There are not any evidences of creaking or torsions thanks to the massive aluminium chassis. Was this maybe on purpose?Įven after several weeks of testing under our editorial office conditions, the MacBook Pro does not give in. By the way, Apple’s 2.4GHz version was available earlier. Therefore we received the test model a few weeks later than expected.
We purchased our MacBook in the notebook shop which was unable to deliver it on time due to bottlenecks in Apple’s delivery. Dell even provides on-site service that Apple does not include (!). Apple is definitely acting a bit off the top regarding this exorbitant price whereas Dell offers an upgrade from 1 to 3 years of for example the Vostro 1500 for only 159 Euros. In addition to this, there are extra costs of 439 Euros for a guarantee prolongation to 3 years (this is highly recommended for a working device since the cost of repairing laptops after a year is likely to surmount its actual selling value.).
At the time of writing this article prices were as followed: 1899 Euros for the “slow book” and 2399 Euros for the “fast book”. The graphic card memory of the “small book” was probably intentionally reduced in order to win more customers for the 2.4GHz version. The price differences are mainly due to the significant price differences of the CPUs.
Apart from the prices, there is little difference between the two 15 inch MacBook Pro with regard to the equipment options 120 GB to 160GB hard disk space, 2.2 to 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and 128MB to 256MB graphic card memory of the nVidia GeForce Go 8600 GT.
