Quick review

The good
Screen, trackpad, design
The bad
It's massive, battery isn't replaceable
Verdict
For those who need a big screen and long battery life on the move this is a great improvement over the previous model

  • I am looking very closely at the 15". That will do all the work need and more. Posted by Stewart, UK
  • I'd like to get a fully loaded MBP17. 256 Gb SSD, 8 Gb RAM, and a 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. Then I'd call it a desktop replacement. Of course, I'd still drag it to the airport with me. It'd be a pain, but the Air's battery won't last for the flights I take. Posted by Dayne, US
