All I have to say is wow, what a machine. I use this thing every day and loving every minute of it. This is my first Mac and like they say I will never go back. It just works. I was torn between the 13 and 15 inch models and ended up deciding on the 13 inch due to its portability. I run a small online business and take my computer everywhere I go. It is so thin and light that I sometimes forget I have it with me. The screen size is great. I have all the real estate I need with my 13" MBP. The one thing that I am most impressed on is Mac Mail. I know, of all things that came with my laptop, I single out Mac Mail! The e-mail system works great and I have experienced no hang ups whatsoever. If receiving e-mails is an important part of your daily life then give Mac Mail a try! It wont dissappoint. Anyway, getting back to the MBP, yeah it is truly awesome. A little getting used to at first, but once you have the basics down, the rest is a breeze. Thanks.

I'm new to Apple. My first impression is that it's fast and easy to use. Once I learn the Apple procedures I think it will be great. Using skype, the picture is the best I've seen, more so than on PCs. The bottom gets a little hot after a while. I don't think there is a fan like on other laptops.

It's an Apple with Amazon pricing and service. The 13" MacBook Pro is a definite winner!

I purchased this and an Asus 13.3 inch u30jc at the same time. The Asus was $879. I did keep the Apple and return the Asus as the Asus screen had a lot of glare for my tastes; occasionally videos looked too dark to enjoy on the Asus. They are similar machines except that the Asus includes Optimus with 512mg of video memory and a discrete video card. It also has an i3-350 vs. the Apple's 2.4 core duo. The Apple is better built.

The good: The Apple is well built and has an excellent screen for a laptop. Good battery life. The genius bar is two miles away and bulletin boards with many Mac users are only a few clicks away. Snow Leopard is relatively easy to learn and one has excellent customer service for 90 days.

The problems: some software is not written for Mac or has a subpar version for Mac. Think of games or playing chess online.

Worse, the 2.4 core duo does not belong on a $1,199 machine. Many $899 machines now have i5s this summer. (Apple can't put a i5 on its low end pro model or even an i3 as it would then butt heads with the $1,799 15 inch macbookpro.) These same machines also typically offer 500gig hard drives that run at 7,200. Some have discrete graphics. (Few have battery life to compare with that of this machine, but the aforementioned Asus u30jc with an i3 does.) Customer service is good but only 90 days unless one springs for Apple Care, making the price even more unreasonable.

I could deal with a premium price if the machine had a 3.06 core duo or a low level i3. And a discrete graphics card with, say, 512mg of VRAM.


Soon, someone is going to come up with a machine that has the build quality of the macbookpro and superb customer service. The machine will then be over-priced and somewhat obsolete by all measures.

Excellent machine but Apple need not be so greedy.

BMW's are overpriced. My 335i, which I lease, is not worth the price even though I used to track them. It does, however, have 300hp. The Apple is more akin to a 4 cylinder Accord. Well built and popular, but only reasonably powered.

Before this, I had the previous model of the white plastic Macbooks. I loved that computer, but the plastic was starting to show signs of wear after only a year and a half of use, so it was time to upgrade to an aluminum unibody MBP. I love this computer. OSX is such an easy to use operating system. I actually found when I switched from Windows to OSX, some tasks I would try to make harder than they were simply because I was used to Windows. When you hear people say that once they made the switch, they'd never go back, believe them.

But, of course there are some gripes, although few. My biggest complaint is two fold: no hdmi ports, no BluRay support. Those two are really killers. Don't get me wrong, it's easy enough to get the necessary cables to hook the computer up to your HDTV, but it would be much easier with an HDMI. It really seems silly that a laptop this nice and this powerful doesn't have HD capabilities. BUT, I'm sure that those two things are PROBABLY coming in the next refresh, which will mean I'll likely have to upgrade again in a year or so, but I can deal with that. My only other gripe is with the display. The glass display is much more vibrant and lively than the old LCD's, but here is a significant amount of glare on the screen. Forget about using it in the sun at all.

Lastly, a couple of tips. The "10 hour battery life" is a lie. No way does this thing get ten hours. BUT, if you turn off the backlit keyboard and turn the screen brightness down to 50%, you can easily get 5-7 hours of operation. I think for most folks that will get the job done. Also, learn to love the trackpad. I think that's the thing I like the most about the computer. The trackpad is HUGE, and the multitouch capabilities are so awesome, I don't even use my portable USB mouse anymore. To me, the trackpad is much better than any mouse I've ever used.
