Apple MacBook Pro MB470B/A

Apple has a problem with popular opinion considering their products as mostly 'style over substance' or 'overpriced'. This is an outdated, tired opinion that has little merit. The cost of ownership of any Apple computer is far cheaper in the long run, due to the features and what you get pre-installed. The new-shape 'unibody' MacBook Pro has the best build quality of any laptop I've encountered. It's shape, style and quality is second to none. When you take this machine out of it's bag you definitely get a reaction from those around you. It has two graphics cards, one standard one and a more powerful one suitable for gaming and more graphics ...  Read the complete review

Apple's Macbook Pro is THE most stylish laptop on the market to date combining a great design with unbeatable software and innovative features. The Macbook Pro is made from an aluminium unibody, this creates a solid chassis for the laptop and means you'll have a sturdier computer. Not only does this add a more professional look & feel to the laptop but also ensures it is less prone to damage/wear and tear. Everything is very clean cut with no loose or fiddly parts that could be damaged and overall the laptop is so much lighter than other brands. As well as the build the overall design is great making it the sexiest laptop to date. The black ...  Read the complete review

As I type away on my now on my MacBook Pro the beauty of both the design and the subtle technology inside still doesn't cease to amaze me. Although this year (just a few weeks back) the entire MacBook and MacBook Pro line were revamped, I find myself only more pleased with the purchase of this 'Late '08 Unibody' design. Apple are known for the iPod and Mac, simple, but what makes the Mac (in general) so unique is that the hardware an software are made by the same company, Apple! This allows for maximum compatibility and support, which also adds to your piece of mind that everything is as it should be. I will not list the specs, as they can be seen ...  Read the complete review

This particular laptop is one of my latest acquisitions and after using it for a month, I let a Windows Vista PC friend have a go for a few days, so this is a little bit of a different review, with my views followed by how it might possibly sway you from trying the switch. Firstly, this new MacBook Pro uses a new case, dubbed the 'uni-body' enclosure. What it basically means is that Apple have made the top casing that holds the keyboard from one piece of aluminium. This is then milled to perfection with no top seams near the edges. Compared to the previous version, it feels a lot more solid, with no flex at all. Further improvements see this version running ...  Read the complete review

In the evolution of the Macbook Pro range the latest installment is perhaps at the point of perfection. All aspects of the laptop have been carefully considered and optimised. Case: made from a single solid piece of aluminum making it extermely tough and also light. I'm told this can survive a severe drop unlike the previous models which would dent horribly. Screen: yes it's glossy but once you're using it with the brightness turned up you would hardly notice. And boy is it bright - I compare it to the Cinema Display I have mine plugged into and that looks positively dull in comparison. What I'm hoping is this can be used outdoors in the ...  Read the complete review
