Reviews for the Apple Macbook Pro (15")

Apple 15.4-inch MacBook Pro Notebook
Source: Comp Reviews English Archive.org version
While Apple's 15.4-inch MacBook Pro certainly is quite expensive, it does offer some outstanding performance in a very thin and light package that is also stylish and durable. Sure, it is possible to get a PC with similar features for less, but it will likely be in a larger laptop that also uses a fair amount of plastics for its case.

Apple’s laptop workhorse gets updated, and the result is mighty impressive. This month, Apple rolled out updates to both the MacBook and MacBook Pro. Of the two, the new MacBook Pro offers more talking points; the chips have been replaced, not just sped up, and the trackpad now includes all those lovely Multi-touch gesture controls we first saw on the iPhone and, more recently, the MacBook Air.

Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
This is Apple's second try with an Intel processor in their flagship notebook and the results are much better. I am not sure what exactly went wrong with the Core Duo MacBook Pro's quality control, but there were widespread reports of issues, not to mention my own trials and tribulations with four different units. So far in the few months that the Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro has been available, there have been no widespread reports of serious issues. I think Apple seriously upped the ante with this revision. Not only did they solve their quality control issues, but they also addressed several of the other gripes I had with the previous version by adding more RAM, dual-layer burner, and larger hard drive as standard equipment. Now if they would only add a couple more USB ports the machine would be near perfect.

The MacBook Pro is a good system that'll satisfy most users. But those who don't need a large screen or strong gameplay will find the standard MacBook offers pretty much identical speed for a fraction of the cost.

80% Is the premium in price worth it?
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
One of the problems Apple will have to face is that using the same base specification as many Windows machines you can no longer place a premium on it. So, for the asking price of £1699 (inc. VAT), this isn’t the most affordable notebook in the world but you do get Apple’s usual high-standard finish and the options are great. If you’re after a premium machine and are willing to pay for it, you won’t feel as if you’ve over paid for it with the MacBook pro.

70% Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo)
Source: Laptop Mag English Archive.org version
There's a new dream machine for Apple fans: The MacBook Pro has been updated with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, along with more RAM and hard drive storage. We got our hands on this top-of-the-line 15-inch model, a thing of beauty clad in sleek aluminum. It didn't post the performance numbers we expected, but we suspect it will still be snapped up by devoted creative professionals. Still only one-inch thin, the MacBook Pro remains one of the lightest notebooks with a 15.4-inch widescreen display. This 5.6-pound notebook is excellent for home and office use but is portable and compact enough to take on the road.

80% An update for Apple’s Intel-powered consumer laptop
Source: vnunet.com English Archive.org version
Apple’s computer range runs from basic desktops through to high-end Macbook Pro notebooks, but it’s the relatively cheap MacBook that steals the show. The latest breed of Macbook, now with Intel’s Core 2 Duo processors providing the oomph, is an update of 2006's dual-core version introduced last year. Outwardly, not much has changed from last years Macbook, apart from the replacement of the Core Duo processor with the more recent and faster Core 2 Duo.

85% Apple MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Source: Digital Trends English Archive.org version
The MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo is a fantastic laptop for professionals, average users and students with a more generous budget. The fact that the C2D model is the second generation of the MacBook Pro line, it is implicitly understood that all the bugs from the first-generation MacBook Pro (excessive heat, wireless troubles, MagSafe temps, etc.) have been properly ironed out. After 400 hours of using the MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, not a single bug has presented itself. Absolutely nothing caught the attention of this hyper-sensitive and picky user. While the MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo is aesthetically the same as the original MacBook Pro, the upgrade to the Core 2 Duo processor is more than significant. It represents a massive increase in processor power and, no matter what applications you use on a regular basis, your productivity and/or efficiency is bound to experience a boost.

Following on from the original MacBook Pro, this new revision is externally unchanged. But Apple has replaced the 2GHz Core Duo with a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo, and installing Windows with the aid of Apple's Boot Camp produced a gratifyingly high benchmark score of 1.29, with accompanying battery life times of 2hrs 52mins under light use and 1hr 50mins under intense use.

Source: CNet English Archive.org version
The MacBook Pro was introduced earlier this year with Intel's Core Duo processor, and now Apple's high-end laptop gets a boost to Intel's latest-and-greatest processor, the Core 2 Duo. Other than the updated CPU, the rest of the MacBook Pro remains largely the same, with appreciated bumps to the memory and the hard drive. There are two 15-inch versions that use either a 2.16GHz or a 2.33GHz CPU, as well as a 17-inch version with the 2.33GHz chip. Apple supplied us with the 2.33GHz 15-inch model, which has a base price of $2,499. Our review unit features memory and hard drive upgrades, which bring the price to $3,174. While the performance gains aren't game-changing, anyone who recently purchased a Core Duo MacBook Pro is doubtlessly gnashing their teeth right now, but this move to Core 2 Duo removes one of the last objections some buyers felt about plunking down for a Mac laptop.

90% Apple Macbook Pro 15-inch (Core 2 Duo)
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
Many of us were excited by Apple's switch to Intel Core Duo processors, and even more of us were surprised when Intel bumped its mobility chip up to the new Core 2 Duo in the months that followed. Almost every single Windows-based laptop manufacturer launched new systems or made some sort of product announcement because of the transition—but Apple dragged its feet. When the company finally started adding Core 2 Duo processors to its systems in August, only the desktop iMacs got the upgrade. Faithful Apple-laptop enthusiasts have been waiting for the Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo) announcement ever since. The last couple of months have seemed like an eternity to some, but now that the MacBook Pro 15-inch with Core 2 Duo ($2,499 direct) is here on my workbench, I can confidently say that its excellent performance and features, tied to a very solid operating system, were worth the wait.

It seems the only thing this MacBook doesn't tackle is floors.

I am very pleased with this notebook overall. I do believe there is room for improvement for things like a higher resolution screen, a little less sensitivity on the trackpad, and a better approach to cooling. With Apple luring more switchers than ever I think they may be forced to change things like their cooling, which I would welcome. You can already see this with the inclusion of right clicks on all their portables. In the end I would have to give this an 8/10.

Minor crashes in the first week of use during setup. Appears quite stable now. Required RAM upgrade for peak performance. Summary: This is a state of the art machine. It is beautiful to look at and meets all of my business and personal needs.

Hot on the heels of the iMac, Apple's MacBook Pro is the first in its range of notebook computers to get the Intel makeover. This next generation notebook has replaced the older G4 processor with the new Intel Core Duo processor and the difference in terms of speed can certainly be seen. Our Macbook Pro contained a 2GHz Intel processor (a 1.83GHz model is also available), 1Gb of memory, 100Gb hard disk, a 15.4 widescreen display and a 256Mb ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card.The Apple Macbook Pro is a fantastic example of notebook computing and an improvement on older PowerBooks. Just be warned of current compatibility issues.

The basic chassis design of the MacBook Pro is nothing new, having been around in the form of the PowerPC-based PowerBook for several years. It's a wide metal-finish machine with a 1,440 x 900 resolution display. The width alone places it outside the realms of an ultraportable. Factor in the 2.54kg weight and you've got something that, while certainly portable, makes its presence felt on your shoulder. An Intel-based Mac is still a Mac, but its reassuring Intel heart makes it tempting as a mobile Windows alternative. Beware the price, though, particularly if you need Microsoft Office.

Apple MacBook Pro Test
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
This laptop is extremely cool. For someone like me that means warm fuzzies and no buyers remorse. It is kind of crazy that last week I was a lifelong user and builder of PC computers and now I own my first notebook and also my first Mac. So far, I have no regrets. I will always own a PC, but OS X has impressed me a lot. My first pang of "uh oh" hit when I ran 3DMark05, but I still feel like the computer has enough juice to play games for the next couple of years. More importantly, it's smaller and quieter than the other options I looked at which I feel more than makes up for it. Perhaps this notebook is more expensive than other options out there, but none of them are quite this small, quite this cool, and still pack quite this much punch. In my opinion, the Acer 8204 is the only thing that comes close (right now anyway) and it is priced very similarly.

If your precious PowerBook G4 means the world to you, then brace yourself: This fabulous design just got repackaged with some Intel firepower. The MacBook Pro (15-inch) is the new standard for Mobile Mac users. Gone are the slow IBM PowerPC processors, and in come the Intel Core Duo processors, raising the Mac performance bar like never before. For consumers, this is a huge deal. But graphics and media professionals should wait until their essential software apps are updated to universal binary (to be optimized for Intel-based systems).

On paper Apple has created a competitive product in the MacBook. Now that these Intel based systems are known and their specifications disclosed I think you can see that the notion of Apple having over-priced systems is not true. You can argue with elements of their value proposition such as the bundled software, but for a lot of people those features are deal breakers. I keep a Mac around just to have iLife and I consider the $70 Apple charges for the latest version of the stand alone software to be a good value (especially considering the $150 price tag of Photoshop/Premiere Elements).

Comment

ATI Mobility Radeon X1600: ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 is a middle class graphic card for notebooks of the X1000 series. Its performance can be compared with NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)


T2500: » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.20":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

Apple is one of the most valuable companies in the world and has a loyal following of customers and fans. The company also has a strong presence in the entertainment industry, with services like Apple Music and Apple TV+. In 2023, Apple had an approximate 8% market share of global PC sales, ranking it 4th after Lenovo, HP, and Dell.


82.3%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
