Apple's MacBook Pro Review

This is a summarized post from the full review...

1) decent battery life - surfed the Web, listened to music and engaged in other regular tasks for an impressive 3 hours and 10 minutes before the system went to sleep
2) boots up in about 20 seconds
3) Programs launch without hesitation
4) High-definition "Cars" movie trailer played flawlessly
5) Runs two computing engines at once at a faster clock speed.
6) continuously played a "Thomas the Tank Engine" DVD, the fully charged battery lasted a little over two hours before running out of steam
7) Difference in the power cord
8) With a remote control and its Front Row software, a program designed for watching movies, viewing pictures and listening to music from a distance. The notebook also can be connected to an external monitor or TV, using a built-in DVI port or other optional cables.
9) One particularly neat feature, made available through a software update last week, allows music and pictures stored on other computers to be remotely accessible through Front Row

Downsides to the MacBook...

Apple has switched to a slightly slower optical drive for reading and burning CDs and DVDs and it's also dumped the built-in modem, which might be an inconvenience to anyone without broadband. It's also increased the size of the power adapter.
