New Apple MacBook Pro Reviewed
adeelarshad82 writes "As fate would have it, an Intel chipset glitch delayed shipments of almost every laptop manufacturer, save one. Apple, which has typically been last in transitioning to new technology, is now among the first to launch laptops with Sandy Bridge. The Apple MacBook Pro (Thunderbolt) is the fastest laptop out there. Powered with a Quad-core Core i7 processor and AMD Radeon HD 6750M, the MacBook Pro has a lot of fire power to offer. Unfortunately though it is still a bit expensive and there is a lack of Thunderbolt devices to take advantage of the new interface."
You can find comparable (except the lightpeekyboo) laptops of decent build quality for about $800. You could throw it in the trash every year and buy a new one with the latest greatest cpu, etc. Instead, you pay iSteve. Yes, its your dough now but please don't whine to anybody that you don't have rent money, can't pay the heat or a/c bill, have no money for the kids edukation or are defaulting on your college loans and then come looking for a handout. Before you say 'troll' think about how many of your Apple friends are just managing to get by - or worse hit you up for money - yet dump tons of coin on MBP, iPads, etc.
