Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apple MacBook Pro MC024LL/A 17-Inch Laptop (OLD VERSION) (Personal Computers)
I purchased this after agonizing over weather or not to get the 15" i5 or the i7. I could not decide. In the end, I ended up going with this MBP for the following reasons:
* The i7 is not worth the extra price performance wise
* I wanted true HD resolution
* The 17" is not as massive as some make it out to be. I carry it with a Lenovo T400 through airports weekly, no problem
* This MBP has 512 video RAM, which is awesome
* I kinda wanted matte, but after using glossy, it isn't the nightmare some make it out to be
The deal from Amazon was actually cheaper than my company corporate [...] discount. Sad but true. And with overnight Prime shipping, you cannot beat this deal. I have finally whittled down to one personal computer (still have the work Lenovo). I put Win7 on this MBP through Fusion and it works great. Very fast computer and the best I've ever owned.
Highly recommended!

I feel a little humble writing this review. I am not an IT expert, nor do I have any expert knowledge about technology is general. In fact, I don't even own a cell phone. Our family's main television is analog, I don't know how to text, and I am that person who goes to teenagers for technological advice. Not to say that I'm backwards or unaware of current high-tech trends. I just don't feel like my life needs to be enhanced by fancy gadgets. Well, that is until I entered the World According to Apple!
Just yesterday, I purchased my first MacBook Pro and am wondering what took me so long. About two months ago I attempted to replace my (perfectly serviceable) 2006 Dell laptop with a netbook. I reasoned that 1 GB of memory would be adequate for my needs; I have never been more wrong in my life. That ill-conceived purchase helped me decided that it was time for me to move to the forefront of computing and buy more computer than I would ever need. Right now, I feel like a little kid seeing snow for the first time or experiencing my first roller coaster ride. I have never used something so intuitive before.
PROS:
Some have posted that this computer is a "behemoth" or "unwieldy". I find it to be about the same size as the laptop I'm replacing (the aforementioned Dell).
With my Dell and netbook I used a USB mouse. With this computer, for the first time, I actually like track pads. It didn't take me long to realize that using this trackpad is easier than a mouse. The entire pad is a button or you can set it to read a "tap" (which I like better).

I have had this laptop about a week now and am extremely satisfied. I owned a 3 year year old Macboook Pro prior to this and am very happy with the increase in performance. The machine runs Final Cut Studio and Logic Pro without problems and provides a clearly noticeable increase in performance. The only negative things I have to say are regarding battery performance. I am getting "only" 4.5 - 5 hrs of time using pro apps and this is only about half of what Apple claims. This is still better than about any other laptop currently on the market though. I have experienced no problems whatsoever with overheating even after long days of use.
