And again here's review from Apple MacBook Pro MA611LL/A 17" Notebook PC , this review from an amazon customer, and I hope this review Helpul for you .
here's the review :
The MacBook Pro 17 Core 2 Duo is a nice little machine. Were it a PC, I'd give it five stars on most every count. Unfortuantely, I'm coming from a Powerbook 17 which was a perfect machine, speed aside, and so I hold it to this standard.
Firstly, the display is not as nice as the Powerbook's. The brightness is not at all uniform between the center and edges of the screen. It looks very much like a mid-range conventional PC notebook in this regard.
Secondly, when running CPU-intensive tasks, the machine is far louder than the Powerbook. The fan gets to sound about like a PC desktop, but higher-pitched. The Powerbook 17 was probably about half as loud at full speed. It's definitely enough that you don't want it in the same room if you're doing any kind of recording work.
Next, the boot and hibernation times are longer than the Powerbook. I know I've seen videos showing the MacBook Pro starting up more quickly than the Powerbook, however with the same software installed on both there's a definite longer period. It's just enough that I find I don't casually flip it shut anymore.
Lastly, while your results may vary, mine died within three weeks and is now out for service. The airport became increasingly less responsive at first, and then the whole machine started locking hard at irregular intervals -- not a spinning beachball, but a full hard lock where everything freezes and a power cycle is needed. It continued doing this even during a software reinstall, and Apple tells me that it will take about two weeks for me to get it fixed or replaced. In retrospect, I wish I'd waited to see that this iteration was solid before buying.
All this aside, the machine does pack a bigger punch than the Powerbook 17 when working. Applications are considerably smoother, games run well, and I end up doing some tasks twice because they complete so quickly that I think I messed up a command or menu option! The huge hard drive is great for so small a machine, and it turns heads in public every bit as much as the beautiful Powerbook 17 did. Further, being able to run Windows apps via Parallels (and soon VMWare!) is useful on occasion, though it's funny how little one has to do that these days.
