Built from the ground up for demanding professionals looking for a powerful mobile solution, the MacBook Pro is Apples most efficient and stylishly designed laptop computer to date.

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

by mrpimms , Dec 16, 2007
Pros: Run windows better. Run Macs better than old macs, Run Unix better. Attention to detail.
Cons: Apache PHP MySQL config weird. Sometimes needs to recharge before rebooting. IE7 without windows please?

Could this be the world's best laptop?

by lawman67 , Oct 10, 2008
Pros: Fast, stable, gorgeous. Destined to be the best ever matte-screen MacBook Pro.
Cons: Not as fast or gorgeous as the new model.
The Bottom Line: October 14 brought a radically improved MacBook Pro design, but this is the best you will ever get if you hate glossy screens
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: *** Important Update Follows ***
As I write this on the 10th of October, 2008, Apple is poised to release a new line of laptops in just four days. Speculation is wild about the design of the upcoming portables, and even about whether Apple will...
