Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (LED)

Battery-conserving LED screen. Fast processor. Awesome graphics card. Best bundled software suite out there. Lightest 15-inch laptop on the market

Laptop heats up when running Windows XP Pro under Boot Camp. Needs more USB ports

The MacBook Pro 15-inch (LED) delivers better performance and battery life than the previous iteration, earning the MacBook Pro line yet another Editors' Choice.

Apple MacBook Pro 2007 Edition review

Editor's Note: This review primarily covers the recent updates to the Apple MacBook Pro line. For a detailed look at the design and features, read our earlier review of the Apple MacBook Pro (15.4-inch 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) .

Updated CPUs and graphics without an updated price; LED-backlit display for better battery life; 802.11n support.

Minimal configuration options; only 90 days of toll-free technical support; still no media card reader.

Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro gets a solid under-the-hood upgrade for better performance and longer battery life, allowing the MacBook Pro to put enough distance between itself and the lower-end MacBook to justify its higher price.

Apple MacBook Pro 2007 review

Apple's most desirable Macbook gains an LED backlight and a brand new processor. Does it still stand out from the PC pack?

"I only wish Apple made MBPs like this one again."

I know it is already 2012, but I really have to tip my hat to the Apple of year 2007. I have nothing much else to say, it has served me remarkably well, never given me any trouble google couldn't solve and outlived my expectations of it. I work in an...

It outlived, outlasted and outperformed every other PC laptop (5+) my family brought in since 2007.

Noisier than a squawking parrot.

Excellent Notebook

I upgraded to this from my first gen macbook, mainly because I needed more graphics capabilities (solid 3D modeling etc.). While my old macbook wasn't slow by any means, this MBP makes it seem ancient. It chews up and spits out basically anything you...

This computer is a beast. No problems at all, even while running bootcamp. I run SolidWorks 2007 on it (for my engineering classes) with Windows XP Pro, and it manhandles it. Faster than any of the workstation computers in the labs here at Cal Poly. I...

I'm still having trouble getting used to the feel of the mushy keyboard, as it is far different from the one on my old macbook

Save your money

OS X is simply not worth all the trouble. Get a cheap computer for now, and wait for Microsoft's new OS.

Sleek ; Runs OS X

Case warping: large gap between the lid and base when closed ; LED defect: yellowing on bottom of screen, backlight bleeding ; Headphone jack defect: hissing sound from jack when using headphones (even with no sound file playing) ; Low end HD: constant...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Overkill machine

The macbook is silent, has a superior latch (just magnets), a sturdier frame & shell, and relies on a much more sober logic board. Only get this "pro" model if you absolutely need the bigger screen & GPU. It appears to me as though Apple decided...

Strong NVidia GPU allows good gaming under Win XP; excellent screen; bright keyboard backlight; lots of features; smooth shape makes for easy transport; beautiful exterior & mac OS interface; ergonomic keyboard; really inspiring to work on such a...

Two grand. Inferior to Macbook except for the screen & GPU. Crashes & hangs a lot more than the white macbook I've had for a year. Can hear the fans... all these are consequences of carrying more power on the road than the laptop industries have...
