I’ve had a Mac Book for over three years now. I have had no major problems with the computer itself except for a couple things. The brightness of my LCD screen is a tad dim, but when you use it all day you can hardly notice much. Another thing would be the battery life. I’m not too experienced with other laptops, but the battery life of the Mac Book seems to die out very quickly which sucks when your on the go. Overall however I think Apples MacBook Pro has proven itself to be a very versatile computer encompassing everything you could really need in a laptop. I would tend to opt for a PC however, as Apple overcharges their products WAY too much for something you could get cheaper at the same value.

The best and the right decision that I made! I used a friend’s mac for couple of hours last month (when he showed off) and immediately realised why MAC was a cut above the rest. When I decided to buy, thought as well should go for the best in the MACBOOK Pro range. I had so many Windows based laptops over the last decade but this I can say is a prized possession! No more crashes, viruses, firewalls, messy uninstalls, painfully slow startups, blue (or black) screens, registry headaches etc.,
After using this, I definitely made a decision not to go back to Windows again. If I did want to use Windows for whatever reason, bootcamp gives the option but not sure why would one want to? After seeing me praise the MAC some of my colleagues have either bought or in the process of buying one. The others who have bought it already say the MAC is ‘just awesome!’
If you’re reading this with a view to whether you should buy or not, don’t waste your time! Just go for it – you won’t regret your decision.

Defnitely the best laptop you can buy. It’s almost perfect and hats saying a lot considering how great their products are already. They just keep getting better and better, but this machine is so great it will last me a long time before another upgrade. Bravo!
