Review: MacBook Pros (13-inch, Mid 2009)
06/23/2009
Pros: Has FireWire 800 port ; improved battery life ; high quality display ; bootable SD card slot
Cons: No matte screen option ; no video adapters or Apple Remote included ; no CPU or 7,200 rpm upgrade options available
Verdict: And finally, the new 13-inch MacBook Pros now feature a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot. Having an internal SD card reader is obviously handy for photographers and videographers whose cameras record to the popular SD format, but that's not its ...
With its lower price, the return of FireWire (woo-hoo!), longer battery life, better looking display and a new built-in SD Card slot that you can boot from, the newest member of the MacBook Pro makes an impressive debut.
Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch
06/10/2009
Pros: Very good processing parts for an entry-level machine. Unparalleled multi-touch gestures. Best-looking chassis in its class. Sturdy. Return of the FireWire port. Bigger, better battery life than its predecessor's. Lower prices. Backlit keyboard. ...
Cons: Base memory is little low for this day and age
Verdict: Bringing in an SD slot and bringing back the FireWire portwhile also lowering priceseliminated Apple's weakest links in the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Add bigger, better battery life and you've got yourself a winner.
After all the whining, the bickering, and the constant remarks about how Windows-based laptops have this and that and cost so much less, Apple, a company known to make its own rules, is finally letting down its guard. The lovable MacBook Pro 13-inch ...
Apple MacBook Pro Summer 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Nvidia GeForce 9400M, 13-inch)
06/10/2009
Pros: Adds SD card slot and reacquires FireWire ; lower starting price ; same solid unibody construction and giant multitouch trackpad
Cons: Nonremovable battery ; no matte screen or discrete graphics options
Verdict: Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminum unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.
Apple MacBook Pro 15in. (2009)
05/05/2009
Verdict: This isn't the '09 model. This model came out in fall '08. There hasn't been an update yet
From the aluminium chassis to the LED-backlit display, Apple's MacBook Pro laptop has been precision engineered down to the smallest detail. From the moment you open the beautifully packaged box to the short time the machine takes to boot, using this ...
Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch Unibody)
02/25/2009
Pros: Beautiful, durable design, Thinnest and lightest 17-inch notebook, Gorgeous edge-to-edge glass display, Long battery life, Multitouch trackpad
Cons: No Blu-ray option or memory card reader, Battery not user-replaceable, Pricey
Verdict: The glossy display only limited our viewing angles when we tried to watch from a severe 180-degree angle. Otherwise, viewing angles were decent when watching from the side, when dipping the screen forward, and when sitting a few feet away. For $50 ...
