The macbook worked right out of the box,set-up was easy.I had a pc laptop (whose company name I won’t say) and had all sorts of problems (slow boot-up, and screen and registry problems) I got so fed up, I decided to get rid of it.
While looking at laptops at Best Buy store, I looked at the macbook pro “15.4″ which just happened to have the new Core i5 processor. At first, I balked at the price, the more I “played” with it, the more I liked it (And this is from someone who has NEVER owned a mac of any kind) And while I plan to keep my pc desktop, the macbook has become a welcome addtion to my household.

Just received my MBP today. It is my first foray into the portable mac world, I had a mac desktop in the nineties. I am very impressed so far. It has all the bells and whistles that Apple is famous for. External battery indicators so you do not have to pop the lid to see if it is charged. A sweet backlit keyboard. Amazing anti-glare hi res led screen. The only thing that stinks is it is sooo expensive. But well worth it for a power computer user.

Honestly, this is absolutely wonderful. I was waiting for this model to be released since January, and have been holding off on buying a Macbook Pro until the new model came out. I’m just really happy that I waited to buy, because this thing kicks a$$! Still pretty pricey, but I’ve been putting off money for a while as a little Macbook Fund, and finally got to use it. Completely worth every single penny dime and nickel. If you can afford a new laptop, and are in the market for one, of course, then definitely go for this. Great overall. Screen is a bit glossy, but that’s not too bad.

Full disclosure. I have never owned a windows/DOS/Linux what-have-you PC. The computers I was raised on were always Macs; even my elementary and middle school computer labs were full of Macs. (I attended school with Wozniacs kids for crying out loud!) I have ridden the Apple wave through numerous ups and downs; we owned Apple Classics, iMacs, PowerPC’s, iBooks, Newtons… even an Apple Cube! And let me tell you, I’ve taken my fair share of abuse.
“PC’s are better! You can’t play any good games on a Mac!”
(In the past, very true)
“Macs can only do simple stuff and are geared toward novices”
(Bull. I edited gorgeous digital video with my Mac and won best picture in my film class. I created my company’s web site on a Mac, never a hitch. Every Adobe product you can imagine works. My photos and music are perfectly organized, compressed, and compatible across all platforms. I can tinker with networks, firewalls, and internal components.)
“Macs are overpriced, and are elitist hunks of junk… people only buy them because they look cool and they think they’re better than everyone else.”
(I am so sick of that one. Yes, they are expensive. I buy one every 5 years. Thats it. Yes the marketing is a bit snooty, but does marketing take away from your iPods glory? Your iPhone’s? No. It most certainly doesn’t take away from the AWESOME SAUCE that is my new Macbook Pro! AND YES! IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL BETTER! Better prepared, assured, and confident to take on any problem that the digital world throws at me!)
PLEASE TELL ME, PC FANS… WHAT CAN’T YOU DO ON A MAC? Be specific. No WISHY WASHY answers.
I’ve yet to receive any satisfactory answers.
OH and BTW. This 15inch Macbook pro oozes sexy, can do major heavy lifting, makes my life better everyday, and is better than your PC. deal with it.
