Am I ever glad I purchased this Macbook Pro from the Macbook Pro series. I was pretty well pleased, right off the bat. My main input is the speed of this baby & the Core 2 Duo makes everything run efficiently. no crashes. Beautiful display, a cinch to use and runs all good Multimedia programs well. You may have to upgrade to a 200GB drive. The only problem I would flaw with consideration of the higher Mac price is battery life.. it does lag a tiny bit. Other than that it uses energy efficiently, is great, and runs that wonderous Leopard OS amazing.

I've owned 11 Macs over the last 7 years, most of which I bought for family members. 4 of them have been my primary computers. During this time I've also used several Windows based PCs, as I work in a Windows only business. It is great to have a Mac that also does the work stuff. I haven't yet been able to find anything I don't like about this notebook, which is something I cannot say for any other computer I've ever owned (Mac included). Here are the biggest pluses I can think of at the moment: -Beautiful 17" widescreen with a resolution that is perfect for the size -Leopard OS is simply beautiful and the easiest OS to use in the universe -Plenty of Hard Drive space -Plenty of RAM -Fast processor, good video card -802.11a/b/g/n -HUGE trackpad (great for photo editing or network engineering layouts) -Backlit keyboard makes typing in the dark a pleasure -Less than one inch thin -iSight built-in is perfect for my travels ... I can always see my wife and son (my wife has a MBP 15") -Office 2008 is every bit as good as Office 2007 for Windows -Spotlight, spotlight, spotlight! If you don't know what this is, Google it! :) -Expose -iWork 08 is nearly a replacement for Office 2008 -Scrolling built-in to trackpad That's about it for now. I hope this has been helpful. This is the most perfect notebook I've used to date.
