Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M w/ 512MB) review

QuickTake:

Pros: New aluminum unibody construction looks good, feels solid; giant trackpad; attractive edge-to-edge glass on display; new dual graphics provide more power or more battery life.

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
