Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch

Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch
Front Angle Box and Book

review

Apple review, Apple commentary, Apple news... Everything AppleThe MacBook Pro 17-inch, the second Apple branded notebook to receive Intel's powerful Dual Core architecture, offers virtually everything a user needs. It shares many of the same pleasing features found in the smaller MacBook Pro 15-inch model, including Front Row, the MagSafe adapter, the iSight camera, and the iLife '06 suite. And best of all, despite this MacBook's larger 17-inch screen, it's not too difficult to tote.
