I started to use photoshop a lot, and I have used PC to ps the picture. But the outcome of the picture is still not very good. So, I switched to Apple, and I love the graphic of this computer. I am still trying to learn how to use this system, and I have fun for learning how to use different system.[...]I can't find any thing that is not so great for this computer yet, very nice computer.

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
I was a Mac guy for a long time but because of the company policy, had to switch to PC for the last 15 years, and now finally back to Mac again. I am very happy to be back. It has become really nice and for company work, I can go to Windows using the boot camp. I installed the Window 7 and seems to be working very well. I think on the personal stuff, I will be going to Mac. This is really cool.

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
I recently resigned as a pastor of a church after 15 years and needed to purchase my own laptop. My only experience was with a PC laptop. I had heard great things about the Macbook pro, so I decided to go for it. I will never return from Apple. It is the Cadillac. There is nothing I don't like about it...however, I am just learning (a good learning curve). B&H were excellent in their prices,[...], and communication. I highly recommend them.

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
I finally went with Apple's 13.3" Mac Book Pro. I have been putting it off because of the price but recently the prices have been very reasonable, almost half of what they were 2-3 years ago. I mainly use it to run Serrato's Itch software for DJing. I also use it to edit photos and surf the web. I'm getting the hang of the Snow Leopard operating system, it's very user friendly with many shortcut keys to increase productivity. It runs cooler than my pc laptop and is lighter and more durable due to it's one piece aluminum frame. I have nothing but praise for Apple's products (I also own an iPhone).

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
I just made the switch to Mac, after having owned PC's for two decades...Have to say I am not happy. My computer came out of the box with a problem with the Logic Board, a problem that seems to be affecting Mac's for almost two years now. The computer turn on but the screen is simply dead blank! Let me say again that I was not able to use the computer even for a single day! Unfortunately I live in Brazil, therefore I could not have replaced for a new one. Now it is the repair center here, so let's see if this very bad first impression changes. Right now I would not recommed this machine to anyone. read directly from Apple if you do not believe me[@]

Just made the switch. So far so good. Had a small problem initially getting connected to my home network but Apple servce was quick and helpfull. I am still able to run windows program with Fusion which is a quality program and boots up even quicker than any PC I've ever owned. I'm officially switched.
