Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M)

by Online Shopper

Comments:

Review Verdict: Apple's redesigned 13-inch MacBook is essentially a shrunken version of the more expensive 15-inch Pro line. With its new aluminum body, new trackpad, and Nvidia graphics, it's an even more attractive choice for mainstream laptop buyers than was the plast

QuickTake:

Pros: New aluminum construction looks good, feels solid; giant touch pad; attractive edge-to-edge glass on display; improved integrated graphics; backlit keyboard on some models; thinner than previous version.

Cons: Still no ExpressCard or SD-card slot; loses FireWire port; all-clicking touch pad is a bit awkward, at least initially; $1,299 now gets you a slower CPU than it did before; no matte-screen option.

Comments:
Apple's MacBook ditches its plastic shell and Intel chipset for a solid aluminum chassis with an Nvidia chipset, and serves up a multitouch glass trackpad, LED-backlit display, and mini DisplayPort.

Apple's new 15in. MacBook Pro has a redesigned aluminium body, a new touchpad with expanded functionality and a dual graphics setup for either longer battery life or better performance. However, there's now less incentive to spend extra on a Pro because i

Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch

by Roger Hibbert

Comments:
Mac haters, get ready to seethe. The MacBook Pro 15-inch isn't just the best Mac around, it's one hell of a PC. Even when running a non-native OS (Windows, that is), this Mac makes a mockery of its competitors in gaming tests and laps its rivals in batter

Read full review at wired.com

QuickTake:

Pros: Astounding gaming performance - even trumped a $4,800 Alienware machine. Unrivaled battery life of three hours of DVD playback at max screen brightness. Performs just as well in the form of a Windows PC as it does as a Mac.

Cons: Just two USB ports and none of the fancy stuff like HDMI, eSATA, Blu-ray drive or even a lousy SD slot. Expensive.

Review Verdict: While the MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz is undoubtedly a luxury purchase, the breathtaking speed it provided makes it a compelling purchase. While we would advise a certain amount of caution over buying this system, rather than a regular MacBook Pro 2.53GHz machine;

Apple MacBook Pro: Laptops and PC systems

by Chris Wood

Comments:
The MacBook Pro is a laptop computer which not only made its predecessor look pretty bad, but it made AMD and Intel-based PC laptops look like children's toys in comparison. Packed with the Intel Core Duo processor running at either 2.0GHz or 2.16GHz, a m

Review Verdict: After an extensive look at Apple's relatively new MacBook Pro, I am quite satisfied with the new look and performance of the Intel-based Mac.

Apple MacBook Pro 15

by Charles Fulton

Comments:
Out of the box, you'll notice the great packaging Apple uses. It's a simple collection of parts, really: the computer itself, a charger with a flip-out prongs (a standard power cable is also included as well), a DVI-to-VGA adapter cable, and an Apple Remo

Review Verdict: As far as filesystems go, Windows XP is incompatible with the Mac's Journaled HFS+, however, products like MediaFour's MacDrive will give you read/write access to any HFS+ volume. Also, Mac OS X can only read (and not write to) NTFS volumes. The common gr

Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch Unibody)

by Dana Wollman

Comments:

Review Verdict: The glossy display only limited our viewing angles when we tried to watch from a severe 180-degree angle. Otherwise, viewing angles were decent when watching from the side, when dipping the screen forward, and when sitting a few feet away. For $50 extra,
