It's a Mac.

I love this laptop; so elegant; so easy to use!

pizatski recommended this 2 years, 2 months ago

It's what I use for work. Fast, easy to use, unobtrusive, and hardware that stays clean and can take a pounding.
Cons: Don't mind being a hippie. It's being offered PBR and a ride on a fixie everywhere I go that bothers me...

By all accounts, a big jump in speed and the new I/O, Thunderbolt, sounds awesome (plug many devices with different I/O into one port - if i understand it correctly).

Incredible design, out of the box usage with little to no setup time. It's Apple and it's what they do. Multi-touch trackpad will increase your productivity as you're not hovering with a mouse to perform common actions.
Cons: Wish they would just increase that dedicated video to 1GB already. Not a deal breaker though.

Strong laptop, fast, excellent OS, stylish. Good battery life. Make sure to get the non-reflective screen. Have it.
Cons: Reflective screen is hard to use in many light conditions.

LOVE! Stable & intuitive. Have run modeling programs on the vmware for Windows-works well. Perfect screen size for working at for hrs. Apple replaced battery with low charge (after yrs of use)
Cons: Expensive (but worth it for the time NOT spent troubleshooting bugs/fixes like with PCs)

dan_radin recommended this 2 years, 8 months ago

User experience and a seamless hardware-software marriage. Great form, with attractive industrial and mechanical design. Appropriate selection of ports and peripheral compatibility. Battery life.
Cons: Comparatively expensive to many non-Apple laptops. Surcharge for anti-glare display.

Best computer for dollar in Mac laptop portfolio. Smaller screen is minor sacrifice for significant discount.
Cons: Smaller screen doesn't reduce weight as much as I'd like. Stupid front ledge is sharp and can annoy wrists. New adapters grrr.

victord1995 recommended this 2 years, 8 months ago

Pretty light-weight, fast, easy to use, great for editing films with imovie and creating jingles with garageband
Cons: Cant think of any at the moment

Runs OS X, great construction, very sturdy, back-lit keyboard, lovely screen, light weight, powerful, you can get a matte display IF you want, great battery life
Cons: sharp edges that can hurt your wrists (depending how you type), need an adapter/cable to hook up firewire 400 drives to firewire 800 port

mszegedy recommended this 3 years, 2 months ago

One of the best laptops.
Cons: Expensive.

lmchurch recommended this 3 years, 3 months ago

multi-touch and backlit keyboard are great. overall quality can't be beat. good for personal and business.
Cons: i am in the hate group for the glossy display. also, expensive.

rjpalmer recommended this 3 years, 11 months ago

I already have this. perfect match.
Cons: Everyone thinks your a hippie.

cadmir recommended this 3 years, 11 months ago

Simply the best choice. You can do everything you want on this and never feel underpowered or scared of loosing your work. Apple is a name you can trust with your life.
Cons: Does not make breakfast.

kyphos recommended this 4 years ago

Grab a refurb'd 2008 model (FB134LL) from the Apple store. You'll save big bucks, and get a matte screen.
Cons: The new MBPs have glossy screens which can be hard to view in bright locations. Some love 'em, some hate 'em.

mikewest recommended this 4 years, 1 month ago

It's beautiful, powerful, and is quite capable of supporting whatever you want to do with a computer. It's easily fast enough to run pretty much whatever you throw at it.
Cons: I don't think it's worth the price bump over the non-pro MacBook. Also, glossy screen. ARG.

rickcogley recommended this 4 years, 1 month ago

Superior laptop with an incredible design, and my main machine these days. Beautiful display but see cons. Glass multi-touch trackpad and new-type keyboard are great once you get used to them.
Cons: Display is available in glossy only and the reflections are distracting especially outdoors. USB ports are physically close together some some cables cannot be plugged in simultaneously.

calebcuster recommended this 4 years, 1 month ago

Multi-touch is a very nice feature. The single pad/button sometimes malfunctions but 90% of the time its an asset.

mike3k recommended this 4 years, 1 month ago

A good desktop replacement. Great performance. Easy to upgrade RAM and hard drive.
Cons: Heavy. Battery life isn't great. Prefer a matte display.

bringo recommended this 4 years, 1 month ago

The size of this unit will suit most people's needs perfectly. Great construction and materials used throughout the product.
Cons: The glossy display produces vibrant colors but has been a sticking point for some users.
Additional adapters are needed to make this product work with non Apple external displays.

tom recommended this 4 years, 1 month ago

Pretty much perfect in every respect.

chris_thomson recommended this 4 years, 1 month ago

Great software included, gorgeous software UI and hardware design.
Cons: Expensive, glossy display.

micah recommended this 4 years, 1 month ago

Its a great mid-range laptop in terms of size and power. Great feature set and software.
Cons: friggin' expensive!

derekrose recommended this 4 years, 1 month ago

Great power and features, can easily be a desktop replacement for all but the most demanding users. Great connectivity options, stability, runs Mac OS X.
Cons: Can be expensive for someone with simple needs (try the MacBook), shiny glass display is a let-down for some people.

renaissancechambara recommended this 4 years, 1 month ago

Right balance between power and performance, not a bit of retarded design like the Air
Cons: Not keen on the new one's glossy screen
