Apple MacBook Pro 13 Inch Laptop Review

Light, compact and powerful is the best way to describe the new Apple MacBook Pro MC374LL/A 13.3-Inch laptop. It is powered by a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and features the NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB shared memory.

The 13.3-inch LED-backlit display has a 1280 x 800 resolution. The MacBook Pro is also equipped with a 250GB or 320 GB hard drive, 8x DVD/CD SuperDrive, and 4GB DDR3 RAM. The laptop also comes with the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard Operating System and iLife.

Why You'll Like It
Portability is a big thing with laptops. This baby weighs in at a scant 4.5 pounds and measures 12.78" x 8.94" x 0.95". While most laptops are 1.5 inches thick, the Apple MacBook Pro is less than 1 inch thick. At the same time, its patented unibody casing makes it tougher and more durable than other laptops.

This laptop may be lightweight but it's a heavyweight when it comes to processing power. Its 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo makes multi-tasking a breeze and the NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor can easily handle image software and video games. The machine keeps cool during operation, thanks to the Core 2 Duo processor. With its 4GB RAM and improved video card, it's definitely better than the previous version.

The Apple MacBook Pro's battery is simply amazing. When fully charged, the battery will last up to 10 hours. This is a whole lot longer than other laptop batteries. However, you should expect the battery life to be less than the rated 10 hours depending on the applications you are running.

You'll find many good things going on in this machine. The keyboard is extremely comfortable and much better than other laptops. And the multi-touch trackpad is incredible. It supports inertial scrolling (love this!), rotate, swipe, one-finger tap, two-finger tap, double-tap, drag, etc. It is so intuitive that people who are used to pointing and clicking with a mouse will be trackpad experts in no time at all.

If you can't let go of your Windows applications, you can still run them on the Apple MacBook Pro. BootCamp allows you to partition the hard drive and install Windows along with the Mac OS X.

Possible Cons
You really need to think long and hard to find anything wrong with the Apple MacBook Pro. Long-time Windows users may need a little time to get used to the system. And admittedly, it is more expensive than other laptops.

Recommendation
Buy it! Usually, you get what you pay for. But with the Apple MacBook Pro MC374LL/A, you're actually getting more than what you pay for.
