Strengths: Lightweight. Very Thin. Good Features. Great Display. Firewire 800. Great Graphics Card. Built In Camera. Remote. Small powerbrick.
Weakness: Price ? Its expensive but any other laptop with similar features also fell in at this price but a few more pounds to carry around. Super Drive's max burn speed is 8x.
First, the look. This laptop is thin, sleek, lightweight. I've owned several powerful HP laptops and they weight a lot more than this one. The power brick for the MBP is a lot smaller than the competitors ones so it adds up to a lot less weight you have to carry. The MBP does heat up but the battery always remains cool and I haven't had a problem with it so far. The Display is great, 1680 x 1050...
Strengths: Not sure?
Weakness: Won't turn on, runs very hot.
I just got a 17" MacBook Pro and it died while setting it up and then wouldn't turn back on. I followed all of the trouble shooting steps, like resetting it to the factory settings etc.. Returned it to the Apple store. They agreed there was something wrong with it, so they gave me a new one. I got this new one home and it looked like it had been re-packaged as if it had been serviced. It wouldn't...
Oh my gosh!! You should see how smooth and fast this laptop works!! I have it and It is totally cool, I recommend this MacBook lots!!!! It is the most fastest,smoothest computer ever!!!!!!!!!!
Strengths: wonderful screen, really liking Leopard
Weakness: Power cord often comes out with little pulling and is not the most convenient adapter
The first MacBook I received was DOA. I read another person had this happen in the reviews and I refused to believe it could happen to me. It did! I worked for several hours the first night I had it troubleshooting, refusing to believe it. The next morning I got in touch with Apple, as MacMall said to do. Then Apple informed me it was a MacMall problem since it was dead out of the box. I called...
THE GOOD: Lightest 17-inch laptop weve seen; has a built-in Webcam and a remote control; can run Windows XP via Boot Camp; adds FireWire 800 support. THE BAD: Lacks media card reader; comes with only 90 days of toll-free technical support. THE BOTTOM LINE: Apples Core 2 Duo 17-inch MacBook Pro is especially thin and light for a desktop replacement, making it an attractive choice for multimedia...

The Apple MacBook Pro proves that a desktop replacement notebook doesn't have to be a behemoth. Weighing just 6.8 pounds and measuring about an inch thick, this sleek system delivers a 17-inch widescreen and plenty of extras.
Top
We can think of a few new features we'd like to see in Apple's flagship laptop. Even without those improvements, however, the 17-inch MacBook Pro is a marvelous machine. If you can afford the price and don't mind the size and weight, you won't be disappointed.

worth to buy
Strengths: Applications run faster than previous PowerBook or MacBook Pro MagSafe Built-in iSight Improved Trackpad Front Row Runs cooler than previous MacBook Pro, yet quiet Beautiful screen, easy on the
Weakness: not portable expensive
Overall, this notebook is the best you can find out there in it's class. You may get better Graphics or storage with Alienware or other brands for the price but you will have to sacrifice size and weight which is the most important factor of a notebook/laptop...the portability.Other notebooks in this class are almost twice the thickness and are way more heavier. I would recommend this notebook...
