHz, Another point that should be consider in processor is its L2 cache size and in this processor it has 3MN of L2 cache size, front size bus speed and L2 cache are common in both...

Review of Samsung P460 Core 2 Duo P7350 2 GHz - 14.1" 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 2.5 GHz - 17" 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 Mac Mini Core Duo..

Advantages: Small but powerful, its a great starter apple,
Disadvantages: Limited scope for upgrade,

...My friends always said to me that I should get an apple computer, but stubbornly I always resisted as I thought I should stick to what I know. That was until I used an apple mac. This mini core duo is an inexpensive way to get onto the apple ladder, and you wont be disappointed. Straight out of the box, it looks very stylish and would compliment any home cinema or music system. For such a small unit, the apple packs quite a punch, with ports such as USB and ethernet, wi-fi and bluetooth, as well as a remote control, the apple wont leave you wanting. Whats more, one of the most positive things about apples is that most of the inside is made by apple, unlike in PC's where everything is thrown together and hoped that it works. Apple seems to just work like a PC doesn't. It's not perfect though. The sheer size of it...

Review of Apple Mac mini Core Duo 1.83 GHz

Apple Mac Mini 1.83 Ghz

Advantages: Small and good value
Disadvantages: not as powerful as most other Macs

...adapter, this allows you to connect a three row adapter or VGA to the DVI port on the back. It will work with any keyboards, mice or most other peripherals so there is no need to spend unnecessary amounts of money on apple products like their mighty mouse and their aluminum keyboard, if you want those they will work anyway though although I wouldn't buy the mighty mouse as I have heard from loads of people that the scroll ball on the top clogs and breaks it very quickly-thus losing lots of money, I myself am using a Microsoft mouse and an ASDA USB keyboard, yes I am so cheap, it works though so I don't really care. Anyway you do not need a wireless adapter as it is built in (really easy to connect to a network), it has bluetooth (so you can synchronize all your phones to your mac) The standard model has an 80GB hard drive which you will...

Review of Apple Mac mini Core Duo 1.83 GHz

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

Advantages: ''
Disadvantages: ''

..." (OS10.5) disk since the display model I had bought had the old "Tiger" 10.4.10. Since I work with multimedia and am very impressed with the software delivered with iLife (disk included with the Apple products) I was disappointed to see that most of the items which are of use, do not work using Leopard. So I returned to the older Tiger and this is the system that I am presently testing. With only 1GB of memory I believed that the applications may be a little slow but actually everything seems to be operating as usual. My old Titanium runs at 400MHz and so with the present speed of 2.16GHz I expected an increase in speed but should have known that there would be no change. Software takes just as long to start up, close down and granted I can run several enormous programs parallel, nothing actually is any faster. Points of comment 1...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 15.4" 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 Macbook core 2 duo 2ghz 13"

Advantages: sexy fast different simple
Disadvantages: could take a bit of getting used to

...After thinking what laptop to buy for over a year I kept falling back on the idea of buying mac! I had wireless set up and off I went to buy a laptop. I fell in love with the macbook very sexy and simple (bit like myself)! I'm not here to bore you with specs (you know what you need you just want to know how well it performs). I opted for the 13" as its smaller and cheaper £699! Its a very competant little machine that can do everything you want it too, its wifi is very good and stable. Its amazingly simple to use far less complicated than windows! I love the two fingers on the mouse pad to scroll down pages, also the quality of the display and the way it works out when you mistype (somehow apple have made it work out sausage finger typing and it doesn,t put that letter in). The operating system is fast at booting up...
