"WOW, I am glad i return the DV6000t and glad to cancel my order on the DV6500T"
Pros: Frankly speaking i did not think that a computer could restart that fast...Smooth operation, don't even notice that you are running that many programs..
Cons: To tell you the truth nothing is perfect... but i don't have anything to complain about so far except for the window side it takes twice a much time to restart.. because of that i prefer the OX
Summary: I will start by saying that I toke me 3 months before i finally bought this computer..
I have never use a Mac before in my life.. I see then in my school computer lab i will wait until a window becomes available before i check my mail or print school stuff.. The one time i try to use a mac i could not log out of the computer.. i felt stupid, but that was because i am so use to PC.
Now let me tell you the PC that i looked at before i made the ultimate sacrifice to get a MBP.
I try DV6000t from HP for a week... frankly speaking the speakers are much louder than the MBP but i did not like the screen too reflective... worst of all window vista is sick,, its need some medical attention.. who spent $6billion dollars on a software and five years to develope .. its microsoft..
I order the dv6500t but i have to cancel the order because the sale rep told me that i could upgrade the graphic card.. but two days after buying the comp i call a tech who told me that it is not possible... so i canceled that order.
I then fall in love with the vio fz series... but the truth is why do need blue-ray not really a big fan of movies on laptop...
Fianally my room mate brother camp for his graudation and his MBP was still in the box when he came in.. I was in my room when he ask me can i get the password to your network i said use my cell number ... "it's not working he called out to me" I am coming i said.. what is this? this is hot.. can try it... that was how i came to buy this baby...
In fact i did not buy it until i watch the Steve Jobs speech on June 11 about the new OS coming up.. that was when i finally push that send bottom...
PS.
MBP is super fast.. never had any problem with application opening...it's my first time using a mac ...i am still getting use to it.. got all summer to fully know this thing but so far so good at least i don't look stupid using it... you will not regret that is the bottomline... about the heat problem that you hear if you are surfing the web, typing a paper or doing light work you have no cost to worry about the heat.. it only gets really hot if you are transfering huge files like when i transfer my 50gib from my trashy gateway laptop that weight 8lbs... and when you are watching dvd...
Batteries life:
One it is spectacular...
for me batter life was not really a big deal since i live by the plug for the past 4 years using my old gateway.. from the day i got my gateway i can never get 30mins gate send me a new battery same problem but it was too late to change that...
I use the MBP laptop for three days doing light work without recharging... even watch a whole 2hrs movies at the Pittsburhg international airport and check e-mails...catch-up with the news online.. full wireless strength.. In fact if you adjust the brightness i constantly calculate the time remaining according to what you are doing.. I am in heaven never again i have to be confine to a plug...
Fianally: Bootcamp.. Window takes a much longer time to start, but once its on everything is smooth,,, i am mentioning this because MAC OS takes a little below as 30secs to open application..... from the moment you turn this computer on you will fall in love with it..Updated
Try to look for what matter to you before buying... things like card reader... how often do you use it... if all of the time and require the convenient of it built in then look for an other models preferrable not a Mac but it would not hurt to get a little portable one like me,.. upload my pics during the evening when i am home.. don't look at the rating look at what they complain about ,.. this computer is great... you will love it,, oh by the way i am us Window Xp via Bootcamp to write this review that tells you that i am not even use to the Mac yet or don't want to give away PC...
