Incredible Macbook Pro August 2, 2010
Hunter (USA)
I have owned a 4 Macbook Pro's ever since they came out with the Intel machines. Before that, I had one 15" Powerbook and a 12" Powerbook so I have had a number of Apple laptops. This 17" is absolutely the best I have had so far. My last one was a 15" 2.66ghz that I only had for 2 months before my local Microcenter dropped the price on these 17" to where I was able to sell the 15" for more than it cost me to upgrade to the 17".
Big things about the 17" are the screen and the battery life. My office computer is a Mac Pro with the 23" Cinema display, so now I can set up my laptop with the same screen resolution and apps take up the same amount of screen real estate as on the desktop, only the text is a bit smaller. The illumination is perfect from corner to corner and text and pictures are extremely sharp.
The first thing I noticed when I started using this laptop was how long the battery lasts. Despite claimed life, my previous 15" Macbook Pro's never seemed to last much over 1 1/2 hours of normal use. This 17" seems to last all day, I am sure I get at least 5-6 hours of use, with both wifi and bluetooth on, and the screen at full brightness. This is the best battery life I have had out of any laptop I have owned including a number of Thinkpads that I use for my job. It is a true coast to coast battery.
Everything else about this laptop is first class. The touchpad is very responsive, although I do tend to use a mouse especially for using Adobe Illustrator and that type of program. The speakers are OK. The keyboard is great, especially now that I have switched to the newer chic-let style keyboard on my Mac Pro. The 500gb drive has loads of space, and since it is so large, being a 5400 rpm does not make it feel as slow as if it was a smaller capacity.
I have not tested the new i5/i7 versions of the MBP, but for my money, this last-generation 17" is one I will be holding on to for at least 2-3 years.
Apple Products are the BEST!!! July 8, 2010

I recently purchased an Apple MacBook Pro. What a great product. The keyboard is easy to type on and the shortcut keys make it a breeze to get things done quickly. It was very easy to transfer existing files from my Mac Pro (tower) computer to the laptop. I was up and running in no time. The back lit keyboard is nice as is the anti glare screen.
I HIGHLY recommend this product!!!! I have always had Apple computers and wouldn't want to use anything but a Mac!!!
Shopping on Amazon and comparing prices with the Mac Store, Amazon beat the price significantly!!!
It was delivered in a timely fashion!!!

All I have to say is this is a great computer and if you need service Apple is available right away unlike some other PC vendors.
What else could I ask for? April 3, 2010

I am very happy with my new MacBook Pro 17". It is fast and very sleek. I like the compact solid feeling that the unibody gives it. I recommend it!
