MacBook Pro review (early 2011)

 

Apple might say we're in the post-PC era, but hey -- turns out they still make Macs in Cupertino, and the new MacBook Pro is actually one of the more aggressive refreshes in the machine's history. Not only has it been less than a year since the last...

Extremely fast ; Excellent build quality ; Seven-hour battery life

Expensive ; SSD not standard ; No Blu-ray drive

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Retina Display)

 

The Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch (Retina Display) is the best way to carry the pixels of a large-screen monitor with you on the road.

High-resolution Retina display. Includes two Thunderbolt ports. Standard 8GB of memory. Good battery life. Supports Power Nap.

Pricey. Requires Retina-optimized apps for best user experience.

Like the optical drive, FireWire 800 has fallen out of favor at Apple, because that venerable (and relatively slow) port is missing from both Retina display–equipped MacBook Pros. You can also use the built-in SDXC card slot for extra storage, though...

Apple MacBook Pro Winter 2011 review: Apple MacBook Pro Winter 2011

 

After a now-customary period of rumors, leaks, and anecdotal evidence, Apple's new generation of MacBook Pro laptops has arrived. And though these new models may look the same as the ones they replace, the changes under the hood are some of the most...

Powerful updates to the CPU and GPU; excellent battery life; still the best touch pad and gesture controls of any laptop.

Upgrades can get expensive; Thunderbolt is an unproven technology with as-yet no compatible products; still no dedicated HDMI, Blu-ray, or other wished-for options.

It's a hefty investment, but the combination of new high-end Intel processor options and AMD graphics makes the 15-inch MacBook Pro an all-around powerhouse, with the new Thunderbolt I/O port as an added bonus.

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz)

 

The Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz), now speedier and with longer battery life, is the ticket to portable computing bliss.

Better battery life than its predecessors. Speed and memory bumps help performance. Unparalleled multi-touch gestures., Backlit keyboard. Excellent software bundle. Sturdy. Best looking chassis in its class.

Intel Core 2 Duos are an aging processor technology. Heavy for a 13-inch laptop.

Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina Display Review

 

Is a screen with a greater-than-1080p resolution enough to justify the $1,499 price tag on the 13-inch MacBook Pro? Keep reading to find out.

Beautiful screen ; Excellent backlit keyboard ; Perfect size for portability and power

Noticeable Display Lag ; Non-Retina supported apps look terrible ; No dedicated graphics card

Review Apple MacBook Pro 13 Early 2011 (2.3 GHz dual-core, glare-type screen)

 

The Little Guy. The smallest MacBook Pro with a 2.3 GHz Core i5 i

Low System Noise Under Light Use; Unibody Case; Keyboard; Bright, High-Contrast Display; Color Space; Performance; Battery Life Under Light Use

Few Ports; Few Options; Relatively Heavy; Small Enter Button; Loud Under Heavy Use; CPU Clock Downsampled Under Very Heavy Use; Reflective Screen; Short Warranty

Some crucial differences come to light when running Windows 7 via Bootcamp. More heat is produced (although not to critical levels), the battery life is considerably shorter, the transfer rates of ports are reduced and the various benchmark scores are...

Review Apple MacBook Pro 13 Early 2011 (2.7 GHz dual-core, glare-type screen)

 

On the Edge. The speediest dual-core processor in a compact 13" c

Unchanged Excellent Aluminum Case; Outstanding Keyboard and Touchpad; Good Screen (except for reflections); Quiet Under Light Use

No Matte Screen Available; CPU Downsampling und Heavy Use (Windows); No CPU Turbo Boost in Windows

Of course the Core i5 starter model of the MBP13, but also the white MacBook or the 13" MacBook Air. In the Windows world, the less expensive Asus U36JC or the soon-to-be-released Timeline laptops from Acer.

Review Apple MacBook Pro 15 Early 2011 (2.0 GHz quad-core, glare-type screen)

 

Go with the Glossy Screen? After having thoroughly reviewed the n ...

Excellent Design and Craftsmanship ; Outstandingly Sturdy Case with Nice Feel ; Decent Trackpad ; Thunderbolt Port Ensures Future Compatibility ; Good Weight for its Class ; Office and Multimedia Performance ; Battery Life and Power Consumption

High Starting Price ; Reflective Screen Restricts On-The-Go Use ; Short 12-Month Warranty ; Few Accessories ; Non-Removable Battery

In the Cinebench R11.5 test, our in-review laptop earns a CPU score of 4.68 points. The matte version earned an almost identical 4.6 points. The same is true for the OpenGL test, which resulted in the negligible difference between 22.18 and 22.07 points
