 Love it! September 20, 2008
Gerald L. Riddle
Absolutely love this thing! Quality and performance are outstanding. Super easy to use and setup. Applications perform smoothly and without the typical Windows 'lockups, crashes and slow shutdowns' many of us have had to endure for years.
I use VMware's Fusion with 4GB RAM as I still need to use several Windows based applications. Performance of the Virtual Machines is smooth and very robust...the additional RAM is really a requirement if you are running Virtual Machines.
I wasn't expecting this great performance September 19, 2008

 Tough conversion September 18, 2008

While I'm enjoying the speed and other capabilities of the MacBook Pro, converting from a pc was not a joyful experience. After a month and a half, I'm still frustrated with some of the nuances of the change. There are printer compatibility issues, for example, and iTunes ratings and playcount data did not transfer over from my pc. Navigating pages is also slightly different, and after years of doing things the pc way, old habits are dying hard. I was also led to believe that the Mac never crashes, which is a myth. They are less frequent than on the pc, but they still do happen. I guess, at the moment, I'm planning to be ecstatically happy about this purchase, but I'm not there yet.
 A great product..........if you can afford September 17, 2008

It is a great laptop if you can afford it. The price, to my belief, is still ridiculous high. I spent 1768 in total after the rebate and it is already considered as a great deal.
If you do alot of film/photo/music editing, this is da choice for you. If you are a pc geek who always do P2P freebies, programming and stuff then mac might not be a good choice for you.
The touch pad is a great innovation which that you cannot elsewhere. The new LED screen is also fabulous. The build is solid and metallic look is another plus.
Weight-wise it is heavy but not that heavy for a 15.4" laptop. Heat problem is still there, one should down load a fan controller software always.
4/5
Everyone should own it... September 15, 2008
G. Powers (Saint Louis, MO)
This is not just an appliance computer, as some Windows fanboys would have you believe. I work with computers for a living, which means everything from RHEL file servers, to Windows Citrix servers, and everything in between. The nicest part about the Macbook Pro is the fact that this machine can either be just an email appliance for your wife or mother-in-law, or a serious Unix machine and professional workstation (read: command line tools, development, audio production, multimedia production such as photoshop, etc.).
Both my wife and I bought identical machines (Macbook Pro, 15" matte screen, 2.4 Ghz Processor, 2 GB RAM, 200GB HD, etc...), and we both absolutely love these machines!
Besides the fact that they are just amazing to use on a daily basis, the fit and finish is beyond compare (IMHO) to any other laptop on the market (aluminum case, great lcd, decent video card...although beware to NVIDIA GPU CUDA developers, the 8600 mobile chipset isn't the best...still decent, but there are better for strict GPU computation)
As with anything, there are cons to this machine....first and foremost, it runs HOTTTTTT! The case is aluminum, and therefore conducts heat amazingly well. When running vmware inside the Mac OSx, the computer will become incredibly hot. Second thing that I personally find rather disappointing is the web based multimedia capabilities out of the box...quicktime just isn't up to par with Windows Media Player. And finally, the lack of support for mainstream games can be a little annoying, but running windows xp under bootcamp usually solves this issuee...although, I don't like that I have to boot into another OS to play games.
Anyway, overall, I would say that everyone should seriously consider owning this machine. The price is a bit high for most people, but I can honestly say that I would have happily paid another $500 for this machine, as I believe that you get what you pay for, and Apple has done a great job when engineering the MacBook Pro.
