Don't have too many words for this but EXCELLENT.Got it working with dual boot using Leopard and Win XP for a long while and it's simply excellent. Now I'm using Leopard and Win 7 Beta and it still works like a charm.
I have no complaints except the hot body. The laptop gets up to 100 c while using the processor and it will burn your skin. Overall its a mac get what u paid for
My wife has been so impressed she now has a Macbook and we have a Mac mini at home. IMovie makes it just as easy take your video and edit and make really cool movies out of what you have shot on camera or camcorders.
I bought a MacBook Pro last May after using windows systems for years and years. Total frustrated by windows lack of processing simple jobs with out locking up and having to ctrl-alt-del or completely restart.
Windows Vista was the last straw so I went Mac hunting. Easy compatibility with my digital camera I did not even need to install the Kodak software iPhoto reads the pictures just fine and away we go.
The MacBook Pro was a little more than I wanted to spend, but after hours of convincing my wife I made the switch to Mac. It has been the best computer I have ever owned.It is flawless in booting up and being ready to go.
The word processing with pages works very well and there are other great free open source word processing programs for Mac like open office.From ITunes to being able to bluetooth my Cel phone and quickly get all my contacts off address book has been great. Every area of the MacBook Pro has exceeded my expectations.
My grandson likes his apple macbook pro laptop a great deal,but it would be nice to get the promised rebate.All paper work was acknowledged,but no check as yet.
I must say that this is an excellent notebook. (not too nice)- Track pad right-click doesn't seem to work well sometimes.(I hear those new large ones that work like the iphone touch screen are pretty awesome though)If you're thinking about switching from a PC to this notebook, it's really a great option. If your going to spend many hours of your day in front of a computer, you'll really appreciate the aesthetics and usability of this Mac.
I've traveled with it around the Chilean Patagonia and had no problems (be sure to have one of those nice silicon cases if it rains). Both work great with Windows and Linux (try Ubuntu).As a computer scientist I'm seeing many MANY people making the switch from PC to Mac these days. It's build is solid.
The screen is the best I've ever seen.Also, if you still need windows or Linux (you won't for the majority of apps), you can install Parallels or the excellent, and FREE, VirtualBox. I've been a PC fan for the past 20 years and used Linux as an alternate to windows in many cases. But the MacOSX is really a nice operating system.
Personally I'll be sticking to the mac for a long time.Some downsides on this mac:- Only 2 usb ports- They keys quickly get shiny in high usage places and look opaque on others. No regrets at all.Sebastian BecaComputer Engineer and Optimization Consultantwww.fenixconsulting.cl
