Just What I Wanted!
This is a review of the Apple Macbook Pro model MB766LL/A.
I've been shopping for a notebook for quite some time. There really is a lot of junk out there. Having used a Powerbook G4 and the first version of the Macbook Pro I began to look into purchasing a Windows based notebook for Visual Studio development.
I tried the HP dv7t a Dell XPS m1530 and a Sony FW390. The Sony was quite nice but Sony support tends to be a bit lacking. Sony also would not guarantee support for the upcoming Windows 7!
In spite of the negatives that I found with these products my final decision to stay with the Apple line was due to the superior hardware that I was always aware of anyway. The multi-touch trackpad the back-lit keyboard bright 17" 1920x1200 LED panel superior fit and finish etc. All this and more just adds up to one superior product. And I have not even addressed the advantages of OSX Leopard and the upcoming Snow Leopard.
I briefly considered a Unibody MBP but the price discount of roughly $1000.00 for this unit and the awful glassy screens on the new ones made the choice very easy for me.
Oh and I like a button on my trackpad too!More detail ...
