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

Let me first say that I am NOT the most tech-savvy woman on the block. But, having used computers for the last 22 years (since the IBM PC and original Apple Mac back in the mid 1980s, as my father was a Silicon Valley engineer before retirement), I'm picky when it comes to my computers.

I cannot say how much I absolutely love my Mac!!! This is my first Mac in my entire life and I would never go back to a PC. I come from a family of computer programmers and software developers who are, needless to say, die hard PC fans. However, even they have attested to the fact that they love my... Read full review »
