CNET Asia Review

By Justin Jaffe

Good

6.9

out of 10

View score

The good: Beautiful, sleek design; robust software package, including Mac OS X Tiger; illuminated keyboard and big, scrollable touch pad; multimedia features include DVD burner, built-in Webcam and remote control.

The bad: Nonnative software runs slowly; few firm dates on when the software transition will be complete; subpar battery life; lacks media card reader and some other ports; higher-end configurations are much more expensive than their PC equivalents; only 90 days of toll-free technical support.

The bottom line: The MacBook Pro delivers unparalleled style, a solid set of features and software. But a few transitional performance issues keep it from rivaling the most powerful PC laptops.

MacBookPro is awesOme =))) virus free, reliable and compatible.



Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: its awesome. when installed crossfire i can play any pc games in my mac.. weehee.. its awesome!
Cons: well...hmm... i wish to get highest spec which is more satisfactory =))))
Opinion:
well.. its awesome.. i can do anything everything wv my MBP and i am just a student! huhu. i play, i work..its FANTASTIC! well i earn hard to get my MBP and i have to take care of it because last saturday night it slip from my hands and it fell. Thank god for the technology bt in terms of hardware at the end left side not the one near the screen got a dent. Just realise I must be very careful with it since it has sensors in evry corner and i do not want to ruin that either. Well atleast they do sell the back casing separately and so on which means if i am creative enough i can spray paint it and do more!

For me no matter what is the best brand i'd buy, if it still uses xp programmes i wont take my chances since there is a possibility where it might be infected ... Read more

 

mac is GOOD and the review sucks



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: it's a mac
Cons: it's expensive
Opinion:
Machine is excellent if money is no problem, otherwise check out the macbook or and IBM thinkpad 60-series, that's about the only one that fits in the same region of quality.

And the review of CNET is really bad. Just check out the processor speed and DDR between the windows based laptop vc the macbook pro. The windowsbased laptop has 4 Gig of DDR versus 512 DDR for the macbook pro for Christ sake. And it's a respective 2,0 GHz vs 1,83 GHz duo processor... They should really rewrite this review.

 

Great looking and hot (literally)



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Really great looking, slim, fast, REALLY bright screen
Cons: Short Battery life, gets really hot
Opinion:
its a great notebook to take around because it has a good mix of features built into it. Front Row is a nice touch. Using the apple remote to control powerpoint/keynote presentations is also a nice touch. On the downside, the batt life has much to be desired (3h) and there arent many software around which is optimized 4 intel processors in a mac.
