Apple MacBook Pro MC118LL/A 15.4-Inch Laptop Reviewed by Michael J. Christensen (Elk Grove Village, IL United States)
Satisfied Rating (8/10)
After installing an update from Trend Micro and bricking my PC (which I was able to overcome after 8 + hours of repairs and modifications to the system firewall), I had enough and decided 'were made with Microsoft. I was with the MacBook Pro 15 for a little 'less than a week, and so far I am happy that I made the switch. Obviously, there's a steep premium on the MacBook Pro, so I will try to cover items that the value of the extra money, and some problems that I met for the first time Mac users.
Some advantages
+ Beautiful 15 "widescreen display. I have a 17" for PC, and since the screen was a little square, I do not think that reducing the screen size is too large
+ Much lighter than the PC. At 5.5 pounds, it is easier to similar sized PC
+ Super fast shutdown. I would say it takes between 30-40 seconds to ignite, and less than 10 seconds to stop the movement "

| Review by Kort Kramer (SOUTH FLORIDA, USA) 2010-02-10 The HP Pavilion dm3 1130us (AMD CPU & ATI GPU model) is a good compromise between the portability of a netbook and the functionality of a full sized laptop. Technically in the "Ultra-portable/Thin & Light" category, I would say it is a netbook on steroids. I was looking for a portable computing solu... Read more reviews | ||
