I am thinking of buying this Mac Pro — and this would be my first foray into the MAC world. How is the battery and the wear and tear on this computer? Also, is the MAC compatible with other PC’s in terms of file sharing? Thanks for the review– has helped me a lot!

I saw a macpro yesterday at the apple store and I would really like to know how efficient does it handle the generated heat (especially with two video cards and 4 GB of memory)in comparision to any non-mac laptops that has many openings for cooling purposes beneath them…

I was wondering, I’ve been doing a lot of research on the specs and pricing and for recording is it worth spending about $400 more to get the new refurbished 15” 2.4 Ghz with a 250gb hard drive and 2gb of ram as oppose to the previous generation macbook pro 15” screen with a 2.4Ghz processor, 200gb hard drive and 2gb of ram. Really the only difference as far as specs is the front side bus on the ram and the processor. I dont really care about the graphics as much. But will i notice a difference in speed and is it worth it if i am just going to be doing home recording? Im going to be using logic express.

i recently purchased the 15.4 inch 2,500 dollar macbook pro…i bought this amazing computer for school and there is nothing i could say bad about it. it’s design beats the ugly and old-style looking previous model and the new features and AMAZING graphics card(S) are totally worth purchasing this. i love it, i would never get anything other than it.

I am planning on buying a 17″ with SSD and the faster processor. I’m on a fence about the anti-glare screen. I just bought a MacBook for my girl and I didn’t find the glare a problem. She doesn’t notice it and she has used it far more than I have. As for the black border, I don’t think it looks bad, but I don’t mind the non-black border that the anti-glare 17″ MBP has either. Both are LED displays and should be bright. Apple tells me the anti-glare screens will be special order only for an extra $49. So perhaps I should take a look at the 24″ LED display–is that one glossy or matte? That is LED also, is it not?

Brent,
To answer your question, you can hook up your video camera directly to your external hard drive, it’s plug and play….I didn’t think this was possible until I tried it.

Good review , i went for the 17inch MBP myself for one reason , screen speed and SSD and it really delivers in all departements .The SSD is a great disk if you can live with a relatively finite amount of hard drive space. I use it to work on Mac os X server systems setup optimization and configuration , hence the machines i compare to are MacPro’s Xserves and others.

1) Boot time 14 Seconds and you are here.
2) Ethernet … FAST of course don’t expect SFP speeds but it is there
3) Airport ,good range for our use.
4) Screen quality is very good.
5) Parallels runs flawlessly on this machine. In case someone needs windows somewhere , somehow as a VM for testing.

Aside from the lack of RS232 port that i circumvent this is a great piece of hardware.
