Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for my son to take to college. He was choosing between a dell and a macbook pro. He talked to his professor at college and they said a macbook pro would be a great choice. The professor at college had them and had to turn them in after 5 years for new one. Nothing was wrong with them they just had to turn them and get new ones.They said it would last well past his college life. He also talked to the best buy sales person who told him the difference between the macbook and dell and said the macbook would last him long past his college years. It was easy for him to set up and get running before classes started.

This Mac is lightweight with a lot of speed. It has a beautiful design

Having been a Mac desktop user in the past, this is my first MacBook Pro laptop. I am very satisfied with the speed, functionality and ease of use. I realize there are newer versions of the MacBook available ~ however I selected this one because it has a built in CD drive. Downloads amazingly take only a nanosecond! I highly recommend this product.

This computer is amazing. I wasn't sure about buying it because of the high price but it is really worth it. One of the best features is the battery life which lasts about 7 hours (my last computer's battery lasted an hour and a half). The display is great and I love the sife because it is really comfortable and also easy to transport. It is really easy to use and I love the trackpad!

I bought the Apple-MacBook Pro - Intel i5 13.3 inch Display - 4GB Memory - 500 GB Hard Drive - Silver. It is the perfect size for a laptop-not big/not to small. The set up was extremely easy and it automatically connected to my other Apple devices (sync). I bought it over the Black Friday weekend so the price was right! I am super satisfied!

This product is very easy to navigate and so far I love the product . I had to purchase this computer for school , but I have been told many times this computer will last forever.The features are very appealing , and the sound is great.Battery life is also a plus , and the color of the screen is awesome . I am very happy with my purchase !!!

We have a total of three laptops in our household: Toshiba A505-S6025, Mid-year 2009 Macbook Pro 13 in(SSD upgrade), and the new 2013 Macbook Pro 13 in(SSD upgrade). My old i3 processor Toshiba just sits in the corner collecting dust right now while the two MB's are being used. The reasons why we love using the mac instead of the pc is due to these reasons: reliable OS, long battery life(7 hrs on new MB & 2-3 hrs on old MB), MB speakers sound much better than our toshiba's, MB touchpad is buttery smooth and 100% consistent, 100% reliable sleep mode, blazing fast performance with Samsung 840 SSD upgrade(10-15 second to boot & apps pull up instantly). Our Toshiba has an 1hr battery life, unreliable sleep mode takes forever to pick up wifi and pull up apps and sometimes freezes, crashes, and unreliable touchpad that works when it wants to. The new MBP looks and feels just about the same as our old MBP. The only differences the new MB has are the thunderbolt port and magsafe 2. You can use a magsafe 1 on the new MB, btw. We already tried. Performance wise, we can't see that much of a difference between the two upgraded MB's. At the same time, we don't do any serious video or photo editing. We just netflix, surf the internet, write docs, and read pdf's. If you have an extra $100 bucks to upgrade to an SSD on your MB, do it. It's really worth the upgrade. There are lots of sources online for DIY-ers. Or just bring it into an apple store. We notice a huge difference in how blazingly fast our apps(1 sec for itunes), folders(1 sec), webpages(1sec) load with the SSD. If you have an old 2009 Mid-year MBP and thinking about getting a new MBP, I would suggest keeping your old mac and upgrading to an SSD instead. If you're upgrading from an old pc to new MBP, do it. You'll be very happy with the change to a Mac.

I usually use my Mac for dj and it's amazing it works perfectly it doesn't freeze or mess up at all. I also use at home watch movies and it is outstanding the battery is good lasts awhile and does not get hot at all I will recommend this to anybody it's worth the money!!!

The Mac Book Pro is a durable, fast, easy to use machine!

I actually bought this MacBook Pro for my mom. She absolutely loves it! She had a different MacBook that was about 5 years old, and this new one is faster and easy to use and has such a crisp picture! I love Apple products! Would highly recommend this over a pc any day!

This computer was purchased for college use. The computer is lighter than the one that it is replacing and much faster. Screen resolution is ideal, speed is faster than what was actually needed, hopefully it will make it through 4 years of college. I am considering purchasing one for another family member, very impressive laptop.

Loving my new laptop. It's fast, powerful, and beautiful.

I actually hesitated very much because of the cost and its heaviness, but I am glad that I purchased it. It isn't as heavy as I thought. Since I just bought it i wouldn't know how long it will last me, but i am hoping my all 4 college years and possibly grad school as well. That is what I have been hearing from other mac users as well.

I bought the MacBook Pro to replace my MacBook that I had for nearly 8 years. Already, it shows the durability of Mac that I kept it for 8 years with no serious issues. I purchased the open box MacBook Pro to save a few dollars. Overall I have been impressed and enjoyed it. Transferring my files and profile from my old mac to my new mac was easy and I was able to access them on the new Mac with no problem. I am planning to upgrade the hard drive to a solid state hard drive soon, but I am ok with the current hard drive. Overall I am happy with the purchase and hopefully I will have this laptop for another 8 years.

This is my very first major computer purchase, and i am beyond pleased with how easy it is to navigate through all the new icons in the toolbar. I am also very pleased with the quick speed it possess. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone interested in making the right purchase when it comes to laptops.

Never have I been so impressed with a product. There have been 4 or 5 different brand laptops I have worked with over the years. When I got in the market for a new one and really didn't know what I wanted but I defiantly knew what I didn't. My college aged son told me to go MAC! He was so right! I have had it over 3 months and it is wonderful. It's easy to use and so versatile. Re-training myself to use the apple software required no "training" at all. The software is so logical that whatever you are looking for is right where you would think it might be. The Battery life is excellent. the graphics are vivid, bright and vibrant. Having my new Mac Book Pro has been a delight. I haven't found anything negative about it yet!

fast, reliable, easy to use, user friendly. love it

This is my first Apple laptop and I really like it! I had a problem with the first one I bought at Best Buy because of wifi connectivity problems. They were able to give me a new one. The one I have right now does not have wifi problems, but I do feel that the fan is slightly louder or maybe it is just me. This has a really good battery life compared to my Toshiba laptop which only lasts less than 2 hours. It's great for school because it's very compact and durable. It is a little heavy when I put it in my bag though, but I didn't want to upgrade to Retina and I didn't want the Air either. Since I only have 4gb of ram, sometimes it lags when I have too many things up. One thing I don't like is that it uses a lot of memory on some applications.

Fast, easy to use. Also runs Windows or Linux using either Parallels or VMware Fusion and if you want an extra learning curve you can also use VirtualBox (free download) to run Windows and/or Linux. Great for Photos, Graphic, and word processors.

I love my Macbook Pro. This computer is so easy to use and set up. It has an amazing screen, amazing speed and performance. Love the lighted key board. A lot of people think that these are too expensive and just like a PC and why spend so much when you can get a PC so much cheaper? Well let me tell you that this computer is 1,000,000 times better than a PC. if you have pictures, music, or video's on your PC it starts to run slow. i downloaded all the same off of my PC on to my Macbook Pro and it didn't slow it up at all. To put in a short way to where i don't write an entire book on here on why you should get it and how good it is and how much better than a PC it is let me say this. This is the last laptop that you will have to buy. I use to have to get a new PC every few years just because it wore out but i know my mom has had a Macbook Pro before i got mine and well i have gone through 5 PC's since she has had her one Macbook Pro. Yes like i said it is more expensive than a PC but it is because you are getting such a better and higher quality product.
