Apple Macbook Pro

 

The Macbook Pro from Apple is barely a year old and has already gotten a platform upgrade. It is now available on the Core2duo platform which was recently unveiled by Intel. Has the platform jump made much a difference? Read on to find out…. � The...

Conclusion In conclusion we've only got this to say - The Macbook Pro with OSX is in a different league. It is more secure than Windows, offers a better multimedia experience and priced at Rs. 1,18,000, it simply leaves the Windows powered competition...

Apple MacBook Pro Review (Late 2008 Model)

 

Out of the MacBook Pro's myriad new features, the most radical change is the build and manufacturing process. Apple now machines every aluminim notebook casing out of a solid "brick" of aluminum, thereby reducing weight and size of components, but...

Elegant, sturdy, environmentally sound design ; Compact size and weight ; More user accessible components ; Very capable gaming performance

Expensive ; Lower specced than cheaper models from Dell, Sager, Lenovo ; Skimpy on accessories ; Few ports ; No matte screen option

One of the biggest and most welcome changes we noticed is how the new MacBook Pro handles heat dispersion. From our time testing older MacBook Pros, MacBooks and PowerBooks, they all become uncomfortably hot even during simple productivity use. After...

For people who appreciate finer laptop accoutrements such as a backlit keyboard and a slot-fed DVD drive, Apple has crafted another tasty offering in the form of the 17-inch MacBook Pro. Sleek, powerful, and able to run Windows as well as the Mac...

Thin and light for a big notebook

Hard drive isn't user-accessible

Correction: The MacBook Pro's reign as fastest notebook ended on 10/25/2007, not 11/23/2007 as was previously reported. We apologize for the error

Apple MacBook Pro

 

Apple's upgraded high-end notebook offers a faster processor and double the RAM, but how does that translate into real-world performance?

Elegant design • Double the RAM of previous version • Includes remote and built-in camera • Excellent software bundle

New Core 2 Duo processor not dramatically faster • Mediocre wireless strength • Short warranty for price

Apple recently updated it's range of MacBook Pro's, as well as the base model MacBook. The 15 inch and 17 inch MacBook Pro's had the most significant upgrades to Intel's new Core i5 and i7 Processors.

The new 15 inch MacBook Pro that we tested is a significant improvement over the 2009 model, the new Intel Core i5 and i7 processor are a serious upgrade to the previous processors, add that to the new improved graphics and increased battery life and...

On its website Apple claims ‘everything in the 17-inch MacBook Pro is huge. Except its size and weight'. Is there substance to the company's claims?

A powerful desktop replacement machine that offers road-warrior characteristics in the form of long battery life.

Apple MacBook & Pro

 

Recently Apple introduced new versions of the MacBook and the MacBook Pro based on the Unibody design. Although a lot of noise was made about the “introduction” of the Unibody design on these new Macs, it was actually the MacBook Air that introduced...

In short, these new Macs are beautiful, fast and very functional. They’re certainly a worthy upgrade over the previous models especially with the new nVidia chipset. Would I recommend getting one? If you’re not a power-user then I certainly would. If...

Apple Mac Book Pro

 

The Apple Mac Book Pro is the first Apple laptop to benefit from the company's use of Intel chips, boasting an Intel Core Duo processor. Does that mean it's an improvement over Apple's PowerBooks? Check out what Akinola Akintomide in his first review...

Comparison leaves no room for doubt when you buy the new 17-inch MacBook Pro. It's simply in a class of its own. One look at its slim and beautiful design and you would love it. One minute with its back lit keyboard and you would applaud the...

Apple MacBook Pro: Laptops and PC systems

 

The MacBook Pro is a laptop computer which not only made its predecessor look pretty bad, but it made AMD and Intel-based PC laptops look like children's toys in comparison. Packed with the Intel Core Duo processor running at either 2.0GHz or 2.16GHz,...

After an extensive look at Apple's relatively new MacBook Pro, I am quite satisfied with the new look and performance of the Intel-based Mac.

An Apple MacBook Gone Pro

 

It doesn't look that different to from the old Power Book, but the new Intel Core Duo chips really set this laptop apart.

Apple's switch of its mainstream products to Intel chips was completed in May with the release of the MacBook. I've been testing its more expensive sibling, the MacBook Pro, for a couple months and am reviewing it as part of a series on high-end...
