Macbook is the one book you need when your having more than one (OS)

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2007

Livin' Large: Life with a SWEET 17" Mac laptop

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: You get what you pay for with this MacBook Pro: top-of-the-line capabilities, fantastic performance, large screen, and lightweight for travel.
Review: Let me first say that I am NOT the most tech-savvy woman on the block. But, having used computers for the last 22 years (since the IBM PC and original Apple Mac back in the mid 1980s, as my father was a Silicon Valley engineer before retirement),...

AWESOME!

Date of Review:  May 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: this is awesome but the screen is too big!
Review: I have had my mac book pro 17a for about a year and a half- it is my second mac, the first was a PowerBook G4. The only two complaints I have had have been case related- both have had he aluminum cases, which dent and warp. I have a speck case now...

The last laptop you'll ever need (for 3 or 4 years anyway)

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2008
The Bottom Line: After 5 months, I feel more satisfied with this computer than any other system I've owned.
Review: As a write this, Apple has just upgraded their MacBook Pros with the latest intel processor Peryn (sp?). So, everything I say is true without regard to any speed, stability and temperature gains.

I bought my MacBook Pro back in October of...

A great laptop and a bridge between the Windows/Mac worlds

Date of Review:  May 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a great laptop, but running XP or Vista does cause problems at times. Still, because of the many advantages its worth the extra money.
Review: *** October 2009 Update ***
If you are looking to make the transition from Windows to Mac or simply want a top of the line notebook, read on. This computer was the bridge for us out of the Windows world and into the Mac realm, and is the best...

Apple Macbook Pro-like driving the best sports car on the block!

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2007
The Bottom Line: Never been happier...with a computer, that is.
Review: I waited and waited to make the final decision to cross over...and SO glad I did. I considered myself a fairly advanced Windows user, so I was hard to impress. One day, while in an Office Depot store, I decided to ask the "geeks" their advice. I...

Cross over from Windows to Mac will be a LOT smoother with a MacBook Pro

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you are scared of the transition from Windows to Mac - don't be. If you are thinking of buying a Mac - buy one. You'll love it.
Review: I waited a VERY long time going back and forth on whether or not I was going to buy a Mac. I think my one main concern was if I was going to transition easily from Windows to Mac. I had used a Mac way back in the late nineties - and it was so...

The Bottom Line: great platform for running programs that are art oreinted
Review: We all face the dilemma in todays day in age of getting a computer. Maybe you already have a desk top and need something portable, in my case I am off to college and need a laptop that will last. In the last 4 years personally I have been through...

Unlike other brands, a Mac Book pro lasts for long time

Date of Review:  Feb 5, 2008
Review: I'd like to publish a review on my 2003 Mac Book pro because strangely, after 5 years it is working just fine. One would not expect a laptop to function for 5 years, at least I would not.

My six months old Sony Vaio running on Vista...

the commercials don't lie: Macs are winners!

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2008
Review: I am relatively new to the world of Macs, and generally not the most tech-saavy woman, but it didn't take me long at all to transition from a PC to a MacBook Pro. I love the features that Mac has, and I have Boot Camp software that allows me to run...
