Silver Apple MB133LL/A 15.4 Inches Laptop Review

Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop

The Apple MB133LL/A laptop is a notebook computer, great for use as a personal computer. Packed with a large 15.4 Inches display and a powerful 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU processor. This Apple laptop model would work well for portability with its 5.4 pounds lightweight design and sleek silver look. Great for gaming, heavy duty processing or a work computer, this laptop is worth the price of $1599.

This Apple MB133LL/A laptop is a powerful computer that is great for more than the average usage. You can use it for development work, play the latest video games, video editing as well as watching movies online such as Netflix, visiting social media networks like Facebook and be able to communicate with friends and family online through programs such as Skype and much more! However, if you are looking for a laptop with a spacious hard drive to store your files, we would not recommend the Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop. Whether you need to write your term paper, catch up on work or create the family budget, this Apple MB133LL/A mobile laptop allows you to multitask with 2GB DDR2 SDRAM and the high end processing power of the 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Though if possible, we do recommend upgrading the system memory down the road to at least 4GB, which will help increase the laptop speed and multi-tasking abilities.

MacBook Pro is even more powerful with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Up to 200GB of storage(2) and 2GB of RAM make the MacBook Pro bigger on the inside and faster than ever. Next-generation NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics and 802.11n-based AirPort Extreme wireless capabilities(3) keep it...Click Here To Read More & Get Latest Offers

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a "Pro" in every sense., March 12, 2008
This review is from: Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop (OLD VERSION) (Personal Computers)
In March 2008, I decided it was time to upgrade from a G4-based laptop to one of the new Intel models. I deliberated back and forth whether the lower priced MacBook would be sufficient or whether to pay the premium for the "Pro" model. Ultimately, I decided upon the MacBook Pro for these reasons.

Construction quality
The aluminum case of the MacBook Pro reminds me of a product made by the Swiss. The build quality is outstanding for a mass-produced device. It feels very substantial, and all the pieces fit together nearly seamlessly. The MacBook's case, however, is made from a high-grade plastic rather than metal. It's nice ... but I found the front edge of the MacBook's case a bit sharp on my wrists as I typed.

Ports
Compared with the MacBook, the MacBook Pro provides an additional USB port plus Firewire 800. The latter is desirable for people who work with video and external drives that have Firewire 800 connectors. The ExpressCard slot is useful for... Read more

Short and Quick Review

This model is worth the 500 difference between the entry level. The screen is beautiful, the new LED Displays are great, better color depth, more color, the laptop doesn't get as hot as previous versions. Everything works, it is very fast, and this laptop replaced 2 high end workstations + 2 high end laptops (A dell with workstation class graphics card, and 17 inch macbook pro). I can edit 1080p high def video in real time with no slow down, edit my 12mp raw files in real time with no slow down. I can play the latest games like Call of Duty 4 maxed out on windows vista at native resolution with no slow down online.

With the beefy 250gb HD, ability to upgrade to 4gb of ram, the 512 graphics card, and 6mb cache, this machine is a complete replacement for me, and revolutionizes my life, work style, and workflow.

It is worth buying, and definitely better than the 2k version, by leaps, read my longer review for more... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Performance, Poor Display, April 19, 2008

This review is from: Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop (OLD VERSION) (Personal Computers)
As my second Apple purchase (first being an IPOD Touch 16GB) I am quite upset. This is my first Macbook and I am Impressed with several things. Performance, Build, Style, Sound, Touch pad responsiveness and Overall quality get perfect 10's in my book. However, the reason for the 2 star rating was the quality of the display.

Do a little researching on YELLOWING and you will know what I'm talking about. The first MBP I received from amazon had about 2 inches of yellow (stained) pixels at the bottom of the screen. I brought it to the apple store and the guy noticed it and offered a replacement, warning me that if I take the replacement I am risking getting a worse display. He opened a brand new box for me and the display had no yellowing but had BRIGHT SPOTS all over the place. This affected more of the middle of the screen so I went back a second time for my third replacement. This MBP has also disappointed me because it also has YELLOWING on about the bottom third of the... Read more
