CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: New aluminum unibody construction looks good, feels solid; giant trackpad; attractive edge-to-edge glass on display; new dual graphics provide more power or more battery life. 8
out of 10View score
The bad: All-clicking trackpad is a bit awkward, at least initially; the extra-glossy screen won't appeal to everyone; switching GPUs not as seamless as it should be; similar performance to the cheaper 13-inch MacBook; still no media card slot.
The bottom line: Apple's redesigned 15-inch MacBook Pro boasts a redesigned aluminum body that's stunning, thin, and sturdy; a new trackpad with expanded functionality; and a dual graphics setup for either longer battery life or better performance, but there's now less incentive to spend extra for it because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.

Excellent notebook in performance and feel
Jun 8, 2009Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Great OS, user friendly and fast response
Cons: Pricey
Opinion:
I am a new user to Apple and this notebook has convinced me that this is better than Windows based products. The speed and stability of the product and its software beats Windows many times over.
You can find a lot of free softwares though its own portal and works perfectly with the iPhone/iTouch unlike when I used to have a Windows mobile PDA with a Windows based notebook. The notebook comes along with very good software that most users would like to use on a daily basis. This covers from music/movies/photos to wireless networking.

Best Laptop in the market
Dec 15, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Great display, built quality, very good trackpad.
Cons: No card reader
Opinion:
I think this is best macbook released by apple to date. The built is great, feels solid.
But the most important thing about an apple laptop is the user's experience. Using macbook never felt this good, thanks to the big trackpad and multi-touch gestures. I truly believe the multi-touch gestures make the experience more pleasurable.
