2010 MACBOOK PRO VALUE PRO
This video shows the external aspect of the Macbook Pro 15″ 2010 Ports I think that pretty much everyone agrees that the build quality of the Macbook Pro line is quite spectacular – most of the debate is usually geared towards whether or not this is “worth” it. My worst fear is to actually scratch the aluminum surface (I have an invisishield on my MBP 13). It gives a very reassuring feel when holding it. I tried the magnesium and carbon-fiber casing, and I can tell you that this feels much more solid. However, if you have not held a Macbook Pro in your hand, you might not know how ultra-rigid the Unibody frame is.
2010 MACBOOK PRO VALUE MAC OS
Mac OS 10.6.3 (and Windows 7, via BootCamp 3.1)īuild quality (Excellent): Most of you are probably familiar with the Apple Unibody design, which is carved from a solid bloc of aluminum.From this review, I hope that you can extrapolate what your experience of the 15″ Macbook Pro (Spring 2010) would be like.
2010 MACBOOK PRO VALUE MAC OS X
I often use Mac OS X for my personal stuff, but most of the tools that I work with run on Windows. In the past two years, I have used a Sony Vaio SZ, a Sony Vaio SR and a Macbook Pro 13″ (year 2009, on Windows 7) as work laptops - yes, I’m a “PC” guy too. I try to use my laptop as a companion computer only (I have a beefy desktop PC), so I don’t have all my media files (music, videos, photos) in there, which is why I have plenty of storage left on the hard drive. “Productivity use” means MS Office (Outlook, Word) and lots of web ( Firefox, Chrome). Some gaming from time to time doesn’t hurt, but this is not a priority. Ready?Ĭontext: We all use laptops for different purposes, so before you dive into this review, let me tell you where I come from: I mainly use laptops for productivity use (writing, email, browsing, light image resizing). In this review, we will use the Macbook Pro 15.4″ with Core i7 and we will compare it with its peers. We have not forgotten Windows users who could be lured by the great aluminum industrial design, so we will tell you how it behaves under Windows 7 and what’s in it for you. This review might be most useful to very old Macbook owners, potential first-time Mac Buyers who wonder which Macbook Pro they should get (13, 15 or 17). The old Macbook Pro laptops have been removed from the shelves, so there is little point in spending too much time comparing. Among the most noticeable improvements, there’s the Intel Core i5/Core i7 Processor (CPU), the discreet Nvidia GT 330M graphics processor ( GPU) and an even longer battery life (increased by 1hr to 3hrs, according to Apple -depending on the model). Apple has recently upgraded its Macbook Pro line of laptops.
