Macbook Pro 17-inch

Here’s some high-end portable computing for professionals such as designers and photographers – the powerful, sexy, no-nonsense MacBook Pro 17-inch.

Build
Apple always concentrates on the design of their products more than anything else, so there’s a lot that one can expect. Crafted from a single block of aluminum—which is common to the latest MacBook Pros—the uni-design body is straight lined, yet incredibly stylish. The holes for the built-in speakers are laser-cut, hence precise and they offer that eye-candy and a feel-good factor.

The track pad’s surface is made of glass and it still has a matt finish, which is its most attractive aspect. Although the design and looks are simply excellent, there are a couple of glitches. The sharp edges of the MacBook Pro are a turn off, simply because they’ll give you sore forearms after prolonged usage. Also you can’t use the laptop on your lap, because it turns quite warm after a while. All-in-all it’s a heady mix of style, portability and power.

Features
If you’re a photographer or designer, consider buying the MacBook Pro 17-inch. We reviewed it and noticed that the overall package is impressive, with video and photo editing seamlessly handled by the hardware. The large screen along with the discrete graphics pretty much suffices for the intended audience.
