This post is mostly for the people that are considering buying a MBP but are hesitant because of all the reported problems people are having with them. When I first started coming to these forums while I was considering to get a MBP I was slightly put off from all of the problems people have been having with them such as faulty 9600GTs, slanted keys and bad displays. Well, today I got my very first Mac and what can I say? I love it!
I got the Macbook Pro 2.4GHz model and I am simply blown away by it. Everything about it is perfect. The build quality is the best I have seen in a laptop and the OS is brilliant. After using PCs for years I grew tired of all the problems I was having and the general instabilities of Windows. I am happy to say that I am very pleased with OS X and wont be going back to Windows any time soon. From what I can tell, there is nothing wrong with this MBP. There are no slanted keys, no dead pixels and no overheating issues.
I decided to install Windows on it to try playing some games and it has absolutely no problems at all running Fallout 3 on medium. I also installed Steam and tried playing HL2, CS:S and Portal and they run very smoothly with all settings maxed out.
When I bought it from the store, the salesperson was nice enough to include a AU$50 Macbook sleeve for free. The case is an STM 15" Macbook Pro Glove. The sleeve fits it like a glove and while it is a little bit tight, Im sure it will stretch out after some more use.
So, all in all I am very happy with this MBP and I doubt very much that I will ever buy another PC. Thanks for reading and good luck with your Macbooks.
