Apple MacBook Pro Intel Santa Rosa laptop
Comments:
Apple products have frequently been about the looks, and in the case of the new MacBook Pro, the beauty comes mainly from the glossy 1,920x1,200 pixel 17in screen.
Review Verdict: But that's ignoring the point of the Apple MacBook Pro, the best laptop we think Apple has ever made. Usually, when reviewing a product, we come across a design flaw or issue that gives us pause. Not so this time. That doesn't mean that this Apple MacBook

The 17-inch MacBook Pro is a fabulous machine for anyone who concludes that its high performance, huge screen, and impressive versatility more than justify its size and weight. The remaining question for those Mac users: Buy the 17-inch model now or wait
Review Verdict: Inside, however, the new top-of-the-line Apple laptop incorporates not only a completely different processor, but a slew of other changes you should consider before deciding whether-or when-this is a machine for you

Latest pro laptops offer display advances, new graphics chip
Comments:
A hot new graphics chip, improved display technology, and support for more memory top the list of enhancements in Apple's latest MacBook Pro laptops.
Review Verdict: Now Apple's first Santa Rosa-based laptops-the new 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros-have arrived, yet the improvements turn out to be fairly modest. In fact, the most important refinements in the latest models come not from the new chip set, but from separate

If you've been waiting to buy a new Apple laptop, or you've been hesitating about upgrading from your G4 PowerBook, wait no longer. While the 2.4GHz model is a fine value for the money, the higher-end 15-inch and 17-inch models are outstanding top-of-the-

MacBook Pro 15-inch
Comments:
Apple's current upgrade cycle sees new computers appearing two-to-three months after the release of new Intel chips, so it's no surprise to see the MacBook Pro gaining a dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
Review Verdict: There was also a huge boost in performance for older applications still running in Mac OS X's Rosetta emulation mode - which may be due to enhancements in the 10.4.8 operating system as much as the new chips. Photoshop ran almost twice as fast on the Core

QuickTake:
Pros: Fast dual-core processor. Small. Light, Elegant design. Great price.
Cons: Still held back by non-native applications from Adobe, Autodesk and others. Fewer screen and hard drive elements than we'd like.

The 15.4in MacBook Pro is a similar size to the PowerBook G4 it replaces â€" and looks just as slim and sexy next to most Window-based laptops, with which it now shares its processor.
Review Verdict: The MacBook Pro is a good system that'll satisfy most users. But those who don't need a large screen or strong gameplay will find the standard MacBook offers pretty much identical speed for a fraction of the cost.
