The good:

  • Beautiful, sleek design
  • Robust software package, including Mac OS X Tiger
  • Illuminated keyboard and big, scrollable touch pad
  • Multimedia features include DVD burner, built-in Webcam, and remote control
  • Can run Windows XP via Boot Camp

The bad:

  • Nonnative software runs slowly on Mac OS
  • Subpar battery life
  • Lacks media card reader and some other ports
  • Higher-end configurations are much more expensive than their PC equivalents
  • Only 90 days of toll-free technical support

The bottomline:

The MacBook Pro delivers unparalleled style, a solid set of features and software, and a few transitional performance issues that keep it from rivaling the most powerful PC laptops.
