      Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:

      It's a thing of beauty! It's easy to use and very useful in my research and studies. I have been a PC user for 20 years, but I decided to buy a Macbook Pro for a change. All the things that I do with the PC, I can do with a Mac and more!!! It just feels different, in a good way! I am referring to the user interface. The battery performance is great with 7 hours+ per charge. It has a lot of built-in utilities, too!

        Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:

        Been a windows user for umpteen years, got my new Macbook Pro and am loving the editing features.

        4GB RAM really works fast for start ups and opening programs and the lighting under the keypads help in low light work.

        An instruction manual would be great for beginning Mac users, especially if you can't get online right away. Also, found out from a friend the Mail doesn't work with hotmail, go figure...

        Comments about Apple 13.3" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer:

        I was a PC user since 1993. Last year I replaced my desktop for an iMac (thanks to the awful Windos Vista). Now I am finally finishing my complete migration to Mac, with this new notebook.
        It is great, very intuitive and simply works... You open and it's ready to work!
        You take a couple of hours to learn how to use the new touchpad, and then you don't need a mouse anymore...
        If you are considering one of these, simple go for it!
