Apple Products are the BEST!!!Jul 08, 2010
I recently purchased an Apple MacBook Pro. What a great product. The keyboard is easy to type on and the shortcut keys make it a breeze to get things done quickly. It was very easy to transfer existing files from my Mac Pro (tower) computer to the laptop. I was up and running in no time. The back lit keyboard is nice as is the anti glare screen.
I HIGHLY recommend this product!!!! I have always had Apple computers and wouldn't want to use anything but a Mac!!!
Shopping on Amazon and comparing prices with the Mac Store, Amazon beat the price significantly!!!
It was delivered in a timely fashion!!!

All I have to say is this is a great computer and if you need service Apple is available right away unlike some other PC vendors.

Overall the machine is good, fast and responsive.
I bought this Mac to replace the one I had used for 4 years (the logic board failed on it). I was hesitant about getting this one because of the preloaded version of OS X and my fears were confirmed. I am a graphic designer and have several Adobe design programs and this version of OS X makes it very unstable. Probably because the programs are older but us starving artists simply cannot afford to get new hardware and new software all at once.
I don't like the fact that all the USB ports are gathered on one side. My old machine had two one one side and one on the other making it quick and simple to plug things in. When they are all on one side space is tight and I have to grab the wireless mouse usb with my fingernails because there isn't room to use anything else to unplug it.
What else could I ask for?Apr 03, 2010
I am very happy with my new MacBook Pro 17". It is fast and very sleek. I like the compact solid feeling that the unibody gives it. I recommend it!
MacBook Pro is the way to go!Mar 25, 2010
After owning 4 laptop PCs over the years and ALL of them crashing on me due to nasty viruses, I decided to make the leap. What can I say that hasn't already been said before...soooo easy to use, sooo easy to install programs, sooo sexy, sooo fast! I could go on and on. Graphics and integration with Adobe products and my iPhone apps are much smoother.
Service, service, and more service. Apple is there to give you TLC, no matter what your issues are.
Love it!
