iam typing this review from the mbp, and its the best i have owned so far. not that i had good configs earlier. the feel of aluminium is just so good. overall it feels solid. love the box it came in. its just a little bigger and than the laptop itself. (i still have it, lol) the best thing i like about it is the keyboard. it lights itself when the surrounding environment is dim. the brightness of the screen adjusts itself too.. thats an important feature as am used to working in the dark. and finally the battery, i get a good 4 to 5 hour life, varies with the kind of usage. if iam just browsing i wud get 5 and maybe upward.. overall : HIGHLY RECCOMENDED
