Apple MacBook Pro MB166B/A

I was given my MacBook Pro 17" a few months ago, when it was around eight months old. I've been a "PC Person" for about 15 years, and have always dismissed Macs. However, I'm now a (partial!) convert. The quality and feel of this laptop is absolutely stunning. I spent £15 on ebay and painstakingly stuck protective stickers on every key, the trackpad and surrounding areas, the base, the battery and the lid! I don't just consider my Mac to be a computer - it's more a proper possession and I'm certainly treating mine like a piece of art!! Being a PC user, I'm used to slow startup and shutdown times. This Mac has blown me away ...  Read the complete review

As fond as I was of my old Toshiba, once I'd experienced the ease of using a Macbook Pro, I was hooked. First off, the design of the thing gets you hooked. It's so sleek and elegant - there's nothing cheap about it. The aluminium cover, rounded edges, integrated speakers and hard-wearing sliver plastic keys all carry the hallmark of Apple's devotion to quality design without compromise.

The Apple Mocbook Pro is an impressive machine - mine has been going strong for overt 2 years now and is running as smoothly as the day I first laid eyes on it, and what a beautiful sight it is to behold!

Once you have experienced the joy of a fast, non-buggy, "system 32 error"-free Apple machine you will never go back, trust me!

The most powerful laptop money can buy. Simply amazing. This thing can out power most peoples' desktop machines and yet it is very portable. The 17" TFT screen is fantastic, great for watching DVDs and TV shows. Not to mention Apple's new operating system, OS X 10.5 or better known as Leopard. Leopard make using your Mac even easier than before, and with some very cool new features, such as Time Machine. The 250GB hard drive is more than enough space for all your files and can be increased if necessary. If you've never used a Mac before then you are missing out. Makes windows look rubbish, which it is. Of course it comes standard with all the great programs, such ...  Read the complete review
