 ... make life so much easier! The light up keys for example are a handy idea for internet browsing in bed or working in the dark (very handy for DJs!). I chose the Macbook Pro model over the cheaper macbook white model for three reasons. The first was because there was amazing offer on at the shop I bought it from, the second was because of the aluminium body (I'm clumsy!) and the third was because this model has firewire (where-as the Macbook White model only has usb) which is important for me as a music technology s...more

I use this as my current computer and it's the best I have ever had! I am a huge Apple fan and have owned an iMac, eMac and Mac Mini before getting this. I thought it'd be very useful at university as a portable laptop. In the end it proved to be very useful and was worth buying. I'm glad I bought mine when I did as it now costs £1000 for the 13" screen version, which I have, however I'm still happy with my slightly older version's capabilities. The design of the laptop is great. A lot of people wonder why Apple's products are so expensive, but it's because so much effort goes into making them. This laptop was designed especially to have a unibody into ...  Read the complete review

*~*~*~*~{Introduction}~*~*~*~* When I was initially looking into a laptop I was first drawn to the pretty looking MacBooks. After awhile I convinced myself that I could get a pretty awesome gaming laptop for the same price. While travelling through America the ubiquitous Apple Stores always caught my eye and I would always enter. Every time the MacBook Pros would draw my gaze. After asking around friends, colleagues and people on Twitter I came to the conclusion that I should go for it. I purchased the low spec 13" MacBook Pro (2.26Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD). After owning this laptop for a month now I must say that it is the ...  Read the complete review

Another one bites the dust.... After 2 and a half (around) years my old MacBook started having issues, not reading CDs, screen only working in certain positions etc and basically, knowing Apple, I saw it would be a pricey job to fix and seeing as it was slowing down and getting more and more use I decided to cut my losses and invest in a MacBook Pro. --- Design --- The design is sleek, modern, "hip" and any other 'funky' word you want to use. The ultra thin aluminium body is a beautiful design choice in terms of finish however it does scratch easily and so I suggest spending $20 or so on a 'skin' for it from www.wrappz.com or ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Apple Macbook about six months ago and received 10% student discount as I purchased it from the Apple store. I originally owned an old Time PC and had never had a laptop before. As I am a student in a creative field I knew that Apple were the industries leaders with Adobe and wanted a laptop that would compliment these other products such as Illustrator and Photoshop. When I took my laptop home I was so excited! The graphic designers at Apple have really thought about their product and the design, right down to the minimalist box and packaging. I was shocked when I first plugged the laptop in to charge because the plug was magnetized and pulled into the ...  Read the complete review

So i decided that after starting university i needed a new laptop (mine was bust anyway) and with my first installment of my student maintenance loan safely in the bank i had some extra money. After countless hours of researching the market and whats available for when money i bought this product, the MacBook Pro The OS When i purchased the Mac it was just after the new Snow Leopard had been released and i was very pleased to know that it came as standard on all new Macs. Snow Leopard is very easy to use, slick and attractive. In my opinion it's miles better than the it's Windows 7 counterpart; Windows 7 feels clunkier and stone age compared to ...  Read the complete review
