MacBook Pro 2008

The new Apple laptop brings a new look with a black bezel around the screen and made out of one piece of aluminum well at least the top section is.

Apple have still not made an affordable laptop for the masses they have kept with the high end market. Saying that if you want the best you have to pay the price is.

We got a new Apple Mac book pro in this week and it did not disappoint with a stunning looks and with great performance, most other laptops can’t touch it. We got the 15.1 inch Apple MacBook Pro this has a new design we also upgraded the hard drive to a 320GB 7200rpm drive, this added an extra 10 days to the order if you want one in a hurry I would recommend going to your local Apple store.

What’s so special about the new Apple Mac book pro

We will start off with the “unibody” design this is something that Apple have been very excited about in fact talking about it at every turn, a unibody design in normal people speak is a chassis that is made out of one solid piece of aluminum making it stronger, lighter and more eco-friendly. To be honest you don’t really notice this until you look at the side of the Apple it makes the laptop look flawless, it also makes it lighter.

its unique dual graphics cards, yep that’s right 2 graphcs cards, the way this works is one is just a normal laptop graphics card and the other in an powerful NVIDIA graphics card that can be turned on and off. This allows you to choose to have it turned on when you are video editing, gaming or any other graphically demanding tasks or turn it off to allow you to take full advantage of the five-hour run time on battery that Apple quote on my web site.

First opening of the laptop.

Well as ever Apple has made the packaging just as beautiful as the products making openings of the laptop an event. The first thing I noticed was that you don’t get much extra with a laptop when I bought my first Mac I got every lead I would ever need including ones that I never used.

One week later.

Well I had a laptop for a week now and it’s holding up to be day-to-day punishment I give my tech I have put all my files and applications on and it’s still running fast and still has plenty of hard drive space which is the first one of my laptops. I have installed spore on it and it looks great. Unfortunately a couple of days ago I dropped my aftershave on the top of the screen denting the aluminum this of course annoyed me a lot as it taints the perfect looks thankfully only I can see it.

The verdict
