I said it, and i mean it. Pulling this laptop out of the box is probably like opening a treasure chest found underneath a thousand feet of ocean. It feel like pure gold. The weight and density are all proportional, it opens and closes perfectly, the screen is the most beautiful computer screen you’ll see at a price that isn’t outrageous. Even the charger(yes the freaking charger) looks and feels solid while remaining nimble enough to pop-out the moment you miss-step and pull. I love it and i’m thinking about marrying it.

small gripe(nobody is perfect): Annoying that they just released Lion OSX but it doesn’t come installed. So you get the laptop and have to pay $30 more to have it fully upgraded. WTF? Let me start off by saying I have always been a pc guy until I purchased my 2010 macbook pro 13′ last year and I must say I don’t know why I waited so long! I purchased my 13 back in September and about 6 months later I saw the new MacBook pros came out and comparing the specs I felt like I needed to upgrade. I replaced my 2010 Macbook Pro 13 with this and I must say that I am very pleased. The dual core on the 2010 seemed fast but when compared to the i7 quad core the dual core isn’t even in the same universe! The 15′ is super fast and great at handling multiple apps at once. The new Lion OSX is excellent and apple has added a lot of things to make this os superb to others. The only drawback is that Apple has axed rosetta which means power pc run applications and games are no longer supported. However I like the fact that if needed you can add windows via bootcamp (if you want to play pc games or need to use apps that are not compatible with macs). The battery life on this laptop is great. I can usually get 6 to 8 hours of life from a single charge depending on what I am doing. Most laptops can only get 3 or 4 max. The battery can actually be calibrated to help get the most out of a charge. Ilife 11 is a great addition with this laptop and apps like iMovie and iPhoto couldn’t be easier to use. Portability isn’t as good as the 13′ but with this computer being pretty much 2x-3x faster that the 2010 13′ I’m not complaining. Overall I am extremely pleased with my purchase and if your thinking about converting to a Mac, DO IT! You will be very satisfied.

PROS
1. The processor is a super fast 2.0 ghz quad core i7 great for gaming on bootcamp or on lion (2x-3x faster than previous generations).
2. The battery life is great. ( A little less than my 2010 13′ mbp but it averages about 6 to 8 hours a charge depending on what I’m doing so I’m not complaining)
3. Osx Lion is a great upgrade from snow leopard and does a great job at keeping everything organized and fast.
4. Great apps included like Garageband and iPhoto.
5. The case looks very sleek, thin, and professional and the backlit keyboard can be super bright or dim depending on how you want it.
6. Bootcamp is a great feature that many people may not know used to run windows on your mac if needed.
7. The screen is extremely bright and big and hd videos look crisp and clear.

CONS
1. Price is a little steep compared to other pc’s with the same specs.
2. When running windows the laptop can get very warm.
3. In the new Lion OSX power pc run apps and games is not supported anymore.
