Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
This computer is perfect for whatever you want to do. Music, video, pictures, Word, Power Point, business or pleasure. I know the price might seem a little more than other platforms but it's worth it. You get what you pay for and you certainly get "it" with this computer.

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
[...]The Computer itself is a great price for this lower end model of Macbook Pro. As always you get what you're paying for. A beautiful functional machine. - I work with video production, graphic design, photography, and 3D design. Surprisingly this machine has kept up with the heavy load of tasks I demand from it. It is a great for those on the move. I will come back to BH to get a higher end Macbook Pro in the near future.

I bought this notebook last october in B&H Superstore. Don't waste your time deciding wich is the best computer, just go for it. And if you need windows OS, yes, you can run it.

Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:
i wish i had bought an apple sooner, it has to be the best thing since sliced bread, so easy to use, and soo much smoother and richer then a pc, if your on the fence about switching to a mac, jump to the apple side right now!! theres no other opition once you use it for yourself. i will still own and use a pc for some things, but now that i have my own appl mac book pro, i am sitting pretty with a big smile on my face.
