"Finally made the switch to Mac, and am truly impressed."
Pros: Battery life, ease of use, and easy learning curve for former PC users. EXTREMELY quiet, and does not get really hot. Even when there is a disc in the drive, it is not loud. I've never used such a quiet, fast and simple computer that kicked butt!
Cons: None to speak of yet. If I find some, I'll edit this review.
Summary: Totally worth the switch. After preliminary ... read more

"Expensive, but top of the line always is expensive"
Pros: Weight, speed, two video cards, long battery life, beautiful screen, thin, fast, elegant, stable, cool temperature, no loud fan noise, supports 8GB of RAM

Summary: For audio/video and 3D production work, this ... read more

Cons: (struggling to name them...) Hmmm... No available 500 GB, 7200 RPM HD upgrade, have to log out (although it only takes 1 min.) to switch graphics chips, MobileMe syncing still buggy, sealed battery... that's really about it!?!
Summary: I have always been naturally, technology savv... read more

Pros: Ease of Use, amazingly fast performance, Viruses...what viruses, these things never crash like my Windows based Machines always did.
Cons: Makes you addicted to Macs, is kinda big to lug around all over the word, but still alot more portable than a comparably configured PC.
Summary: This is the second Mac I have ever used. I'm ... read more
