Built from the ground up for demanding professionals looking for a powerful mobile solution, the MacBook Pro is Apples most efficient and stylishly designed laptop computer to date. Featuring revolutionary Multi-Touch technology, the MacBook Pro allows you to pinch, swipe, or rotate your fingers across the mouse pad to enlarge text, advance through your photo library, or scan through your music. It’s not just all form with no function, however, the MacBook Pro also gets a serious speed bump from Intel's latest 2.4 GHz 45-nanometer Penryn series Core 2 Duo processor, which also helps to reduce power requirements and save on battery life for a mobile experience that just keeps going and going and going… Less

I purchased this laptop last year.  
This was my first MAC product and it did take some time to adjust from a PC.  I have to admit that this laptop has stayed consistently fast.  I can open lots of windows and it doesn't seem to slow it down any.  The battery life is longer... Read full review »
