The Elite laptop of all! (2008-11-23)
It is everything in a laptop i dream of and more. super fast, in all aspects of what I want to do, be it video editing, music editing, or writing a resume or just plain surfing,it is the best OS of all! My only peeve is that the hard drive is not a true 320GB hard drive (298?). Other than that, this laptop blows all of the rest out of the water. On Boot camp, a vista OS never had it so good with the ultra crisp graphics and and vivid color. That is the only thing that vista have over leopard, but leopard eats it up overall. Highly recommended if you want the best of both worlds in OSes, this is it and no other. That alone in my book makes this system worth every penny and once you go mac.......you never go back! My Imac pushed me away from PC's and there is no more need other than other particular things that windows do that OS X do not. Great investment, worth every dollar in my opinion. Parallels in an awesome hit as well! so many features, that will blow you away. Just a true blessing to have.
This computer is AMAZING (2008-11-21)
This is my first Apple laptop computer purchase and I am happy that I did. This thing is fast, quiet, great battery life and the screen is very bright. Also Amazon.com took great care when shipping the item to me.
Great Computer (2008-11-21)
I am a longtime PC user. In fact, I am a software engineer and work with a PC all day long. I still see the benefits of Windows computers, but after some exposure to Apple products...I have been wanting a Mac for a while now. After getting the base model new MacBook Pro (15.4" in, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive), I must say that it did not disappoint in the least bit.
You may here a bunch of negatives about the glossy screen, but I can truthfully say that it has not bothered me in the smallest way. If anything, I must say that this is the best screen on any laptop I have ever owned. Mac OS X is also very great. I have to admit, I am still finding my way, but for the most part things have been very easy. I really like the trackpad, and often find myself attempting some of the multi-touch gestures on my work Dell machine.
If I had to complain about anything it would actually probably be the keyboard...and this is a minor compliant. I actually find that I like the keyboard on my Dell laptop much better. However, in no way is the keyboard bad...it is just not as good. My only other complaint would be the price of the machine. Compared to the machines on the market, I still feel like this computer was worth it. The build quality and all the little extras are second to none. However, I still feel like the price is a bit high...yet still worth it.
Still a pretty decent computer for some, but a MAJOR downgrade from previous generation. No longer for creative Professionals (2008-11-20)
Good computer, but a major disappointment as it is downgraded in MANY ways from the previous model. No longer useful for Art, Photography, Video professionals. I have owned every upgrade to the Powerbook/Macbook Pro line for 9 years. EVERY single one! This is the first I had to return :(
First the good
-Very solid chassis, even more so than before.
-some of the benefits the previous generation had
-easier access to the hard drive for upgrade
-Improved Vid card
-Laptop that runs OSX, still the best operating system in use today!
The Bad (compared to the previous generation)
-Thinner by a hair, but wider and deeper yet a SMALLER battery? Very poor choice by Apple. End result = worse battery life in a larger laptop with the same size screen. (downgrade)
-Keyboard, some do like the new keyboard, I do not. It is simply not as good as the one it replaces. (Downgrade)
-Screen screen screen, the glossy screens are absolute garbage if you want proper color rendition or if you want to use it anywhere that you do not have complete control of where the lights are. Coffee shop? Good luck. Library? I don't think so! I am a professional photographer and I had to return the new Macbook Pro mainly because the glossy screen (no option for Matte anymore) has horrible color reproduction. (downgrade)
-New Trackpad. Apple has lost their way with the Macbook Pro. The Pro part used to mean "for professionals" this is definitely not the case anymore. No button on the trackpad "neato" until you try to edit a photo. Try applying a brush while holding the whole trackpad down! Same can be said of many programs. Basically this gimmick has many serious repercussions on real world use. (Downgrade)
-Removed the Firewire 400 port. Huh? Still WIDELY used by Pro's. A single Firewire 800 port just won't cut it. (Downgrade)
-Very sad to see such a great tool fall into consumer trends. Apple will slowly begin to lose it's ability to charge a premium for this product. Much of the premium was based on the idea that professionals use it. I genuinely think this will be a thing of the past in a VERY short time if Apple does not do something to fix this product.
Sorry Apple, but you missed the mark BIG time on this one.
The previous generation is still available as I write this and at GREAT prices. I would grab the absolute best of that generation, as it may be the last great model.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RM83V7DHZIBQ My name is Michael Manna and I host the T4 Show. It's a site that covers all technology news as well as performing podcasts and videos. I just received my MacBook Pro today and shot a quick tour. I haven't had a chance to fully review it yet, but I want to make a comment about Amazon Prime. It is the BEST. I ordered the MBP with 1 day shipping for $3.99 on Saturday, assuming it would be delivered on Tuesday. It arrived Monday before 10am. This is not the first time that has happened. I am a huge proponent of Amazon Prime, especially for Christmas shopping. Now I can play with my new MacBook Pro and not get bumped and shoved at the malls. Prime is the best!
