Macbook Service Plan
Does anyone own a Macbook Pro?
Tell me all of what you enjoy with your Macbook Pro, whether 15' screen or 17'
Elaborate on Customer service.
If your Mac needs to be repaired, how much do you plan to spend on repairing your Mac.
how attractive is your Mac? How attractive is the OS?
XP has always been an attractive OS, not to mention Vista.
Aside from the simple fact that Mac OS does not get virsues, what else would you recommend Mac over a PC?
Give me some details about what you can do with your Mac that you couldn't do with a PC. Plus, note that PC has been using Intel before Mac. I wonder why Mac switched.
I enjoy virtually every aspect of my MacBook Pro. I normally use a 17" version which is very good. It is easy to use, the screen is bright and crisp, and the battery lasts fairly long, even though it does not have an extended battery pack. The iLife suite of applications that came bundled with the comptuer integrate perfectly and are easy to use. Although they are very simple applications, you can still make movies, slideshows, photoablums, and much more. The iSight camera is also a very nice to have.
I would say that Apple customer service is above average. I have called Apple on multiple occasions, and the hold times were always shorter than 10 mintues (the last time I called dell, they placed me on hold for 40 minutes...). Service, at least in my experiences, has been very quick. When I need to get a part replaced under warranty, the had a pre-paid box overnighted to me and the computer was back in my hands less than 72 hours after I had sent it in. (The apple people said the time it takes for them to repair the computer varies, depending on how many units they are repairing and the availbility of parts...so it might take a bit longer if you need to send yours in).
The overall design of the MBPs are very simple. There is not a whole lot of difference between the 15" and the 17" models, besides an extra USB port on the 17" model. The aluminum casing makes it stand out from all the other plastic clad laptops of Dell, HP, and Sony. The look of the OS is similar to Vista, with some transparent surfaces; most of the windows have a brushed-aluminum look to them. The OS seems to be very easy to use.
One of the differences betwee OS X and Windows (besides being less vulnerable to spyware and viruses) is that it does not need extremely high end hardware to run well, like Windows Vista. The current edition of Mac OSX runs plenty fast with 1GB of RAM and a 2Ghz Core Duo processor.
With an Intel Mac (not PPC Macs) you have the ability to boot both Windows and Mac OSX either through Bootcamp or Parallels.
Although being slightly more expensive than comprable Window PCs, you get what you pay for with a Mac. The design of the MBPs sets it aside from virtually all other PCs in its class. Apple includes little touches, such as back-lit keyboard, an ambient light sensor that changes the contrast of the display depending on lighting conditions to maximize battery life, and motion sensors that are designed to prevent HDD damage if the laptop falls that many computer makers do not include in their laptops. Hope this helps...
