A solid, if predictable, upgrade to the MacBook Pro line, but noteworthy for stealing the MacBook Air's best feature--expanded gesture controls for the touch pad.

Yes, Mac has bee drowned with FULL glass (300ml) of tea (with sugar :) ). I'm NOT talking here about just a splash. Boy, tea was purring from every single whole in the case. If you wanted to do that on purpose - I doubt that you'd be able to fit so much liquid into it. First reaction:...
Read the full review →After six weeks with my new MacBook Pro I am as enthusiastic about recommending it today as I was the first week I owned it. This beast isn’t for everyone and sometimes even I (a completely butched-up Texian type guy) wish it were just a tad more portable, but if you need a laptop capable of...
Read the full review →Part of my rating stems from just how great OS X Leopard is. As someone who was anti Apple Pre iPhone who had never used an iPod I will say that OS X is much better then Windows Vista in every aspect other then playing video games which can be remedied by putting Windows 7 on my mac via bootcamp...

At 6.8 Pounds I do take it with me some places even the city. Gaming on it is great not the best obviously but unlike other...
Read the full review →Ever since I switched from my PC to my MacBook Pro for development and graphics, I have noticed that my work is getting done faster. Granted there are a few quirks that I had to adjust to from switching from a PC, but all in all, I am glad to have made the switch and enjoy doing work day-to-day...
Read the full review →I originally decided to pick up a Mac machine shortly after BootCamp was announced. My wife was a huge Mac devotee and I had some extra cash to throw around at the time, so I decided I'd pick up a notebook and throw Windows XP on it. I opted for the 17in model because I planned on using it...
