Mac Book Pro: 13"

Opening:

Every time you step into a apple store you are amazed by all the futuristic technology you see. Apple advertises there products as perfect and the future of technology. But people wonder, Are the products really as good as Apple says? Lets take a dive into a detailed review on the Apple MacBook Pro 13”.

Visual Appeal: 

When I first opened the box to my brand new MacBook Pro the first thing that caught my eye was the Unibody aluminum casing. The aluminum gives it that rich future feeling. It includes a crisp 13.3 inch windscreen backlit display that supports A resolution of up to 1280 x 800, with a bright vibrant colored display. The laptop Has some weight to it and is decently thin. Not as light and thin as its brother the MacBook Air but it is still portable to bring to coffee shops, school, or anywhere you may need it! The screen dose a decent job at preventing finger prints yet they are still visible. The black outline around the screen helps u focus on the display. It makes it look very elegant along with the backlit keyboard.

Visual Apparel: 10/10

Hardware: 

The MacBook Pro will come in a 13in, 15in, and 17in. For this review I use a 13in. It uses a aluminum unibody design which means they use one block of aluminum and cut it to make the body of the device. Why unibody you may ask? Unibody is more stable and tougher. The notebook includes a Intel core 2 duo 2.4 GHz possessor with 4GB of memory. It uses a NVIDA GeForce 320M Graphics card so it runs games very smoothly. The battery life is at 10 Hours and I do wish it could be longer. It has a backlit keyboard that gives a nice light behind each individual key. This brightness can be adjusted even turned off to your preference. The keyboard has a wonderful feeling to it. They are spaced perfectly and feel smooth. One thing that would of been nice to add would be a number pad on the right of the keyboard yet the number row will serve you well.This notebook dose include a disk drive so you can play movies, install programs, play your music, or just anything that you will use a disk for. It has 2 USB ports on the left side and dose include a Fire Wire port as well. It also will include a ethernet port and a SD card slot, and a headphone jack on the right left side of the device. Personally i would prefer 4 USB ports yet its not a deal beaker. Apple has included a handy battery indicator on the left side that uses 8 green led’s to show your battery life. One of the best parts of this notebook is the multi touch track pad! It allows you to use gestures with your fingers to do different things like right click, scroll, flip threw pages, pictures,songs, etc. You can also go to your expos from the trackpad and switch threw applications. You can not forget the built in iSight. The web camera is not as good as the $100 you can buy from the store, yet it is pretty standard on laptops.

Hardware: 9/10

User:

Now after reading all of the information above you will be saying to yourself that you may like this device but is it really for me? The MacBook Pro is a advanced notebook for more advanced users. It can be used for day to day internet using and music. Yet the amount of power built into it  is mostly focused to power users like people that will be working on GarageBand, a music creating program by Apple. Other programs like Final Cut, Photoshop, iMovie, Microsoft office, iWorks, etc. The MacBook pro is great for those programs and still has blazing fast internet for you internet users.

Summary:

Overall this notebook is one like no other. It handles all your needs very well. It offers a sexy, futuristic look with great hardware, blazing fast speeds, and with enough power for you power users out there. I will have to say this is a near perfect notebook with very little need for improvement. Its a great product for students, Video editors, photo editors, and business users.
