Apple MacBook Pro user reviews (13-inch, Summer 2012)

Pros Trackpad sensitivity and performance,
Mountain Lion is easy to use and intuitive,
Keyboard has excellent travel,
Performs with little lag,
Screen is bright, has wide viewing angles,
Battery life is great (about 5 1/2 to 6 hours average-never below 5)

Cons Glossy screen attracts fingerprints and dust easily, and is not the easiest to clean,
The aluminum case attracts smudges and scratches a bit more easily then I would like,
Trackpad can be a bit finicky when changing from two to three finger inputs.

Summary I've been saving up for this computer for months, and i was afraid that I had overplayed it in my mind, that there was no way this computer could possibly live up to my expectations that i had created. Well needless to say it has done the impossible. The screen is beautiful regardless of the mediocre pixel count, battery life is superb (Around 5 1/2 to 6 hours), the trackpad is nothing short of amazing, Mountain Lion is incredibly easy to use, and the size and weight of the computer (while not ultrabook like) is great for day to day use, especially considering the upgradability the Pro possesses over the Air. In fact, the main reason I got this computer over the Air is the upgradability aspect. In 3 or 4 years, when the Air will require a RAM or hard drive upgrade, a new system would be required, while with the pro, you sacrifice a pound and a half in return for a longer system lifespan. If you're considering this laptop, don't hesitate, you will not be let down.

Pros MacBook Pro (last years model)

Doesn't crash
Doesn't bog down
Is faster than it's competitors
much better looking too

Cons Price? Not really. You get what you pay for.

PC has more games.

Summary I have both a PC (Dell's 17" XPS with 3D display - 2012 model with 3rd gen i7, rigged out with 16 GB of RAM and 3 GB of NVidia Video) and a MacBook Pro 13" 2011 model (everything came standard with 8 GB of RAM).

Both are very nice, but my MB Pro boots up faster and it's applications (like Adobe Suite) loads faster than my PC. My MB Pro has never crashed, not even once. As for my PC, I can't even let it go to sleep, because sometimes it may wakeup and sometimes not.

I'm neither a PC nor an avid Apple fan. I like what both has to offer. MB Pro for work (because it's simply reliable), and PC for games (the library of games are important to geeks like me).

Pros faster, more memory, more connectivity than air

Cons its heavier, but not by much

Pros Clear screen, fast start up, very user friendly, and reliable. I have been a Mac user for 11 years and have never gotten a virus - that streak continues with my newest MacBook Pro. The money is well spent.

Cons The ONLY fault with this laptop (aside from the price) is that the speakers are not nearly loud enough. I have trouble hearing movies over my heating vents when they kick on. For the price tag, Apple should be able to include better audio hardware.
