I bought this laptop to start doing some freelance editing. It has decent speed for a traveling computer and I really like the way the keys feel. Great to have Firewire 400 & 800 as well as 3 USB's. Some cons. Man does this thing get hot! I would not recommend using it as a "lap" top. Also the battery when you buy it used is terrible. Holds about a 2 hour charge when messing around and less than an hour charge when editing. So if you're not by a power source, you're going to die. But frankly I won this computer for $759... I basically saved nearly $2000 of the original price in the apple store when it first came out. I would recommend this for a person on a tight budget that is looking for something on the cheap. If you have the money, get the brand new MacBook Pro's that have the i5 and the i7's.Read full review
This vintage MacBook Pro is heavier than the laptops that are more current. But it still isn't bad when you just need to sit and type and get something done. Wouldn't recommend using it for playing games on your lap because it gets very hot in that mode. The 17" screen is nice for doing design work or anything that requires larger work. This operating system is a work horse with plenty of memory and RAM.

I am a long time Mac & PC user. I own a high end pro-audio recording studio and use macs to make money and a pc to count it. This laptop blew away all four of my remaining PC laptops. They'll be on e-bay soon (cheap). This laptop is very fast and was bought at less than a third of the price of the latest model. The speed differential between the latest model and this model is not all that important except to those who are doing very high end video/photo & audio work. I use three 8-core machines for my high end work. This laptop absolutely can't keep up with them (what could?), but it rocks at everything else! I've even installed Pro-tools HD on it and it works great as a travel studio! This mac just replaced every PC that I own. No viruses, no hanging-up, no spam, no technical difficulties, no mountain of extra software...enough said!Read full review
Even though this item is not the newest computer on the market, it still has a lot of life left in it. And though I have not had time to search out all of its capabilities, nor to see yet if it will hold its own against newer technology for all of the up-and-coming programs, but I feel that this machine even outlived Steve Job's dream of the perfect portable. I have honestly wanted a Macbook Pro since I got out of college, and though this may still be the same machine I desired so many years ago, and my pocketbook finally was able to afford one, I know that I will be able to enjoy it for many years to come. Thanks Steve, this is to your memory, and pure honest stubbornness to do a job, and do it well!
My son likes this machine. It helps with his studies and extensive music collection and keeps him off my wife and my laptops. Apples are by far superior machines due to ease of use, quality, and performance. I say this with over two decades of experience in engineering and the continuing senseless use we make of PCs. Since making a permanent change two years ago, my only problems have been a cracked key due to my carelessness and some problems interfacing to hardware (Xerox printer - more of an IT issue and their wanton ignorance of anything with an apple label).
