Macintosh MacBook Pro 15" Review

The MacBook Pro 15.4" inch is a computer that stands the test of time.  With additional ram up to its 3 gigabyte capacity it does everyhting a desktop can do and more.  You get the famous and worthwhile Mac software which includes iLife, a set of applications that permits the user to work right out of the box.  All Mac progrmas work seemlessly.  Of course, if you must use Windows that is possible as well, but it begs the question as to why.  The screen is bright and responsive and the backlighting on the keyboard beats anything that a PC can hope to imitate.  It will take some getting used to if you have only used a Windows based machine--think at least one week.  After that time you will wonder why you ever used a PC.  The only problem is that, despite what the people at Apple will tell you, there is not a great deat of non-techinical programs for the Mac.  Sure, there are the usual suspects such as Work, Office, Photoshop and Apple's equivalents, but many other programs must be obtained through download sites, which are hit an miss.

The only major problem with the MacBook Pro seems to be battery life, which has been arguably corrected in the unibody version of the laptop.  All in all, the MacBook Pro makes using a computer fun and logical and you will not be tempted to throw it out of a windowwaiting for the blue screen of death to go away.
