Hi all,
I have been a long time fan of apple and I wanted to share my experiences with you about the current rev macbook pro.
I bought this in February as soon as the keynote finished. I got the base model which seemed to me to be the sweet point.
At the time I was seriously torn with getting a MBA but the fact that I had a relatively large itunes (150gb) would mean I would need to have a hard drive with that attached. This is what I was doing with my ibook g4 and found it really a pain.
I was really looking for that 'all in one' solution. As a note a desktop wasn't an option as I had nowhere to put it in my flat
Well I have to report back that my time with the MBP has been great! It really is a powerhouse and lets me do everything that I need to do, whether it be image editing and work (boo!!) to watching films in bed and playing C+C!
The screen is really a bonus, I think after a while you get used to something and don't appreciate the quality. The other day I was in a shop and saw a blackbook and just realised how superior the MBP screen was. it really makes everything much more easy.
I am fortunate enough to be in a good job and able to afford expensive items like this. as it has now been 6+ months since I got it I am 'able' to afford a new purchase. I have been looking at getting another apple computer, obviously, from the macbook, definitely the macbook air and right through to the imac and even mac pro. BUT the problem is....
with the macbook pro there just isn't (for my experiences) a hole that needs to be filled. It really is, in my opinion, the most versatile machine and worth every penny that I have spent. I always like to pride myself in being well researched and buying the best products and in this case I really don't think I could have done better ..... except if it had a 500gb hard drive!!!
Thanks everyone (anyone?!) who reads this and please post your experiences good or bad - specs are in my sig
