The MacBook Pro 15.4" is the ideal creative suite and choice of almost all artistic people alike. It's why they're so expensive. I bought this for myself to upgrade from my Windows PC and I'm damn sure not disappointed. Even though it is a late 2008 version, the Pro is NOWHERE near outdated. You certainly don't have to get the latest Mac. Trust and believe me. Just keep the software up to date and you're good to go. The product is packed with tons of features. The Pro 15.4" is no joke when it comes down to producing music, film, photography and etc. This was the best choice I made by far in my technology. And it was at a fairly decent price. When you're the artist, the MacBook Pro 15.4" late 2008 and all models alike are your paintbrush. Very pleased.

I am a seasoned Mac user. I purchased this one which I cannot use as yet. The battery will not charge and I am wary of buying another battery and going to Dallas to the Apple store. The company is not home but I hope they contact me soon to resolve this! Sandy

This is my third MacBook Pro 15.4" This is my first uni-body MacBook Pro. I really liked the previous MacBook Pro's having an Express Card slot. This late 2008 MacBook Pro is the only 15.4" uni-body MacBook Pro that has an Express Card slot. Following this model, Apple replaced the Express Card slot with a SD card slot. You can put an Express Card in that has a SD card slot, but if you only have a SD card slot, an SD card is the only thing you can put in it. I own 5 Express Cards, including one with a SD Card Slot. I have an Express Card that has an e-sata port, and 4 USB 2.0 ports, all of which I use most of the time. I have maxed out all of the MacBook Pro's I have owned. This one allows me to upgrade to 8mb of memory and a 1 TB hard drive. For my use, I prefer this model over a brand new model 15.4" MacBook Pro. I also have Parallels installed with Windows XP. I do video processing on the mac. My 1 TB drive is getting a real workout.Read full review
This is probably my 6th computer, 5th laptop, and second Macbook. I bought the MacBook Air in 2008 and it was brilliant. It served me well, but it was not potent enough for my needs. Luckily, I've found this MBP and other than battery life, it is by far the best piece of machinery I've ever owned. Once you go Apple, or lit keyboard rather, you never go back! Battery life lasts for about two hours, which is pretty good for a three year old machine that runs so smoothly with the backup light, and keyboard light on. It's acceptable for something this powerful to suck up a lot of battery. I am now able to get all the editing and work done I need. Psshh...no offense, but this Mac is also capable of running Windows 7, much better than any other Windows machine I've owned in the past. It's size and weight are also perfect for me. Words can't describe how happy I am with my purchase!!!Read full review
I have wanted a MacBook Pro for quite some time, but have not purchased because of the full-retail prices. After having done quite a bit of research of the specs, I did a number of searches that met my criteria. From there I chose sellers whose feedback I liked, then selected those whose listings offered after-purchase support. I am so happy with my MBP, and support from the seller, who is a computer professional. I feel very secure with my purchase, the performance is stable, fast, and just generally is an awesome piece of equipment. Yeah, I'll probably upgrade to an even zoomier MBP and my youngest son will get this one (he borrows this one all the time anyway, and leaves his Dell Inspiron gathering dust). I think anyone who purchases an MBP with these specs is going to be very happy. To purchase a fine instrument on eBay is a dance of knowing what you want, finding the product, and then making sure that the person from whom one is purchasing is reliable.......... once those all come together, it makes for a positive exeperience...... ...... and all that adds up to confidence in Apple products, even used. This unit is fast, easy to navigate, and will be operating in a superior manner for at least the next year, if not more.Read full review
