Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, Nvidia GeForce 9400M w/ 512MB)

Pros: Pretty, sturdy new one-piece body

Cons: Apple has ditched all serious users by opting for a silly highly reflective screen. If you use a laptop for a living, or do any sort of colour-work photography, graphics etc. Avoid this MAC. The reflections drive you mad.

Summary: Unlike most apple products - this is a real stinker. Apple have forgotten, momentarily, that this is a high-end laptop, not an ipod nano. People use Macbooks (often) to work on, not just fiddle about with on the bus. As a work tool, the new MacBooks are next to useless due to the highly reflective screen. This is, unusually for Apple, a case of seriously flawed design. It's just plain silly. Hopefully Apple will come to their senses and fit a decent non-reflective screen soon. If not, it's going to be back to windows PC's for many of us.
