Review

Pros: Amazing 15" display, good processing power, great wireless connectivity
Cons: Somewhat large, expensive, and lacks FireWire ports
Bottom Line: If you need the 1600x1200 resolution and the processing power, go for it. Otherwise, there are other suitable models that will save you some money.
