Due to a faulty fan in our first test sample with a reflective display, which attracted attention particularly under load with a loud noise, we retested the system noise on our test sample

MacBook Pro 17-inch unibody review

 

There's not much that can be said about the 17-inch version of the MacBook Pro that hasn't already been said about the 15-incher (and to some extent, the MacBook). Still, the big, big brother of the family has a few key differences that make it stand...

Killer performance ; Anti-glare screen great for graphics work ; Excellent battery life

Expensive... extremely expensive ; No removable battery

I think it's a great machine and obviously overpriced due to it being a mac.

MacBook Pro 17"

 

I'm an avid Mac fan so I'm biased to begin with. I decided to buy the 17" MacBook Pro as a compromise between a laptop and fixed desktop. This computer is a bit heavy for portability on the road but great to move around the house. I just upgraded from...

My family were all pc users until my daughter asked for a MacBook Pro to replace her 4 year old Dell Laptop. I did considerable research and was very happy to get her the Mac. After seeing it in action and in view of it's versatility, I just had to...

This is the best laptop that I've purchased. The only downside I've experienced is the battery time. I get from 3-4 hours of use but not near what is advertised. Since the battery is built in, I can't take a spare with me on long trips.

This is my first time using a mac. I'm glad I switched from a PC. The initial set up was easy for connecting to a network, adding a printer and adding an external keyboard. With a PC, I always had problems. Adding IWork and ILife was extreemly easy and...

excellent buy

 

this is a very beatiful and sleek piece of machine. The screen is very clear and pictures are very defined. the lit keyboard is something else.

Great update, but needs better GPU

 

The new Apple uniibody MacBook Pros are outstanding machines and probably the very best travel companions with their sturdy build, light weight, and terrific battery life, but they still lag the PC market in pure bang for the buck. A sophisticated...
