Apple MacBook Pro user reviews (15-inch, Summer 2012)

Pros I/O calibre that's hard to find.

Cons Maybe, it could lose a half a pound, the next time round.

Summary The MacBook Pro 15 brings together a combination of I/O, the stadards of which are hard to find on any one laptop.

The keyboard is as comfortable or more than those found on Lenovo ThinPads. The trackpad provides just the right smoothness and is not slippery. The speakers acoustically match up to the build quality of the laptop, which exceeds laptops in general. The screen though having the same resolution as its predecessors, offers colour density which I think users will find appreciable. It's more than just about pixel density, it's also the quality of glass that covers the screen which works very well.

I bought the 2.3GHz version. I did upgrade the RAM to 8GB and the hard disk to 7200rpm, which I understand will enable one to leverage the throughput of the i7 processor.

I chose this over he Retina, as I understand there are issues with the screen, including a yellow tinge and the screen's adaptability to Internet web sites which are not made with the Retina in mind. Furthermore, I also came across people who had USB connectivity issues with the Retina. I think we need to wait for Apple to refine the Retina, unless you are into professional artwork, video editing or photography.

Pros Its fast, responsive, and it has loads of features!

Cons it doesn't have hdmi but i can live with it. and it doesn't have mountain lion on board but other than that its a great laptop!

Summary This is my first mac and i gotta say its fast! i don't think I'll ever be going back to Windows. i would recommend this to anyone who's is thinking about buying it.

Pros It is a great compilation of best hardware and best software.
OS X Mountain Lion is the best and most advanced OS,hardware is just awesome. No need to write@

Cons It should have shipped with OS X Mountain Lion(No problem as it is a free update for this MacBook Pro)

Pros Very Fast... No viruses. Very fast start up. Long battery life.
Light weight..

Cons Very expensive programs if you can find the program at all.
Not compatible with MANY websites. Very poor word processing program installed.. Very poor spreadsheet installed. Grade 3 level.
No good for the business I am in. Us and Can Gov sites.

Summary I bought this computer because i was told it is the one to get for mu Business.
Boy was that person ever WRONG. I deal with Can and Us gov agencies a lot and this computer is not very compatible with MANY of their sites.
It is also not compatible with many GPS tracking devices that I use every day in my business. The accounting programs that are available are a lough. I am still using a PC for that. No good for Google talk.
NO good in general for business or less you run a hot dog stand or a donut shop. I deal with way to many high teck companies that want NOTHING to do with a Mack. It is great for personal use and browse the internet, Fast etc but no good for the business I am in. Spent close to $6000 on 2 of them. 15" pro and a 13" Ratina. Waste of money. Never again. The only regret I have is Buying them.
