    CNET Editors' review

    Excellent
    • THE GOOD

      New aluminum unibody construction looks good, feels solid; giant trackpad; attractive edge-to-edge glass on display; new dual graphics provide more power or more battery life.

    • THE BAD

      All-clicking trackpad is a bit awkward, at least initially; the extra-glossy screen won't appeal to everyone; switching GPUs not as seamless as it should be; similar performance to the cheaper 13-inch MacBook; still no media card slot.

    • THE BOTTOM LINE

      Apple's redesigned 15-inch MacBook Pro boasts a redesigned aluminum body that's stunning, thin, and sturdy; a new trackpad with expanded functionality; and a dual graphics setup for either longer battery life or better performance, but there's now less incentive to spend extra for it because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.

    This is probably my 6th computer, 5th laptop, and second Macbook.
    I bought the MacBook Air in 2008 and it was brilliant. It served me well, but it was not potent enough for my needs.
    Luckily, I've found this MBP and other than battery life, it is by far the best piece of machinery I've ever owned.
    Once you go Apple, or lit keyboard rather, you never go back!
    Battery life lasts for about two hours, which is pretty good for a three year old machine that runs so smoothly with the backup light, and keyboard light on. It's acceptable for something this powerful to suck up a lot of battery.
    I am now able to get all the editing and work done I need. Psshh...no offense, but this Mac is also capable of running Windows 7, much better than any other Windows machine I've owned in the past.

    It's size and weight are also perfect for me. Words can't describe how happy I am with my purchase!!!

    This is my third MacBook Pro 15.4" This is my first uni-body MacBook Pro. I really liked the previous MacBook Pro's having an Express Card slot. This late 2008 MacBook Pro is the only 15.4" uni-body MacBook Pro that has an Express Card slot. Following this model, Apple replaced the Express Card slot with a SD card slot.

    You can put an Express Card in that has a SD card slot, but if you only have a SD card slot, an SD card is the only thing you can put in it. I own 5 Express Cards, including one with a SD Card Slot. I have an Express Card that has an e-sata port, and 4 USB 2.0 ports, all of which I use most of the time.

    I have maxed out all of the MacBook Pro's I have owned. This one allows me to upgrade to 8mb of memory and a 1 TB hard drive. For my use, I prefer this model over a brand new model 15.4" MacBook Pro. I also have Parallels installed with Windows XP. I do video processing on the mac. My 1 TB drive is getting a real workout.

    I love this new computer. It's in mint condition and is a huge upgrade from my 13" macbook. The screen resolution is perfect and the new mouse technology is amazing.

    I am a VoIP Engineer and Network Engineer and this machine works great for me! I would recommend this for any IT related person.
    This product blows any PC out of the water with it's reliability, power, quality of product, and style. The biggest plus by far is the support you can get from Apple. Even if you do not have Apple iCare. Apple Tech's are the most helpful tech's I have ever seen, why Microsoft seems to run from their customers, Apple seems to front us right on!
