 First time Mac owner January 30, 2009
T. Nguyen (Gilbert, AZ)
I've had my MBP for about a month now and it has been nothing but good times. The Mac interface is much smoother and more intuitive and the software package is quite useful. I've connected my Canon 40D to it directly and it breezes through downloads and edits. Quite a change from the PC I was using. I also plan on using the new Flip Mino HD with it as well. I'm positive that the video editing results will be just as satisfying as the photo editing. The system is screaming fast and I'm even going to upgrade my wireless network to Draft N to fully utilize the system.
What a gem! January 29, 2009

I was unsure as to whether I could enjoy a matte display, so I compared the glossy and matte screens side by side at an Apple retail store. While the glossy display was rich in color, I found the glare of the overhead lights and reflection of the activity behind me very distracting and annoying. I then began to play with the color options on the matte screen Macbook Pro and was able to nearly duplicate the saturation of color. FYI--Apple has recently redesigned the 17" MacBook Pro with the same glossy display as its siblings, however, you can "upgrade" to a matte display for an additional $50. Imagine that!
This Macbook Pro is a gem.
 Macbook Pro is powerful and simple to use January 29, 2009

I've had the Macbook pro for about a month now. Was a PC user up until now. I'm sold on how easy the Mac is to use. I especially like Iphoto for organizing pictures, Imovie for video clips, and even garageband for creating music and laying voice over onto karaoke songs. All software maintains a similar look and format and is very simple to navigate. And - when you have nothing to do, taking goofy pictures with Photo Booth is fun.
4 1/2 stars for a good product January 28, 2009

This is an outstanding computer, especially for its features and operating system functions. My gripe with it is that the 5400 rpm hard drive is a major lagging player and does not unleash the full potential of your MBP. I would get a new one - 7200 rpm - but doing so is a major pain and you could easily void the warranty. Otherwise, everything is working just fine.
I suggest you get the AppleCare protection plan as you might need it to protect your your (expensive) MBP. I got it for 200 at e bay.
You can get many free applications, including NeoOffice or OpenOffice (replaces MS office).
Good luck!
 A good buy but could be better January 27, 2009

My Macbook doesn't start as fast as I thought it would ---- comparing to my old desk top which runs on the Tiger system. The new Imovie is fun, but if you need any tech support, it seems you might as well work your problem out yourself. [...].
