Advantages: Great specs and software, looks fantastic, high resolution screen
Disadvantages: Scratches, many programs won't work on OSX
The Apple Macbook Pro is an extensively popular laptop, Apple have sold many of them and it is number 1 on many of the laptop charts in various computer magazines. Unlike other laptops, its features a completely different operating system and very unique looks. Are all of the brilliant reviews justified?
The operating system, Mac OSX, has been made extremely popular and therefore made the laptop more popular because it is incredibly simple and easy to use. It comes built in with many programs that would cost a lot of money if bought on a standard windows laptop. I also think that it looks fantastic, Apple also always manage to choose a really good background to go with it.
The whole laptop is covered in metal. Not only does this look great, but it also gives it extra protection to in the case of an accident. There is one problem though with these unique looks, it will tend to scratch a bit too much. Other than that they are great.
In terms of specs everything performs as well as they should. There is 2gb of ram on board, which is plenty. Also a new nvidia graphics card as been fitted in with these models, it can run many games, but unfortunately without windows not many games are compatible, a few are though. There has now been a multi touch trackpad fitted on to this range, it's brilliant and I enjoy using it with iphoto.
The screen is great for watching movies on. Its 15 inches big which is an average laptop size. But the screen has a very high resolution and contrast ratio. It looks stunning in comparison to those on screens of other laptops, really high quality.
Overall for a high end laptop this is really nice. Many people enjoy the use of windows laptops but if you want something a little bit extra and easier to use, this is the one for you.
Summary: A very unique and stylish laptop
