Apple Macbook Pro: Best Buy’s Most Popular Business Laptop
Now it’s time to take a look at Best Buy’s small busines laptops. In this section you’ll find a variety of laptops made by Sony, HP, Toshiba, and Apple. Let’s zero in on the Apple Macbook Pro because it has the most number of reviews. The Apple Macbook Pro MC373LL/A is the most popular business laptop because of it’s easy to use and has superior build quality. Also, it costs $2,199.99 which is very expensive! People often ask me why Mac’s are so expensive. Simple answer? With Mac’s you get what you pay for. Apple charges so much because they build systems with the highest end components. Buy a Mac and you’ll discover that they often last 7, 10, or 15 years before they wear out. You spending more on the front end but won’t need an upgrade for at least five years. If you don’t need a new system every 2 or 3 years buying a Mac can actually save you money in the long run.User Opinions
The Apple Macbook Pro MC373LL/A now has 14 total reviews with a 5 star rating at Best Buy. You can immediately tell that this machine is very popular because most other laptops only have 11, 8, and 3 total reviews.
Positives > One thing’s for sure – Mac buyers always end up loving their purchases. Having worked on and owned multiple Macs I’ve seen first hand that the extra cost of buying a Mac is worth it in the long run. One buyer said he bought the MC373LL/A and couldn’t be happier. He explained that the setup was absolutely painless and that he loved the awe-inspiring design. People love the back-lit keyboard, speed, picture quality, and long 5 hour battery life. One reviewer explained that he watches high def / blue ray videos with the display on full brightness and gets 4-5 hours of total battery life.
From a multitasking perspective one buyer says that he runs a virtual machine, HD video, web browser and IM application without a noticeable drop in performance. Most people know these days that Macs can easily run any Windows, Linux, Unix, or Mac application out there.
Over and over people explain that “everything is excellent on this computer.” They call the laptop body a piece of art with nothing missing. The MC373LL/A is one of laptops that amazes enough people that they end up switching from Windows to a Mac. “This thing makes using the computer fun again. Do NOT make the price a factor in your purchase, this was worth every penny!! Buy this computer today, you will NOT be disappointed.” These comments are all over the place under Best Buy reviews.
Another gentleman is a music producer and needed an upgrade from his 6 year old G5. When he used Pro Tools on his old system he could barely get through a 48 track recording session. He bought this laptop, installed the software, and it handled everything “like a breeze.” He was totally amazed. No doubt this Macbook pro is pricy but, as he says,” it’s a Mac.” That reviewer got 6 years of life out of his old machine without any issues.
Negatives > Only two negatives: the high $2,100 price and the fact that the trackpad can be a bit trickly getting used to. Not bad. It’s a Mac. No surprises.
