Comments about Apple 15.4" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer (Aluminum Unibody):
Pros: At [$], $100 less than the current 2.66 GHz model, this one has double L2 cache, double video card memory! A great buy for desktop replacement!Cons: The battery is not built-in like the current model. So you will get less battery hours if you constantly use it on the go.The 9400M video card is integrated into the system, so you won't get full 4 GB RAM, the 256 MB is occupied by the system even if you are using the 9600M GT video card. SD or Expresscard is just a personal preference, personally, I don't use both.

Comments about Apple 15.4" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer (Aluminum Unibody):
I am a professional photographer. I use the Apple in combination with the 24" display. My graphic applications, such as Photoshop, Indesign etc, run
superfast.
First I worked with the Apple G3 series, but got tires of all the compatiblity problems, so I got a PC. Well, now it's great to be back at Apple because I don't have any problems and the system stays as quick as when I unrapped it.

Comments about Apple 15.4" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer (Aluminum Unibody):
Wonderful battery life. I'm getting 4hrs+ when I turn off WIFI and working (like on a plane). The unibody construction is so amazingly stiff...this laptop feels rock solid. Entire touchpad is clickable, and this is very convenient to use. Great backlighting on the keyboard, and the LED backlit screen is BRIGHT. Even usable in outdoors/daylight or driving in the car. Overall, I am so pleased with this purchase, and glad I got one of the 15" models before they were completely replaced with the SD card reader model (I need the Expresscard option for my video work).
