      Apple MacBook Pro 2.4GHz (Late 2008) review

      By Andrew Harrison

      Review summary: Apple's new Unibody MacBook Pro gains a better chassis but loses out on screen legibility. So how does it measure up?

      Verdict: The biggest disappointment with Apple's new MacBook Pro remains the withdrawal of the non-reflective matt screen option on the notebook's display. And for anyone familiar with recent pre-Unibody models of Apple's MacBook Pro, there is no appreciable ...

      First Look: Apple MacBook Pro

      By Will Stapley

      Review summary: Outstanding design, but price is still the major stumbling block

      Verdict: There is no doubt the MacBook Pro has some impressive new features, but whether this will be enough to persuade high-end corporate users to make the switch from Windows is another matter. And at £1,749 for this 2.53GHz model it is expensive - we ...

      MacBook Pro 2.4GHz review

      Review summary: Apple's new MacBook Pro may share the same aluminium colour as its predeceossor, but that's where all similarities end. Our review of the new MacBook Pro 2.4GHz explains why this radically different laptop is worth serious attention.

      Pros: Thin, rounded design ; easier to service and upgrade ; ecologically conscious ; gorgeous, bright, glossy screen ; retains FireWire port ; large trackpad with numerous multi-touch gesture choices ; great new keyboard ; powerful graphics processor

      Cons: No choice of matte screen ; trackpad button can be hard to press ; disappointing battery life compared to the last model ; some multi-touch gestures more difficult to maneuver than others

      Verdict: Upon the first look at the new MacBook Pro 2.4GHz, you could be forgiven for thinking little has changed. It still shares the same size and aluminium colour of its predecessor, but that's where all similarities end.

      MacBook Pro (15-inch, late 2008)

      By Wallace Wang

      Review summary: The MacBook Pro has always been the bigger, faster, more advanced (and more expensive) version of the MacBook. While most people will ...
