Great New Computer

I've been a Mac user for over 7 years and am on my fourth computer, and by far, this one is my favorite!

This MacBook Pro is the most balanced one they've come out with, and it has all of the most up-to-date features including these key ones:

1. Runs cooler than my friends' previous version MBP
2. Mulit-touch is nice but I don't use it a lot
3. Upgraded iSight camera makes for great video chatting and works perfectly with many other programs. I use it almost daily for video journaling
4. LED screen isn't "new" for this model, but it is a great feature that makes the screen look wonderful
5. More storage on the entry-level model than before

All in all, I'm very satisfied with this computer and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid laptop that has speed but isn't huge. Also, the size difference compared to the MacBook is minimal in my opinion. Sometimes this actually seems smaller given the sleeker design.

Of course, the only drawback is the price, but over the life of the computer, I think it will be well worth it. Finally, it is a Mac and it has the best operating system available (Mac OS 10.5) whether you're a newbie or computer aficionado!

From PC: Macbook Pro blew past my expectations

Coming from PC, I never thought I'd dish out the extra bucks for a Mac. The new Macbook Pro is by far the best laptop I've ever used. I absolutely love the Leopard OS, build quality, and speed of this machine! Noise is a BIG issue for me as I planned to use it in bed and it is not silent as my iPhone of course but as far as laptops go I don't think there is anything quieter on the market now except perhaps the Macbook Air which I almost bought. The functionality of the OS and bleeding edge technology packed into this thing far exceed anything I thought was possible with a portable computing platform. I plan to dual boot Windows XP to be able to use all of my Windows software on this aluminum beauty. Absolutely loving it.

One Year Old and Going STRONG

I purchased a MacBook Pro (MBP) last year and haven't regretted one minute of it. When I replace this one I will probably go with the 15" model since the 17" has been a bit big to be hauling around all the time (my notebook and Nikon are always with me).

I've been using mine for Java Programming, Project Management, Photography, Web Site Development, Games and of course other graphics creation for miscellaneous projects. It occasionally runs a little bit hot but I expect it when I'm running Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, Parallels with Windows XP running Projects and cruising the web all at the same time.

One of the first things I did (and do) when I get a Mac is REMOVE iTunes (Floola instead), iCal and iChat (Adium instead). I install VLC, Adobe Reader, NeoOffice, Firefox, Eclipse, HandBrake, iSquint, iAlertU, OoVoo, smcFanControl, Transmission, The GIMP, MacPorts, Fink and the Developer tools available on the OS X installation DVD. I also install a plethora of Adobe stuff (Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator & Lightroom).

I can't say a bad thing about my MBP. I also purchased the chicklets (metal) keyboard and mighty mouse. I have my own home workstations, but it is very common for me to ignore them in favor of using this MBP. I can't wait to see what next year's models are going to be like, that is when I plan on replacing this one with a shinny new one.

MacBook Pro rocks!

Bottom of the line MacBook Pro, 2.4 gHz. The trackpad features are totally cool and easy to use, the screen is bright and clear, computer is blazing fast. I'll buy more memory eventually from Crucial or OWC but it's great for now. Buy one!
