   Summary: Just not worth all that money
I used to be a Mac person, and then I converted over to PC. Because of husband pressure and advice from the Geek Squad, I ended up buying this MacBookPro, which I've been using for several weeks.

First off I do not like the silver plastic of this case. It feels cheap, and the computer runs so hot that I have to put a magazine under it to balance it on my lap. It really, really runs hot. I also don't like the old-fashioned matte screen, having been spoiled by my Acer's slick sharp screen. The screen is also smallish--although the diagonal measure is true, the depth of the screen is less than my other computers.

The model ships with BootCamp, which works great, although you will have to purchase Windows VISTA separately if you're going that way. I have partitioned my hard drive 50/50 Mac/PC and am experiencing no problems. I use the machine as a PC except for iPod and photos. Apple also provided decent in-computer speakers, thank heavens, so you can play videos without using supplementary speakers.

The keyboard is backlit in low light settings (you can turn this feature off). This is rather nice, but it doesn't make up for the touch of the keyboard, which doesn't feel all that great to me.

Now is this machine were 1/2 the price, things would be different. But at this price point, I really am looking for something that is a bit more perfect.

   Summary: Once you go Mac, you will never go back :)
Macs are an awesome product. They just simply work and you are not plagued with Blue Screens of Death, computer freezing, vague computer errors and the need to reboot all the time. Yes Macs cost more, but they do because they work and they are worth every single penny. I will NEVER go back to PC (Piece of Crap)! :)

   Summary: I am So VERY disappointed
I decided to step up my game and damage my pocket and purchase an Apple laptop and software. This is because people said this was the ideal if doing video production (and that is my dream). Since getting the thing and installing the software I have had problems. My imovie would not work...i kept having to force quit the programme...i took the laptop software etc to the Apple dealer in the Country and they reinstalled and charged me for this...took the laptop home and now the iphoto keeps hanging up. It seems i would have been better of not going the Apple route as I am yet to get ANY value for the money I paid.

   Summary: Nice MAC!
What can I say...it's a MAC. There is nothing left to say! Best PC on the planet and you get such wonderful stuff with it. Yes, a little pricey but I would take this over a PC any day of the week or year! It is a solid performer and can always count on it not to crash like the PC's always do. So, I guess it is like to ole' saying..."You get what you pay for!"

   Summary: Great but bummed about burn out pixel on lcd screen
I love my macbook pro except for the fact that I paid a ton of money for a new product that had a burn out pixel on the lcd screen. According to Amazon, they won't accept a return if only one pixel is burnt out. Nice how they don't tell you that up front. I paid for a fully functioning product, not one that has a defect no matter how small it is to them.

Apple products are well designed but not durable or of high quality materials. Reminds me of when I dropped my ipod from 2ft off the ground and it ceased to function.
