 Review of a long-time Windows userMar 02, 2010
Pros: Build quality is impeccable. Excellent screen. OS never crashes! Fully integrated bash terminal is great---it provides seamless connectivity to other linux-based systems. Magnetic power cable connection works fantastic. Fewer viruses are written for Macs.
Cons: Mostly about OS X and user interface. Hard to get used for long-time Windows users. Even after getting used to it, it lacks some important features Windows provides by default. File manager (Finder) is poorly designed--moving files around is a big pain. Lack of home/end/insert/delete buttons on the keyboard is a big minus. Clicking the touchpad requires quite a bit of force. Choosing large areas of text via touchpad is not easy (you need to push the hard touchpad and move your finger for pages!). IMO, "minimize all" in Windows works much better than expose.
In principle, one can install Windows on a Mac. However, Mac laptops are designed to work with OS X (e.g. there's no 2nd, 3rd buttons on the touchpad, and no trackball for scrolling, no home/end/insert/delete buttons etc). Running windows on a Mac has its own inconveniences and it's not preferable by design.
Verdict: For me, the laptop would be exceptional if it were designed to run Windows. If you're happy with OS X, this is still the best laptop around.
 Macbook Pro 15"Sep 01, 2009
Don't have too many words for this but EXCELLENT.
Got it working with dual boot using Leopard and Win XP for a long while and it's simply excellent. Now I'm using Leopard and Win 7 Beta and it still works like a charm.

Fantastic ComputerDec 26, 2008
Windows Vista was the last straw so I went Mac hunting. I bought a MacBook Pro last May after using windows systems for years and years. Total frustrated by windows lack of processing simple jobs with out locking up and having to ctrl-alt-del or completely restart. The MacBook Pro was a little more than I wanted to spend, but after hours of convincing my wife I made the switch to Mac. It has been the best computer I have ever owned!
It is flawless in booting up and being ready to go.
Easy compatibility with my digital camera I did not even need to install the Kodak software iPhoto reads the pictures just fine and away we go. IMovie makes it just as easy take your video and edit and make really cool movies out of what you have shot on camera or camcorders. The word processing with pages works very well and there are other great free open source word processing programs for Mac like open office.
From ITunes to being able to bluetooth my Cel phone and quickly get all my contacts off address book has been great. My wife has been so impressed she now has a Macbook and we have a Mac mini at home.
Every area of the MacBook Pro has exceeded my expectations.
