Despite a few performance anomalies, the 17-inch MacBook Pro offers plenty of creature comforts for creative professionals.

We should also note that Apple’s packaging is getting smaller in an attempt to be environmentally friendly, which we appreciate. Even closed, the MacBook Pro is a simple, elegant machine.

But like most Apple products, it’s not just the build quality that will catch your eye. Despite its 17-inch display, this 6.6-pound machine was made to be used on the go. The unibody case, carved out of a single piece of aluminum, is beyond solid.

I don't want to be the guy in a year who has to 'admit' to buying the 13" Macbook Pro.90% Apple MacBook Pro: 17-inches of Pure Lust Source: Hardware Zone EN→FR We really liked the 17-inch MacBook Pro, it's a great machine that delivers the goods in terms of performance and design. I know the specs weren't that spectacular compared to the old white macbook, but they were enough to make me decide it was worth the extra money - if I were buying now, I'm not so sure that'd be the case.ĭon't get me wrong, I still think that for £899 the 13" Macbook Pro is a good notebook, but this has soured my 'First Apple' experience a little.
