Earlier this year, Apple, after a long wait, updated its pro line of laptops by introducing the MacBook Pro, the Intel-powered equivalent of the PowerBook. MacSupport, together with Apple Netherlands, was so kind as to provide OSNews with a MacBook Pro for review purposes. Since Adam bought a MacBook Pro for himself only a few days earlier, we decided to review the machines together. Here are our findings.

* the wireless reception is better than the G4's, they've moved the attenae and I get fantastic reception. Get a decent router instead of some natty DLink.
Great. But read carefully; the reception of the MBP was WORSE than what I got from my G4 iBook. My Dell, and even my PocketPC, has better reception.
What screen have you got? The Macbook Pro can have a glossy screen as *optional*. The matte screen has no viewing angle issues, and infact has a great viewing angle.
Did you read? We clearly stated we both do NOT have the glossy screen.
Other than that, I talked to Apple about the screen, and they CONFIRMED the viewing angle is rather small-- they do that to hinder people looking over your shoulder. Irrelevant to me, I prefer a large viewing angle.
Hefty price? Before my Macbook Pro I had a Sony VAIO for £1500 and it was chunky, loud, ran Windows, had no camera, didn't have the digital optical ports, didn't have a hella cool backlit keyboard, didn't have ambient light sensors and most of all didn't have a magnetic power adapter. For the £1430 I paid for my Macbook Pro it was a friggin bargain.
Great for you, I'm happy for you. My experience was different.
