Price:
The price is my biggest gripe and you can not really justify it! You pay over 2000 (!) For a laptop that might be good 500 cheaper on the hardware! Apple is well known that they live with the prices in their "own world", but it is not so that one can say the price is totally wrong. One has to consider namely that the operating system Mac OS (X) and updates for this operating system included in the price. In Windows you need then of course again into their pockets, if you will absolutely have the new Windows. (So will switch from Windows 7 to Windows 8)
Style:
Yes, the design is such a thing. I am more or less looks like no matter how my laptop! He should only fulfill its tasks and run stable. But since I know how many people the design at heart, I will briefly say a few words about it. The MacBook is kept very simple. It has a timeless design and looks actually always good. The glowing apple looks good too. The total package is right and the MacBook is probably for "Design Fanatic" a good choice!
Processing:
The build quality is top notch! Just as one is used to from Apple. Who owns an iPhone or other Apple products, who knows what I mean. The Macbook simply feels high-quality and the keys sit 1A!
Power:
Leistungstechnisch this unit is top notch here! You buy here a device that also will be fast enough in a few years to cope with its tasks. That was also the reason why I have resorted to this model. It provides an extra graphics card, which is well suited for video editing and also for games. 16GB Ram are also more than enough for the next 4-5 years, and the SSD is just super fast. For the processor, I can say that he does a very good job at the moment. As he stands there compared to the other processors, unfortunately I can only guess. But who has set the 2014 MacBook Pro apart, know that the processors of 2013er and 2014er have minimal differences! That was the reason why I have resorted to this model.
Operating System:
"Once you have been working with Mac OS, then you'll never want to change" - the phrase exactly as told by a friend when I asked him whether he was satisfied with his Mac. He said it was the operating system that so fascinated him. This opinion I share now! When I was still working with Windows, there were many "little problems" that made me create. I had problems with my wireless driver could not open a Word file (because I no word used), my computer was very fast very slow so I These problems under Mac OS X never had! This operating system is a dream
Conclusion:
The MacBook Pro 15 "is convincing in every category except the price! Not only by me above things are noticed very positive to me, but also the battery life, the grandiose display and the variety of good programs for Mac OS X. If you have the money and a laptop on the go need, does nothing with the MacBook wrong, but you should think in advance for what you want to use his new computer:
Who wants to play, which should rely on a Windows machine, because a Mac is not suitable for games. (Unless you want might not play primarily, but only from time to time ...)
Who uses his computer just at home, which should fall back to a level PC. The Mac mini, iMac and Mac Pro would be the alternatives for "Mac users"
Anyone who wants to surf the Internet, watch videos, and perhaps from time to time programming, can without problems take a MacBook Air, which is much cheaper.
Who needs to tackle demanding tasks such as video editing, programming a lot or does something with graphics or even from time to time in addition to the work a little want to play, which makes the MacBook Pro (this model) nothing wrong and can be sure that he in 3 years, no new equipment needs, because it is not enough performance.
