Apple MacBook Pro MA092LL/A 17" Laptop Review
Apple MacBook Pro MA092LL/A 17" Laptop Review from Shelley Shay. The Cadillac of the Apple notebook fleet…, Turn this puppy on and you’ll be singing “I’ve got the powuh!” This is the fastest laptop on earth. The display is stunning, whether or not you get the glossy version. Wide enough to get serious projects done, in FinalCut Pro, Aperture or Logic. The FireWire 800 port means faster transfer speeds to your external FireWire 800 hard drive, and a great asset to those who process video in the field.
For it’s size, the unit is a light weight, but in its class, it’s the heavyweight champion. still 1″ thin, the powerful Intel Core Duo gets HOT. These are not called laptop computers, folks – they are portables. If you’re doing processor intensive work with this on your lap, you’re gonna cook your loins. For less money, you can get a cheap PC laptop that weighs 15lbs and is about 3″ thick to absorb the heat it generates. If you want the best in portables without sacrificing screen real estate, this is the one to get.
The MagSafe power adapter is pure genius. No more cats or kids making your investment fly across the livingroom. If your foot snags on the power cord, it yanks out of the portable, instead of denting your DC-in board or crashing your computer to the ground.
FrontRow offers you what no other portable has – remote control for your tunes, your videos and your entire iLife. iLife ’06 is pre-installed and other than perhaps a carrying case and a copy of Microsoft Office, you won’t find yourself having to buy a lot of stuff to go with your investment. It just works, and comes with industry clad software that also simply works and yields stunning results.
No viruses, no malware, no spyware, no worries. Be sure to snag an AppleCare protection plan with your purchase. AppleCare Protection Plan (APP) covers your computer for 3 years… otherwise you have a one year warranty and out of warranty repairs for portables are not cheap… starting at about $310 out of warranty.
If you’re used to using your portable for faxing, you’ll need to pick up a USB modem. Apple believes that modems have gone the way of the Do-Do bird, despite the fact that all fax machines still use 28k-56k modems. Who knows what tomorrow may bring, though. Apple was the first to ditch the floppy drive, and thank goodness they did! They got a lot of heat over that decision, but it is a trend the industry has now embraced.
