Review of the Apple MacBook Pro MB990LL
The specs on the new thirteen inch laptop from Apple, the Apple MacBook Pro MB990LL, includes a 2.26GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor and it is upgradeable from the 2GB of DDR3 RAM to 8GB. These features, in addition to the 160GB hard drive storage on the laptop make it one of the most desirable consumer laptops. The glossy, thirteen inch screen displays images and videos using 1280 x 800 resolution. Despite these great specs, there are some who are not fully convinced that it is as good as they claim.
Everybody seems to admire the uni-body casing of aluminum and multi-task features, Mac OS and overall design. There is no dispute- they are impressive and make the Apple MacBook Pro MB990LL a tastefully designed laptop. All consumers aren't willing to go on looks alone, however, and some of them seem to be more likely to point out that there are laptops that cost less money, but give you more than this MacBook Pro.
The glossy surface on this laptop gets mixed reviews since some thought it was superb in the right lighting conditions and others thought it created glare and reflections in certain types of lighting conditions. The facts that there is no number pad on the normal-sized keyboard and that the battery is not meant to be removable are specs that were bothersome, in certain cases.
The Mac OS is superior to the OS on other laptops- that is not a disputed fact. The multi-tasking presentation is what makes the Mac OS preferred. Many consumers are pleased that Apple has made improvements over the first 13" aluminum MacBook they launched. The reduced selling price is another thing that consumers are happy about, reducing the price by an impressive $100.
The seven hour battery life is a definite upgrade on the MacBook Pro, but some consumers report they only got six hours, which was a disappointment. The MacBook Pro's battery is difficult to remove and the noticeably short power cord was inconvenient. The SD card sticks out too far and most consumers think it shouldn't be that way.
There are consumers who are disappointed with this laptop. However, in all fairness there was a lot of hype surrounding the launch of the MacBook Pro. Expectations may have been unrealistically high. One of the criticisms was the difficulty in using the cursor control. It was also found that the dialog books were too many.
If there was one feature that all consumers found to be impressive it was the uni-body enclosure. Multiple parts are used to construct notebooks. However, the MacBook Pro is made of a single part. This is completely unique and considered as groundbreaking. In other words, the uni-body is one piece of aluminum. The manufacturer shapes and works this piece into the uni-body with its incorporated keyboard.
It is an unbelievably thin and lightweight laptop that is easily portable, yet strong and durable enough to use indoors or out. The preloaded software includes Apple Mac's Leopard OS, iTunes, iLife 09, Garageband, iPhoto and iMovie, which many consumers liked and considered a bonus on the Apple MacBook Pro.
