First impressions This is a piece of art, not just a computer. There's nothing like lifting a new MacBook out of its box; the smell is as good as any new leather jacket. Built from a solid piece of aluminium, you will spend the first few minutes just admiring the sheer beauty of your purchase. This mac boasts the aluminium unibody, instead of being made up of lots of parts, the casing and frame is one piece of metal - glorious. Over the years, the macbook has developed in product design as well as capability. Predominantly, they used to be white, but new designs feel more fashion forward. The silver frame work compliments the beautiful black keys, that are backlit ...  Read the complete review

I bought this machine for my wife, having both a desktop and previously a MacBook it was the ideal upgrade. With the i7 processor which makes the machine fly with none of the microsoft tie down software. The 4 GB memory is apple enough to handle any graphic or video editing.

I have also found this computer to be pretty quiet, none of extractor fan noise you'll get on other machines. Battery life is ...  Read the complete review

Ahough apple released this brilliant piece of hardware in 2011, today it stills run strong with any application or game you throw at it, (apart from high end direct X games like battlefield it struggles at bit). The build design on this laptop is unique, stylish and efficient, It has smooth edges quiet fans and the keys on the keyboard light up when its dark. The multi-gesture trackpad is also a great tool and essentially lets you control your mac like it is an idevice (iphone/ipad) making viewing photos , browsing and general tasks enjoyable and less taxing. The AMD Graphics in the mac book pro are capable and get the job done, I would not recommend it for anyone ...  Read the complete review
