Customer Reviews

Incredible - worth the money.
I was given mine as a Christmas present for my studies (I'm looking into working with graphics and movies).

start with the os: interface beautifully smooth and professional yet friendly. no problems since i had it.

Spec: Brilliant performance. I have never had a problem with it and the speed is very impressive compared to my dell (only purchased 6 months before this), which within a few weeks of use became laggy and difficult to work with. also much easier to keep track of program placements and backups.

only had one little issue with the keyboard but this was sorted within 24 hours with a update.

I think that apple have the right to be very smug about their os and their computers, because they are of such high quality. yes they are pricey, but with it comes quality and a computer that will last for years to come.

Forget Win. Vista... this is the machine for you!
I have used Windows operating systems and PC's exclusively for the last 11 years, having last owned an Apple in the early 90's. I had been somewhat fortunate to use a friend's briefly during the last few years, but remained 'loyal' to a PC. When I needed to upgrade to a new laptop in October, I considered getting another Windows machine, due to the slight doubt about compatibility and that it has such a grip on ownership in this country. However, I decided to go with a MacBook Pro.... and I'm TOTALLY in love! As someone who has grown up with using a computer extensively, this is a dream, but I would imagine user-friendly to those not quite as confident with computers.

It is by far a superior machine and operating system to many a PC laptop and Windows... especially what I've used of Vista - urg... it's 'resource heavy' and just painful to use in comparison. I nearly threw my friend's computer out the window when I tried to change some wireless settings for her. Don't get me wrong, I liked Win. XP, but Vista is no-go. Go for the Mac, and go with OS X Leopard - marvellous, sexy, and just plain magical!

The machine is also one little (thin) sexy beast too - you should see it against other laptops, by far the nicest (I can see the green eyed monsters in the Library peeking over!) :)

How Much...
How come this machine is so much more than on apples website? it is only £1299 there....
