Presenting the world's most advanced notebook computer. MacBook Pro is built on the latest Intel mobile architecture, which features the power of two processing cores on a single chip, along with a faster frontside bus, and up to 4GB RAM capacity for incredible performance with high-end creative applications. The NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with up to 256MB of dedicated memory delivers leading-edge graphics processing. And AirPort Extreme with 802.11n provides up to five times the performance and up to two times the range of 802.11g, as well as compatibility with 802.11a/b/g networks for ultimate Wi-Fi access. Yet with all of its advances, the sleek aluminum MacBook Pro is just one inch thin. So it's a joy to handle as well as to use.

Summary: Best Notebook I've had and great change from a PC
Comment: I must say that this is an excellent notebook. It's build is solid. 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!). 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. (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. No regrets at all.

Summary: There's nothing like a Macbook Pro
Comment: Yes,these computers are expensive,but how are you going to own the most elegant,most capable non-generic computer available!There's a reason why this laptop is used on most TV commercials and print ads-its not covered with stickers or redesigned every four months in a desperate attempt to find something that might catch on.Add the aluminum case,Ilife apps and the best operating system on the planet and the price shrinks some.

Summary: First time Mac user
Comment: need more time to figure out how to function it well. And more time to change the habbit for using this guy like a PC.
No more tears after loosing files by virus attack, no more system crushes(freeze twice while I editing files on photoshop after i installed Leopard )
