 THIS MACHINE TRULY LIVES UP TO IT NAME "PRO" July 2, 2008
I PURCHASED 15" MACBOOK PRO After MUCH THOUGHT AND RESEARCH. I HAVE BEEN A PC user for 15 years so
I was skeptical that MACS were all my coworkers made them out to be. Well I received my Macbook Pro three days after placing my order with Amazon and I could not be happier. Setup was a breeze, including the wireless interenet. I was emailing and loading and editing pictures in no time. The Apple support staff
are knowlegeable and a pleassure to deal with. I should have made the switch years ago.
I am also pleased with Amazon's fast delivery and you cannot beat their price. The notebook was packaged
securely and I have no complaints. I am very pleased.
Excellent Apple Product July 1, 2008
Having used both Mac and Windows products in the past, I decided to transition my home and business back to Mac after experimenting with Windows VISTA for a couple of weeks. The Macbook works well as expected, but I was happily surprised by the level of integration of audio/visual. A very nice design with no problems with either software or hardware after 2 months of use.

I'm in love June 26, 2008

I just bought a new Apple MacBook Pro. I work with macs all of the time because I am a graphic designer so I decided to go from my HP PC to an Apple computer. I love Apple computers because they are so much simpler to work with and tend to be better for creating graphics and so forth. I have fallen in love with my new computer.
I do have two complaints. The first one is the price, although you get what you pay for. The second one is the battery charge. It is just average. It last about three hours but I know some laptop batteries that last five hours. After paying that much money for this product you would think it would last a little longer. Personally I would say if you are not in the graphics field career wise I would not recommend a MacBook Pro. A MacBook would probably be better for you if you wanted an Apple. If your are in the graphics field I recommend the MacBook Pro.
Excellent Machine - Not going back to a PC anytime soon June 23, 2008

I purchased the Apple MacBook Pro MB134LL/A 15.4" Laptop (2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive) from Amazon last month. I love it. I've been using PC based laptops for work and play for 15 years, and while I have dabbled on MacBooks (of various types) with friends over the years, this is my first Mac purchase and the first time I am using a Mac for work purposes. In short, I could not be more satisfied with the machine itself.
Externally, the 15.4 model is a sight to see. It has an elegant, polished look about it. More importantly, it has a sturdy feel to it. So many PC laptops, including name brands (Dell, Compaq, etc.) have such a cheap, plastic feel about them, as if you could twist a little bit and something cheap would come flying off. Not the MacBook Pro. The aluminum shell and the solid body give it a confident feel, like it could take a little abuse if necessary. The keyboard is just right: large keys, rightly placed, with a good feel--not to soft, not to much of a click. That the FN function keys come set to serve as hardware options by default and Fn keys (F1, F2, etc.) only while holding down the Fn key seems backwards ... but its a simple switch in Preferences. The ports on the sides seem sturdy and well place. At first, I thought I would miss having all the ports tucked away on the back of the machine (as in the case of many PC laptops), but in the real world this has not turned out to be so bad after all. Given the $2500 investment, I purchased a Speck clear cover and some ApplePeelz stick-on wrist guards, just to the keep the dings and sweat/grease stains to a minimum. After all, I'm planning to take this machine for the long-haul.
In terms of performance, the elegance on the outside is matched by the gears on the inside. It really moves along. I ponied up for some more RAM, making it a 4 gig machine, because I figured if I was paying $2500 for a machine, I may as well trick it out. I run a typical suite of office programs - email, web, Microsoft Office, iTunes, syncing to a smartphone, scholarly research software, etc. - and the MacBook does great. 8 to 10 programs open at a time and not hesitation whatsoever. And unlike Windows after 6 months, the overall system performance has not lagged. I can put the Mac to sleep 6 times a day, and it always wakes up ready to go, full speed ahead.
Sure, $2500 is (these days) a real investment in a laptop. So if you just want to drop a little coin for a simple, what-you-pay-for is what-you-get machine, don't get this one. But if you are looking for a machine that looks and runs great, with an operating system that is simple (but not simplistic) and has a polish and flair that Windows has never even approached, then consider this model. I love it.
