First Mac

I've had this laptop about a month and I have to say that there is nothing about it that doesn't impress me. As many feel, I basically wonder why I waited so long to make the switch. The learning curve was virtually painless. Couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.

mac>pc

I had a dell inspiron (windows xp) for the last four years or so. I had used the family pc before that. My laptop was good at first. After about a year though it got a virus which caused me to lose everything and then have to start the computer from scratch. This happened two more times within the next two years. It was completely annoying. The computer itself was bulky and would get really hot. I had to replace the battery a few times and the actual computer rarely lasted for more than an hour without being plugged into the wall. I had had enough so when considering a laptop for college I looked up macbooks. I went to the apple store learned a bit about it and decided to buy the 13inch macbook pro. I cold not be more happy. The computer is small and light. The design is sleek and the computer doesn't get really hot. I like how the applications are set up because it feels less cluttered. Also, they're easy to use and if I don't understand how to use something apple has plenty of tools to help me understand. I can charge the computer and then it will last for two days without me needing to charge it again. What's even better is that the battery isn't being used if you are not using the computer. The computer runs beautifully and overall I am really happy with the purchase. I am definitely never going back to a pc!

My First Mac Ever!! Love It!!!

I've been a PC guy forever but I needed to buy a Mac specifically for college and boy am I impressed!! I will remain a PC person because I love building computers from scratch and use them for gaming, web browsing and for other light programs but for my college required programs such as Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5, Etc. I will NOT use anything else but a Mac! I just runs everything alot smoother.

APPLE ROCKS BUT UPS MADE IT ROTTEN!!!!

I received a call on 8/27 at 806 am that I was to stay home and wait till 7 pm for my new Macbook to be delivered....at 645 pm the Amazon order screen read that it was NOT coming as UPS screwed up and sent it to Ontario at 454 PM today instead of arriving at the Palm Springs facility. I am now expected (in this economy) to stay home ANOTHER entire day to be able to sign for my beloved Macbook Pro this Monday. The UPS $35 an hour teamsters have now cost me $500 to stay home and have to reschedule two days business! THANK YOU UPS for taking nearly HALF the cost of my computer for YOUR screw up. Not to mention the countless items I have had to return to Amazon because UPS breaks them!!! UPS is NOT cost effective to anyone. Amazon was kind enough to give me a small token of sorrow a $10 gift card. My advice ~ see if you can get it shipped another way so you are not one of the UNLUCKY ones unlike a few here with NO issue on delivery. Can you tell I am a little PEEVED about this!

In regards to the MacBook Pro ~ You will NEVER want another computer again (this is my second)! They are the cream of the crop for a reason ~ they WORK!

Apple Macbook does it again!

I have the previous model of the Macbook Pro 13" model and I wish I would have waited four months to get this upgraded model. Nonetheless the MBP is a great product.

Although it is one of the lower end models of the MBP family, it is really powerful. I was really impressed when I was able to manage software such as Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, and/or After Effects well. I've had the laptop for eight months and I do not notice a decline in quality in the product.

I take my laptop everywhere with me. Sometimes I feel that I should treat it better, but the laptop itself is really sturdy. Although the price of the MBP is high compared to other laptops in the market, I feel that spending the extra cash is well worth it. Apple has great customer service, I have friends that have had their old Macbooks for years, and Snow Leopard and all its components, i.e. iLife, are great in compare to Win7.

The MBP is an investment. I believe in quality over quantity and this product represents that.
