Shop For Apple MacBook Pro

Pros: Build quality is impeccable. Excellent screen. OS never crashes! Fully integrated bash terminal is great---it provides seamless connectivity to other linux-based systems. Magnetic power cable connection works fantastic. Fewer viruses are written for Macs.

Cons: Mostly about OS X and user interface. Hard to get used for long-time Windows users. Even after getting used to it, it lacks some important features Windows provides by default. File manager (Finder) is poorly designed--moving files around is a big pain. Lack of home/end/insert/delete buttons on the keyboard is a big minus. Clicking the touchpad requires quite a bit of force. Choosing large areas of text via touchpad is not easy (you need to push the hard touchpad and move your finger for pages!). IMO, "minimize all" in Windows works much better than expose.

In principle, one can install Windows on a Mac. However, Mac laptops are designed to work with OS X (e.g. there's no 2nd, 3rd buttons on the touchpad, and no trackball for scrolling, no home/end/insert/delete buttons etc). Running windows on a Mac has its own inconveniences and it's not preferable by design.

Verdict: For me, the laptop would be exceptional if it were designed to run Windows. If you're happy with OS X, this is still the best laptop around.Get more detail about Apple MacBook Pro.

Where To Buy Pre-Owned iBook G4 1.33 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, 40 GB internal drive, internal Combo Drive, internal 56k modem, Airport Extreme and Bluetooth installed, 12.1" TFT display, OS CD is not included, OS 10.4.11 installed

I've had a 12" iBook G4 since 2005 and it's still my favorite notebook for browsing the internet, writing letters, and even reading pdf's. It's very lightweight and I consider the screen the perfect size. It's held up very well. One of the keys has a hairline crack and one of the rubber feet on the bottom fell off but I clean it every month or so and it still looks almost new.

My only criticism is that it gets a little warm so I keep it on top of a clipboard when holding it in my lap. No viruses, no crashes, no worries.

When netbooks started becoming popular a couple of years ago, I had to laugh because I already have a lightweight, handy netbook. In fact, I'm using it right now to write this review. Given a choice between a new Asus or Dell netbook or a used iBook G4 for the same price, I would take the G4 without thinking about it for a second.Get more detail about Pre-Owned iBook G4 1.33 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, 40 GB internal drive, internal Combo Drive, internal 56k modem, Airport Extreme and Bluetooth installed, 12.1" TFT display, OS CD is not included, OS 10.4.11 installed.

Buy Apple MacBook Pro MB766LL/A 17-Inch Laptop (2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, Slot Loading SuperDrive)

This is a review of the Apple Macbook Pro model MB766LL/A.

I've been shopping for a notebook for quite some time. There really is a lot of junk out there. Having used a Powerbook G4 and the first version of the Macbook Pro, I began to look into purchasing a Windows based notebook for Visual Studio development.

I tried the HP dv7t, a Dell XPS m1530 and a Sony FW390. The Sony was quite nice but Sony support tends to be a bit lacking. Sony also would not guarantee support for the upcoming Windows 7!

In spite of the negatives that I found with these products, my final decision to stay with the Apple line was due to the superior hardware that I was always aware of anyway. The multi-touch trackpad, the back-lit keyboard, bright 17" 1920x1200 LED panel, superior fit and finish, etc. All this and more just adds up to one superior product. And I have not even addressed the advantages of OSX Leopard and the upcoming Snow Leopard.

I briefly considered a Unibody MBP, but the price discount of roughly $1,000.00 for this unit and the awful glassy screens on the new ones made the choice very easy for me.

Oh, and I like a button on my trackpad too!Get more detail about Apple MacBook Pro MB766LL/A 17-Inch Laptop (2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB Hard Drive, Slot Loading SuperDrive).

Cheap Apple MacBook Pro Laptop

I have been in various hi-tech industries for most of my career and I am very fluent with using and developing software on PC/Windows, Linux, and Unix systems. I hadn't even considered owning a MacBook Pro. I was still holding on to the out-dated perception that Apple couldn't make it in the computer industry. Since, at one time, their computers used the under-powered PPC processor from Motorola, I knew they couldn't compete with the seemingly exponential processing power growth curve associated with computers based on Intel processors.

Then about six months ago, I walked into an Apple store. The staff had so much fun showing off and converting me to the MacBook Pro. They were smart; off-the-chart smart.

Apple now builds the coolest hardware and software on the planet: Macbook Pro, i-touch/phone, i-pod, i-pad, i-tunes, OS X, Xcode IDE. Apple recently celebrated their 10 billion i-tunes download milestone and reported their most profitable quarter ever. Their stock growth over the last five years is impressive. The trend is clear; Apple definitely rules this industry now.

So, what makes the MacBook Pro 17 the laptop to own?

Screen: 1920x1200 pixel resolution for a 17 inch display. Evenly backlit with LED technology produces a crisp display. For the 17 inch, there is a choice of flat or glossy screen finishes. I chose the flat finish to eliminate the reflections.

Case: Lightweight, aluminum case. Features (such as microphone, camera, ports, on/off button, DVD slot) that should be small are small. No plastic cases that crack; no creaking lid hinges; no flimsy plastic DVD trays. The manufacturing is first class. It is analogous to being in a luxury car where everything just fits well. The MacBook Pro exudes engineering excellence in its design.

Battery: With a PC laptop, I needed to minimize usage to maintain on time. On a recent 3-hour airline trip, I tried to max out usage on the MacBook Pro. Still had plenty of battery charge at the end of the flight.

Trackpad: Based on multi-touch technology. Two fingers on trackpad and depress is similar to a right-click. Two-finger swipe is a scroll. Very nice human factors technology throughout.

Operation: Very quiet, no fan noise (does it even have a fan?). Fast start-up and login.

OS X (Snow Leopard): Stable, no blue screen of death. It is obvious that OS X has its roots from Unix. One of the features, Spaces, allows multiple concurrent workspaces to be used (Ctrl-arrows navigates through the workspaces). OS X also includes software for folder/file encryption (file vault), version control software (CVS), and development (python, perl, php, gcc, bash shell).

Fun stuff: Open the terminal window and type 'say this is a great day to buy a mac' without the quotes.Get more detail about Apple MacBook Pro Laptop.
