A Solid Computer Gets Faster, February 24, 2011
By Glenn R. Howes (Nashua, NH)

I stopped by my local Apple Store the morning this MacBook Pro was made available to the public and bought one, replacing my over two year old unibody MacBook. These are premium computers, and well made. My old computer, which looks very much like this one, still looked great after two years, with a little scratching on the bottom, and an unfortunate denting of one corner. I do not regret for one minute paying more for a device I use several hours a day, and from which I derive my living.

The strong point of this computer over previous 13 inch unibody MacBooks is the processor. It is noticeably faster at computationally intensive tasks. For example, I have a large application written in the C++ programming language which Xcode on my late 2008 vintage MacBook could compile in 16.5 minutes, this MacBook can do the same task in 8.5 minutes, a nearly doubling of speed. Similiarly, converting a 10 minute MP3 file to AAC in iTunes used to take 21 seconds, now it takes 14 seconds. Unsurprisingly, computer processors have gotten faster. The new processor does tend to heat up fast under full load, so be prepared for more frequent fan noise. more review...
With Thunderbolt Technology, Mac can delivers 10 Gbps/s of transfer speeds in both directions (input/output). It means you can move data up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than with FireWire 800. And thanks to this technology, you'll be able to connect to a high-resolution display from the same port. ny Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port, and you can also connect displays that use DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA connections with an existing adapter. You'll also be able to include your display into a daisy-chained set of peripherals.

This Apple MacBook Pro uses Intel Core i5 dual-core processor, which provides breakthrough digital media management, content creation, and 3D gaming capabilities. With updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the latest Core i5 increases speed automatically for whatever you're doing, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload.

Trackpad on this MacBook Pro has no button so there's more space to move on the large, silky glass surface. It also incorporates Multi-Touch gestures--including swipe, pinch, rotate, and four-finger swipe. And it also now supports inertial scrolling, an intuitive way to scroll through large photo libraries, lengthy documents and long web sites.

This MacBook Pro MC700LL/A has fast performance. HD camera, 720p resolution. It allows you to do video chat and video call in an amazing quality. Pretty cool huh. Stylish design. Almost no virus (actually I don't think there's one). Cool graphics. Best friend for designer.

It doesn't has as many programs as Windows. The price is above average. But as for me, I think it's not a problem, because it's just worth it that much.
