 ... Pro. Ok it isn't the cheapest option and I would say unless you are serious then get a regular Mac Book. They are rather heavy and the silver casing does scratch easily but it's 250GB!! The features are great and you could spend hours just messing with iMovie, iPhoto and a range of other applications. As with all macs you can encounter problems with other sites, media players etc. I recommend getting the Microsoft office for the Mac which can set you back another £100 and Windows XP (which can be loaded at the expe...more

The Apple MacBook Pro is a superb notebook and has everything you need and lots more. I had never used a Mac computer system before and had doubts about how easy I would find it to make the transition from Windows to Mac. I couldn't believe how easy it was and advise those with similar feelings not to worry about it. This top of the range notebook offers so much more freedom to the user than any other on the market. There is a slight draw back and that is the price, it will at least set you back £1200 but it is defiantly worth every penny. The model I have is Silver and has a 15.4" screen with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 200GB hard drive. The ...

They seem to provide me with a great chance to practice my already overdeveloped frustration skills and in the end I just get annoyed. And so, the tale of the Mac begins. I'm going to break this review down into sections that will help you make an informed decision before buying, hope this helps... The Specifications The model I have has a 15.4" screen with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 200GB hard drive. They're lovely numbers aren't they? ...
