 Macbook Pro 13"..2.53GHz/4GB/250GB March 14, 2010

Yes I can highly reccommend this laptop...its my first foray into "macdom"and I`m more than happy with my choice.Although I`ve only had this machine less than a week,after having used a PC for many years,my transition to a mac has been pretty much seamless.
The Snow Leopard OS is not that much different from XP Pro which i`ve used (and will still do on occasion)The machine itself is a beauty...turning on,registering and using took less than 20 mins but it took another 30 mins or so to set up my mac to access my msn email accounts(my fault for being a dork!)With there being 4GB of ram,the mac is very nippy with any program and multitasking is a doddle.There`s plenty of help built in if you need it and everything is very well thought out..some lovely touches like the magnetic power connection,SD card reader,no tray dvd/cd slot,long battery life(yes it really is LONG life!)..the screen is very clear and certainly large enough for me..I think the next model up would have been too big...I`ve even been able to buy the Applecare Warranty online for less than 100gbp...so impressed have I been that I`m thinking about changing my desktop to a mac in the near future!Well Done Apple!!
 Not sure better that PC for the money February 23, 2010

First of all Amazon gets 5 stars for price and delivery. Much cheaper that the Apple Store and I have even seen refurbs for more that what I paid for a new one from Amazon.
I am not so sure about the Macbook Pro. Over £1000 is a lot of money for a notebook especially when the screen is only 13.3 inches. I am having to lean forward to type this as the font is so small. I paid £999 for an HP computer 4 years ago for my wife and a similar price for a Samsung 15 inch notebook for myself. Now you can get a pretty good notebook for half this or less. Apple still charge the higher price.
I have been an IT professional for over 30 years and have been forced to work on PCs as that is what all the big companies use. Like so many people I am trying to get away from the big MS. The thing about Windows is that the software has to operate on many makes of machine. Apple on the other hand make both the machine and the software so the fit should be better. I cant understand my MS do not make their own machines.
Anyway, getting back to the Macbook.
Good points.
Can run run Windows using the Bootcamp function. Can use the machine just with Windows if you wanted.I seem to spend a lot of time on the Windows 7 partition
Graphics are spot on
Track pad very clever with multi touch functions
Connected to my wireless network and printers in an instant
Not a PC
Bad points
13.3 inches is too small but the 15 inches costs a hell of a lot more. Im sure I will get used to it or get stronger glasses.
Apple Software like iWork is very poor in my opinion especially NUMBERS the spreadsheet application, sorry, app. Far better to use MS Office on the Windows partition or, better still, use the very good and very free OpenOffice. iWork seems to be very clunky, not very clever and is very infuriating at times. When you first open an Excel Spreadsheet it tells you all the functions it cannot support and has removed. Not very inspiring. Dont buy iWork until you have tried OpenOffice first. The PAGES app (WORD) uses an american dictionary for the spell checker. I am still trying to turn it off. You could always use Apples own Office Suite but that is mega bucks.
Email setup is not as clever as Apple claim. The setup was unable to find the correct servers for my Yahoo accounts. I had to manually correct the settings. I thought Yahoo was fairly common
I dont like Safari as a Web Browser. Luckily Opera runs on the Mac and is much better in my opinion.
Limited software compared to Windows although many printers etc come with both Windows and Mac drivers
Tricky just opening the lid. No catch so you have to grip the thing and prise the two parts apart. Silly
No dedicated Delete key and the @ key is in the US position (Shift 2)
Pretty heavy for aluminium
Screen brightness difficult to adjust from the auto setting. Very dim compared to my oldish HP.
I am unable to change to size of the mouse. Very difficult to see on this screen
No keyboard shortcuts.
Overview
I will continue with the Mac but unless you are a lottery winner, banker or Stephen Fry I am not convinced the Apple is worth the extra cash.
I was going to buy the wireless keyboard so I could sit back and type but not much point as I wouldnt be able to see the screen. This is probably why Apple are trying to get me to buy a separate monitor. More expense
This is all just my own opinion. You may find the Mac perfect for you. I wish you luck

I finally gave up on PCs after my Sony laptop broke just over a year after I bought it. As somebody else said, with Windows Vista it just kept not responding and crashing and when the internet connection became more than random (nothing wrong with my actually internet!) I snapped and bought this little beauty. I was a little apprehensive about getting used to it but had absolutely no problems with it. It was dead simple to set up, thanks to Office Mac I had no problems transferring any of my documents and its super fast.
I also like the fact that you don't need to bother with all the anti virus stuff, scanning, defragmenting... and everything else that you have to keep doing with a PC to keep it at least a bit functional. All your downloads go to just one place and stay there until you decide to clear the folder; on my PC I could never ever find where my stuff went as it seemed to decided rather randomly where to send files.
The only small problem I would point out is that the two USB ports are too close together and if you have to use them both at the same time you need an adapter. But on the scale of things, this is really minor.

This really is a superb machine and what makes it so good is the combination of brilliantly-engineered and aesthetic hardware with a world-leading operating system. It is because of this dual hardware/software aspect that no other manufacturer comes close in terms of overall quality of product. Yes, it's a bit pricey but if you want this level of quality, you have to pay a bit more for it.
