Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
The MAcbook Pro has been perfect for all of our daily needs from school work and video editing to just simply surfing the net with lightning fast speed and quality.
It is lightweight and compact but by no means too small. Just perfect for on location work without sacrificing download and upload speed!
I honestly have no complaints about this product. It has been a purchase I am most happy with and would highly recommend it to my friends and collegues without hesitation.

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
I use it for personal and some business. The main thing I like about it is ease of use. I came from a Windows environment to the MAC because a trusted friend persuaded me and I don't regret it one single bit.
I can't think of anything that I don't like about it, it's easy to use, beautiful to look at and out performs any Windows system that I've had over last 20 years or so.

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
I use my MacBook Pro Notebook to record and edit music and audio documentaries for radio. It's compact, sturdy and reliable. Because it travels so easily (about 4 pounds and fairly thin) it allows me to work on the road, in the backyard and flat on my back in bed. I'm especially impressed by the long batter life. Let's hope it lasts!

Very ez to set up as well as a intermediate cpu savvy person!

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
I've been a mac user for years and the macbook pro is the best one I've used yet. It's fast, user friendly, and easily downloads new programming. The only problem I've run into is transferring data from my old computer to the new one. However, that was more because of a problem with the old computer than how the new one accepted the info. I haven't had a laptop before, so the flat keyboard is one other thing I'm still getting used to, but beyond that it's great.

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
My daughter is going into design graphics. What better way to go than with an Apple laptop with super computing power when it comes to graphics. I have the 24 inch desktop which I purchased both from B&H Photo about a year ago. I am a happy camper with the prices and the trouble free feeling I get from Apple. B&H is one of the best places I have shopped online with..

Bought the 13.3 inch MacBook Pro, 4 Gig upgrade, and ultra thin Keyboard. All were lower price than I could find anywhere else. [...] I am happy. Also bought a panasonic 32 inch LCD TV a couple of months ago from B&H. Again was very happy with their prices [...].Bob

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
Use it for freelance graphic design. Adobe programs run smoothly. Mail and Safari are quick. I used to use Firefox, but found that Safari is quite faster. The picture is very clear and love the backlit keyboard. Would have liked a larger screen, but for the money and amount of use it works just fine.
