 Looks cool but massively overpriced Aug 16, 2008
This is a product that is incredibly overpriced, and simply isn't worth the money. You can buy the same hardware in a computer that is $500-$600 from dell.com Look at the inspiron or business lines to see what I mean. I got my dell computer with 4gb ram, 260gb hd, 15in screen, and a 2.6GHz penryn cpu for $200 less then this. It's simply insane to buy this unless you for some reason, have to have the apple operating system.
Apple has created a cult of people who have fallen into the trap of paying for a computer, that although works well, is one that with the same amount of money, you could get a far better computer.
 Can't help but love a Mac Jul 31, 2008
I love the large screen. It makes trading stocks much easier as I can watch up to 6 charts at once all while buying and selling stocks. What's so great is that I can not only do this at home, but as long as someone else is driving I can keep trading while running errands around town or on trips. The larger screen is GREAT. The only down side is that the computer still gets hot. Not as hot as my husband's older model, but still bothersome at times. As an investment it has paid for itself already with the profits I've made.
 Glossy screen on MacBook Pro Jul 21, 2008
I bought a MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz, 15.4 inch screen) in late June to replace my iBook. I was very hesitant to order a glossy screen, especially after my niece's husband tried to steer me away from the glossy screen. But he's a PC user, and several reviewers said that a PC glossy screen is different than a Mac glossy screen.
I would say that must be true, because I'm not merely satisfied with the glossy screen, I'm very GLAD that I got it. The picture is so much better than my iBook that every time I have to use the iBook (while I was transferring all my files, and while I was wiping it clean and setting it up for my husband), I can't wait to get back to my MBP.
I have used it throughout my home in different lighting conditions, and at Panera, and it has been fine - better than the iBook. What other reviewers have said is true - if there is any glare at all, you just tilt the screen a quarter-inch one way or the other and there's no more glare. This is true even while I'm sitting with our bright living room windows behind me. When I was at Panera with windows surrounding me on three sides and overhead lights, there was a little more glare than at home - but MUCH BETTER visibility than I ever got there with my iBook.
I haven't used it in an office environment, but I have used it at home with overhead lighting, and tilting the screen a quarter-inch has solved any glare problem. Plus, the screen can be made so much brighter than my iBook, that makes a huge difference in visibility in a high-light environment.
I love everything else about my MBP - the better screen resolution, the backlit keyboard, the speakers, the speed of the processor (even though it's only a 2.2 GHz), and everything else. I can't believe how much more screen space I have with a 15.4 inch screen (I had a 14-inch iBook) - it really does make a significant difference.
The only thing I don't like is the position of the USB port and the firewire port on the right side. I use my computer on a lapdesk with a mouse, and the position of this port makes that impossible while I have something plugged into it.
15" Laptop Apple MacBook Pro Jul 18, 2008
Excellent laptop. Our grandchildren were gifted this computer. It is great for family i-chats. They are learning so much about computers. Easy and no worries about viruses. Everyone is happy.
pretty nice Jul 12, 2008
i just bought this macbook pro online to replace my older powerbook which crashed. i am generally happy with the product. the screen is the biggest difference immediately, its flat screen pops out in comparison to my older powerbook. otherwise in an overall look it looks just like the powerbook..so i was a bit disappointed...was hoping there was some new styling from the few years apple has had to make design changes. its just when u upgrade to something u kinda want a new look..and this does not have that.
the overall working of the macbook is great. sound quality superb and i LOVE the isight addition. the clarity and sound are really great and i have been web chatting with family and friends who have also noticed the difference from the other seperate web cam i had before. so, a nice addition.
weight wise...still feels the same. battery heat wise still feels the same. keyboard still the same except for the new back lighting which senses when in darkness..so thats cool.
so, for a week of using, so far so good!
