I had this laptop up and on the web within 5 minutes of opening the box. The longest step was tracking down my router password and typing it in correctly. I'm upgrading from a 1.25 GHz flat panel iMac running 10.4.9 mainly for music recording/processing

Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) MacBook Pro 15.4-inch

Comments:
Apple's first laptop since the move from Motorola to Intel processors isn't the groundbreaking machine that many were expecting. If anything, the move has made the mobile Mac more ordinary, and the chip switch will put off anyone reliant on Adobe applicat

Review Verdict: The Photoshop test performs 20 actions upon a 20MB image in Photoshop CS 2. Results are in minutes and seconds and shorter bars are better. The LightWave test renders the radiosity_BOX.lws scene in LightWave 8.3 to test graphics processing power. Results

Comments:
Apple's 17-inch version of the Macbook Pro is - apart from the screen - essentially the same as the 15-inch model we looked at

Review Verdict: If you're a heavy Adobe-application user then you may want to wait until Creative Suite 3 or After Effects 8 before purchasing this laptop - but it's still the best creative-focused 17-inch laptop we've seen so far

Comments:
The smooth and comfortable keyboard is the best thing about the MacBook Pro

Review Verdict: While our benchmark tests didn't see anything like this, the machine is quick, and runs even the most taxing of applications without any trouble at all. It shouldn't come as a surprise to you to find 2,048MB of DDR2 memory helping things along. If you're

The Macbook is full of features behind a rugged chassis

Review Verdict: The keyboard, flanked by speaker grills, seems to sit oddly balanced against empty space (save the track-pad) below. Ports punctuate either side of the inch-thick chassis, while a slot loading optical drive is positioned on the front right. The MagSafe po
