I can back up this Author's claims about the MacBook Pro. I've owned two of them now and they are great machines. PC fanboys think they are nothing special but they are wrong. Apple's "don't fix what's not broken" approach to the MacBook engineering has made the device perennially great. They don't change it for change's sake, and they don't follow the latest fads in computing, which is ironic because PC fanboys think the MacBook Pro is Fad computing....It's not....it's just a highly optimized, pure laptop experience, with rock solid keyboard, a responsive and accurate track pad that actually works, a great screen, all in a solid aluminum unibody chassis, with best-in-class battery life. The MacBook Pro is "Laptop" done right.
