Apple neither not call it a Apple Laptop/Notebook nor Apple Netbook. This is Apple Macbook Pro. Macbook Pro is the most amazing member of its family yet. With its sleek looks and ultra powerful functions, New Apple Macbook Pro is here to stay.
Apple has designed Macbook Pro with Aluminuim body which gives it a glossy finishing and weighs just about 5.5 punds. It is the first time that company is promoting a 13 inch unibody in its MacBook family.
Its looks are undoubtedly breathtaking and technically is it equally sound. In fact very sound. Macbook Pro is powered by X Leopard Operating System supported by Intel core 2 duo Processor.
Below are the specifications of amazing Apple Macbook Pro:
- Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 2.26 Ghz processing speed.
- Powered by X Leopard v 10.5.7 Operating System.
- 4 GB RAM
- 250GB/320GB HDD
- 15.4 inch LED screen with 16:9 aspect ratio
- NVIDIA GeForce 9500M graphics processor
- Built-in Bluetooth 2.1
With Macbook Pro, Apple has targeted the users who look for sleek and gorgeous design accompanied with monster performance. This beautiful beast is expected to have a price of $1299.
I drank the cool aid and bought a 17″ MB Pro for over $3300. I hate it. The leading edge where you rest your arms is sharp and uncomfortable. The high resolution for viewing my photos is excellent, but the fonts for most system level info is less than 4pt and unreadable. Apple has no solution other than change the resolution which then leaves you with blurry fonts (this is not the preferences issue) and the darned thing doesn’t scale most of my web site choices.
I am constantly having to resize. This is a very poor choice for anyone doing much email, word processing or web browsing. Great for managing and viewing pictures…but then, so is my high res monitor on my PC tower. I’d sell mine in a New York minute if I thought I could recover most of my money. The battery life, in normal usage is about three hours, tops.
I’m pretty much stunned by what the other commentator has revealed about his Mac Book Pro experience, I never thought it to be that bad.
I just bought my first Apple, a Macbook Pro (13″). Nice piece of artwork. But I’m shocked as well by the catastrophic font display and apparent lack of adjustment options (yes, seen the font smoothing option but the result’s a joke with or without). I’ve read many posts on how apple’s rendering is different from Windows, how exactly they manage to put so much thought into creating such a laughable result, and how people prefer one or the other. But this seems just plain wrong — I can’t believe that there’s so many people out there who, out of pure love for original font geometry (or Apple), are willing to sacrifice readability/usability.
In combination with the other disappointments…
– no easy window maximise/minimise, maximisation only via green button that maximises to the layout Apple considers best (I’d often prefer full screen, particularly on 13″).
– very inefficient handling of screen real estate. Lots of permanently displayed info / top menu rows etc that you really don’t need most of the time and that cut down usable screen area. Maybe I just haven’t found it yet, but I don’t see an easy way to switch to full screen. That means you end up using the mouse & moving/changing windows all the time.
– sharp front edge on the unibody… that’s very uncomfortable after a short while. Somewhere else I read that for Apple, clearly function follows form. Spot on.
Bottom line: I feel mislead by an incredible amount of (unjustified) enthusiasm of the Apple fans around me. Next time I need to satisfy an esthetic urge, I’ll rather buy a new watch. Going Apple isn’t the right reaction if you’re p****d off with Microsoft.
IF thinks work that way on Windows, it doesn’t necessarily work that way on a Mac just because your used to that on Windows.
I recently swapped to Mac last Christmas and have had no problems whatsoever (except the heat) which I was able to fix for 10 USD via CoolBook.
You are definately happy with your post as it’s best to be. It is rather effectively delivered. appreciation for the time you put into this. I will dig and attempt to find some complimenting details to add. Thanks again.
Apple shipped more than a million units of the new MacBook Air in its first quarter of availability.
