Unchanged Excellent Aluminum Case, Outstanding Keyboard and Touchpad, Good Screen (except for reflections), Quiet Under Light Use
No Matte Screen Available, CPU Downsampling und Heavy Use (Windows), No CPU Turbo Boost in Windows
The extra cost for this more powerful version will really only prove worthwhile for very few users who would probably want an SSD in place as the hard drive as well—which, however, provides for a big boost in speed for any user...
Great overall performance, Decent 3D gaming performance, Amazing battery life, Excellent-quality display, Elegant design, Thunderbolt technology, Sturdy "unibody" design, Multi-touch gesture trackpad, Great Keyboard
Battery is not removable, 1,280x800 native resolution, Fan Can Get Noisy Under Load, No Thunderbolt peripherals available yet
All in all, the new MacBook Pro impressed us on many fronts, not just its performance. It's got a great-looking design, has one of the sturdiest chassis we've seen, a fantastic-looking display, and a keyboard and trackpad that are a pleasure to use. We're...
Speedier processor. Thunderbolt port for a little future proofing. High-def FaceTime camera records 720p video in iMovie. FireWire is still around.
At 1440x900, 13-inch MacBook Air has a higher-resolution display. Built-in battery can’t be removed. No matte display option.
The MacBook Pro is a dream laptop, delivering more power than the Air and more bells and whistles too—the FireWire and Ethernet ports the Air lacks completely, plus that fancier FaceTime camera, and our personal favorite, the backlit keyboard. Thunde...
Stylish And Sturdy Design, Excellent Keyboard, Long Battery Life
Display Panel Offers Below Average Resolution, Glossy Screen Hard To Use In Certain Light, Thunderbolt Adapters Not Included

Solid aluminum unibody skeleton
Solid state drives not included on standard package (128GB SSD can be purchased for additional $250), Only upgradable to 8GB of system memory, No antiglare display option on 13" version (option available on 15" and 17 versions)
After only a week of use, I am getting more comfortable in the OSX environment and how to perform everyday tasks that I would normally do in Windows 7. Being a PC enthusiast, I have a great appreciation for devices that are simple to use and provide the u...

Core i5 processor is a long time coming. Gorgeous Unibody enclosure. Thunderbolt is in its early stages, but it looks promising. Webcam now streams in HD and works with Facetime app. Backlit keyboard. Glass Clickpad has no equals.
Pricey. No improvement in graphics performance. Higher screen resolution not available.
The Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (Thunderbolt) will continue to be Apple's best selling laptop, thanks to a component overhaul and new technologies like Thunderbolt and FaceTime HD. Buy it now...
