Apple MacBook Pro MC118LL/A 15.4-Inch Laptop Reviewed by T. J. Oh (Boulder, CO, USA)

I switched to Mac about 5 years ago and I use several Mac (Powerbook G4 1.66 GHz, 2.0 GHz Mac mini, MacBook Pro, 2.5 GHz (pre-unibody) Unibody Macbook Pro 2.66 GHz). I manually updated the MBP with Seagate Momentus 7200 RPM (no anti-shock version) with 500 GB and has been great so far. The model monocoque construction quality appears to be significantly better than previous versions, and the larger trackpad is a joy to use.
I compared the response speed of the system with the standard 5200 rpm and 7200 rpm hard drive, and noted that 7200 rpm hard drive significantly improves the performance of this machine. I have heard that the solid state drive for even better results if you provide can afford it, you can select the SSD. HDD at 7200 rpm, make sure that it could trigger an anti-shock hard drives do not purchase (in Seagate case, the G-models), for which there are plenty of stories of how technology anti-shock HDD is in conflict with Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor.
The appearance of the laptop is nice and all is well constructed (inside, outside). In addition, it runs Mac OS X 
This is the best laptop I've ever owned.
Pro Tip: Using Mac OS X, solid build quality, excellent battery life, 4GB of memory standard
Cons: you need to buy Mini DisplayPort - DVI, VGA adapters are sold separately, Spot trackpad centered on the display of the keyboard, not in the middle, in terms of the space bar

| Review by I am (Florida) 2010-03-05 If you are considering buying a netbook for a travel computer take a look at this one instead. It is a full feature laptop ( 1.3mhz Centrino 2 chip...) no bigger than a legal pad. The only thing it lacks is an internal DVD drive, but there are dozens of external USB powered DVD drives available (i.e. HP 556s ...) to take along if you need one. I go... Read more reviews | ||

When you first get this thing and power it up you will notice that it really doesn't come with a lot of bloatware. Most of it is Asus Utilities that help make using it easier. I uninstalled most...

| Review by Dan (Virginia) 2010-03-02 Very happy with this purchase. Bought as a second computer to use mainly for web browsing and media applications such as iTunes. The performance is surprisingly good, probably due to the combination of the SU4100 processor, 4 GB RAM and Windows 7. This thing boots up and loads web pages lightning fast compared with my more powerful laptop (which... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by John J. Maiers (USA) 2010-03-09 I have owned this computer for six weeks now and am very happy. For a very light 3.5 lb computer to have 4 gigs of memory and a 500 gig hard drive is amazing. The battery will last 5 or 6 hours, not 8 as advertised in normal use, still very good. The wi-fi seems particularly efficient. The only problem I have had is that the system boots up with... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by Dae Lim Lee (USA) 2010-02-08 Perfect size, battery, speed!! Have it for over a month now. Initially I was going to get 1810T but it was out of stock. Also it's $100 more expensive now. This one is equally good and a lot cheaper, plus, I prefer the silver over black or blue. This one doesnt get finger print. So far I am very pleased!!... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by Michael Watkins (Knoxville, TN USA) 2010-02-23 I chose this Acer 11.6 inch laptop over a netbook, because I wanted a small, lightweight form factor, but with real computing power, so I could do more than just surf the net. Pros: Lightweight, vey portable. Intel Core 2 Duo processor much more powerful than Atom processors in netbooks. Plenty of RAM and large hard d... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by Friendtilltheend (Houston,TX) 2010-02-09 I've owned this computer for 3 months and it's doing a great job. It's pricy,but seems a really good quality build. I ordered mine maxed out in mem 4GB and harddrive 320.It's proclaimed 8 hr battery life may be close IF you don't use the bluetooth for mouse access. I'd recommend it to anyone needing or just wanting a really top end netbook with all... Read more reviews | ||
