Elegant design, Relatively thin and light, Excellent bundled software, Good battery life
Not the fastest performer, No high-def DVD option, Expensive
The Apple MacBook Pro proves that a desktop replacement notebook doesnt have to be a behemoth. Weighing just 6.8 pounds and measuring about an inch thick, this sleek system delivers a 17-inch widescreen and plenty of extras. The simple brushed-aluminu...

Lightest 17-inch laptop weve seen; has a built-in Webcam and a remote control; can run Windows XP via Boot Camp; adds FireWire 800 support.
Lacks media card reader; comes with only 90 days of toll-free technical support.

Labsence de port eSata, La HD toujours oubliée, Le prix
Mise à jour naturelle, pour ne pas dire de saison. Toujours aussi séduisant, le MacBook Pro se refait une jeunesse en adoptant des composants plus puissants, plus dans lair du temps. A commencer par le dernier processeur Core 2 Duo gravé à 45 nanomètr...

Apples mobile Rechner glänzen zumeist mit sehr guter Verarbeitung" so auch das größte MacBook Pro mit kleinen Abstrichen. Bei den knarzenden Scharnieren und dem leicht verbogenen Displaydeckel im geschlossenen Zustand gibt es Punktabzug. Für knapp 2.8...
