The good:

  • Beautiful, sleek design
  • Big, bright display
  • Dual-core CPU
  • Robust software package, including Mac OS X Tiger
  • Illuminated keyboard and scrollable touch pad
  • DVD burner
  • Built-in Webcam
  • Remote control
  • Can run Windows XP using Apple's free Boot Camp utility

The bad:

  • Lacks media card reader and some other ports
  • Only 90 days of toll-free technical support

The bottomline:

With a solid array of components, a terrific set of features, and the lightest weight of any laptop its size, Apple's 17-inch MacBook Pro is a power user's dream, but it doesn't come cheap.
