Product Description: Apple MacBook Pro

You've seen improvements in notebook performance before - but never on this scale. The Intel Core Duo powering MacBook Pro is actually two processors built into a single chip. This, combined with myriad other engineering leaps, boosts performance up to four times higher than the PowerBook G4. With this awesome power, it's a breeze to render complex 3D models, enjoy...

Intel Core Duo is the first chip built using Intel's groundbreaking 65-nanometer process - resulting in transistors so small, you could fit a hundred inside a single human cell. With smaller distances for electrons to travel, and two processors designed to share resources and conserve power, Intel Core Duo achieves higher levels of performance as it uses fewer watts. Which is what makes it possible to design a super-powerful MacBook Pro that's only one inch thin.

When Mac technology makes something easy, it's hardly news. So here's more non-news for MacBook Pro owners: software just works. If you see the Universal logo on a new application, that means it will run on Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers. For most existing applications, you simply do what you've always done: double-click them. Thanks to the Rosetta technology in Mac OS X, they look and feel just like they did before.

Pros: FAST! iSight, Mac OS X windows,
Cons: 512 RAM for a 2k laptop is not enough. EXPENSIVE
I have had my macbook pro for about 3 weeks now and I have to say that it has either met or surpased all of my expectations Design The design of the macbook pro is just breathtaking. I really like its simple yet elegent look, and I have to say th...at all the design features are not just for looks. Every detail about this Macbook Pro is carefully engineered to perform in the "real world". Power I have to say this laptop is FAST. All of the programs that do not require Rosseta boot up almost instantly and there are usually very few speed bumps ...ever. With all that power I am able to do something that most people said I would never be able to do on a mac... GAME. After installing windows I quickly installed all of my newest games and started to go at it. Unreal worked amazing, as did CS:S. I was able to run both at near the highest levels and still maintain a very nice framerate. Perhaps the largest complaint that I have about this laptop is its RAM. The thing only comes with 512 mb of ram which severly cripples the perfomance of such a powerful machine. After paying more then 2 grand on a machine like this it is almost a requirement to have at least 1 gig. Screen The screen on the macbook is just amazing. It is a extremely crisp and bright 15.4 inch wide screen display. The best feature is its amaizng resolution, 1440 X 900. With that kind of real estate you can literaly have 2 documents open at the same time and actually be productive. Battery Life The battery life on the Macbook pro is pretty good. I heard a lot of people complaining that it was not enough but i can get a solid 3 hours on it and i find that it is more then enough. iSight I have to say that I was somewhat impressed with the iSight. It is a very nice webcam and the new Photobooth software is just too fun. I dont even know how much time I spent playing aroudn with that. MAC OS X Software My macbook came preloaded with some amazing software. First of all let me just say this, MAC OS X Tiger blows windowz away. Its not even a competition! It is like Mike Tyson of old fighting a parapolegic (a person with no legs or arms). On top of that iLife is awesome, as is all the other software such as comic life (very fun). Read more Less

Pros: Duality in running xp and tiger
Cons: none yet
Been using this product for 2 months now in a very high tech intense environment, It goes over and beyond expectations. Using a USB to serial dongle I can log in to Network devices and configure them using the native terminal application and zterm, I...nstalled Windoze XP and Dual boot system runs great the down side is that XP side is vulnerable to viruses. Mac side is not. Read more Less
