By M. Smith
This particular MBP is excellent. I use a Quadcore PC for graphic intensive work and picked up one of these to help with development work - webpages and research. This laptop blows away my Windows Quadcore, totally! It is so speedy. Startup in about 30 seconds, shutdown in 2-4 seconds, resume from sleep in 0-2 seconds. Applications open in seconds and there are no lags, hiccups or awkward moments when you wonder whether your computer is out for tea. OS X is solid with lots of innovations such as quicklook which save heaps of time. PDF files can be viewed instantly. Images can be multi-selected and viewed swiftly or in slideshow mode. Wonderful zooming. With Windows laptops a wireless mouse is an absolute must. I bought a Logitech desktop set in anticipation for using with the MBP, but I use the touchpad 90% of the time. It's so useable and responsive. The screen is gorgeous - yummy good. I like how the Mac OS is so simple and easy to use, plus there are some really good freeware apps to improve things.Here are a few.PathFinder - not free - tabbed Finder with dual panels. A Must!iGetThingsDone - Task organiserNeoOffice - completely free office suiteOpera Browser - although I use Safari 95% of the time, I do use Opera to grab html and image elements from websitesCarbon Copy Cloner - backup utilClamXAV - antivirusBurn - backup and write DVD's / CD'sFilezilla - FTP / uploading filesGrabberWindow - essential - takes screenshotsInkscape - vector appJalbum - create online photo albumsJumpcut - souped up clipboardJournler - excellent for note takingMacSword - Bible browser / studyMindnode Pro - Mindmapping. Not free - buy the pro version has lots of plusses over the free versionffmpegx - convert videosName Mangler - batch file renamerQumana - remote offline bloggingSeashore - image editing like photoshopSidenote - desktop note reminder - unobtrusive and handyunRarX - unzipper - recommendedVLC - movie playerVox - music playerVMFusion - not free but affordable - run Windows without leaving OS XThere's no reason to buy a Windows laptop when Macs are this good.Can't recommend this one enough. In terms of heat, I use my own workaround just in case even though I haven't noticed it get hot at all. I chopped up an eraser into 1 cm segments and have placed one at each corner. This 1 cm gap ensures the laptop keeps cool, plus the rubber eraser won't let the laptop slip from side to side. I was going to buy a Rain MBP stand but the erasers seem to do the trick.I don't play games on my MBP. Laptops, be they Windows or Apples, are not made for playing graphics intensive games. Slim bodies aren't able to cope. Eventually the heat will destroy the internal components. I have been tempted to play Grid on my MBP but just to see the stunning level of detail obtainable. I will leave on Grid just to demo for 5 minutes every 6 months or so. But the sensible rule is No intensive games.Older games should be ok. But it doesn't make sense to spend so much money on such a machine and then waste it on games.My only gripe is that MBP's should come with video adapters included in the box, or a coupon so buyers can pick them up free from a local istore.

The MacBook expensive, no HDMI, could use two more usb outlets, but using it is another story. It just kicks butt!!!! Fast, beautiful graphics, and high-octane preformance. Set-up was easy, and the it sort of grows on you because of the ease of operation. And mind you, this is from someone who until recently never used a Mac at all. I still use a PC ( I also have a Samsung N-150 Netbook), but I find myself using the Mac more often. If you can afford it, GET IT.PS: Get the AppleCare Protection Plan if you can.
