Star Review: MacBook Pro 13"
Linked by Eddyspeeder on Tue 6th Oct 2009 22:01 UTC
Apple Late June 2009 I bought a 13" MacBook Pro (2.26 GHz, 4 GB RAM). I suppose that after just three months, the blinding "first joys" over getting a laptop have worn off. By now, I deem my thoughts about this device to be realistic and of an appropriate level. The past few weeks I attained mastery over the Mac OS through personal discovery, accompanied by a very insightful book; I bought additional software and hacked the Dock to suit my preferences.

Eddy seems ok with your comments, but why not show a little graciousness when your post is shown to be based on misunderstanding of grammar and lack of awareness of the Chrome OS, instead of continuing with playground fanboy name-calling?

Yes, it may seem a largely one-sided article, but there's very little to complain about on the MacBook Pro - you know the price and the styling when you go to the shop. It's a great little laptop whatever OS you choose to run on it.

I *did* do my utmost to catch all the downsides though ;-) But indeed, coming up with other improvements is tough. As someone else already pointed out, these laptops have a history of minor changes accumulating to a lot of goodies. The version I have even hardly differs from the late 2008 series, so either the design team must either be out of options or it is working on radical new stuff.

As for the tone of the original post - I'd rather figure out where the problem lies, rather than than fueling a flame thread. It's not that I'm necessarily "okay" with it, but I see merit in remaining reasonable (we all have our bad days, right? some of my posts have been voted down too).
