From the Manufacturer

MacBook Pro is built on the revolutionary Intel Core 2 Duo — which packs the power of two processor cores (up to 2.33GHz) inside a single chip. It provides 4MB of Smart Cache, L2 cache that can be shared between the cores as needed. It delivers higher performance in 2D and 3D graphics, video editing, and music encoding.

But the new engine is only part of the story. Ultimate speed, performance, and connectivity. To go.

That’s MacBook Pro. MacBook Pro delivers the Front Row media experience, making it easy (and rather spectacular) to showcase your latest creations. Packs power, not pounds What makes MacBook Pro so mobile? Performance in a portable package.

MacBook Pros are amongst the thinnest, lightest notebooks in their display class. These computers feature parts engineered to squeeze out every last joule of performance with meticulous placement for minimal size. The result? Ultra performance in a thin, light package.

In addition to superior design, MacBook Pro features a large scrolling trackpad for maximum control and a sudden motion sensor that parks the hard drive head during sudden changes in orientation. Throw in a backlit keyboard with an ambient light sensor and digital sound for music and movies, and you've got a portable workstation/entertainment machine that belongs on business trips and vacations. Taking pictures of yourself on the road has never been more fun.

Add a special image effect and save the image as your iChat buddy picture, email to your friends, put in your iPhoto library, or post to your iWeb photo blog. iSight to behold Sit down. Click someone’s iChat icon.

Video conference from anywhere in the world. Though you can barely see it, there’s an iSight camera built into the thin bezel just above the display. So now you can conference with associates during the day and chat with the kids at night.

iChat AV lets you video chat with up to three other people simultaneously. And when you go head to head, you’ll see your colleagues clearly, at VGA resolution. Moving Performance The MacBook Pro sports a killer, high-resolution widescreen display up to 17 inches big, and it's ready for more than Web surfing and word processing.

Why? Well, check out the not-so-subtle ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with up to 256MB of dedicated graphics memory. Designed for high-performance portables, this graphics powerhouse packs more punch into a much smaller space. The X1600 can push data through 12 pixel shader pipelines and five vertex processors on the 16-lane PCI Express bus interface.

Enjoy sharp videos and photos, smooth video playback, astonishing effects, and vibrant colors — as well as texture-rich 3D performance in next-generation games. Road Show Whether you’re at the client’s office, on location, or back at your hotel room, just use the Apple Remote to control your videos, music, movies, and more. Front Row lets you quickly navigate through your work and play from anywhere in the room.

You can even use the Apple Remote to navigate through Keynote presentations. MacBook Pros are also road ready with: MagSafe Airline Adapter: Out of power in flight? Plug your MacBook Pro into the optional MagSafe Airline Adapter and get back to work (or play). AirPort Express: MacBook Pro offers built-in wireless capability, and you can create your own wireless network with an AirPort Express.

Built-in Bluetooth: Connect wirelessly to Bluetooth-enabled peripherals or connect to the Internet via your mobile phone. On display: Extend your desktop by connecting your MacBook Pro to a larger display or an HDTV via the DVI port or an optional video adapter. The MagSafe Power Adapter is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one.

So tripping over a power cord won't send your shiny new MacBook flying off a table or desk; the cord simply breaks cleanly away, without damage to either the cord or the system. As an added nicety, this means less wear on the connectors. Included Software Mac OS X v.10.4 Tiger (includes Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat AV, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal, DVD Player, Xcode Developer Tools), iLife '06 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand), Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive, a 30-day trial of iWork '06, Comic Life, FileMaker Pro Trial, OmniOutliner, Photo Booth, and Front Row..

Amazon Review A great buy!

Author's Rating:   5

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.

Amazon Review The best portable on the market

Author's Rating:   5

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.

Author's Rating:   5

Pros:  Great design and performance, intuitive OS, generous applications, support for Windows games!

Cons:  Expensive. Expect to pay for quality, but it is worth it!

The Bottom Line:  Apple combines a great OS with well designed hardware for a winning combination. Since I moved to a Mac, using a computer is fun again.

Review:  For years and years I have wanted to make the switch to Mac, but it was never the right time. Almost one year ago I was about to take the plunge, however I heard that a switch to Intel CPUs was around the corner, so I decided to postpone my switch...  Read Full Review  by Eutek, Oct 18, 2006
