Decent cellphone09/10/07
- Pros:
- Cool slider design, fairly durable
- Cons:
- drops calls, poor multimedia features
I got this phone through Cingular, but Cingular doesn't support the phone. And Moto basically doesn't have support. Not that I've had any big problems, but it's just peace of mind. The cellphone feels good in the hand--it has weight to it--making it feel like a phone not a piece of plastic. It has a pretty good battery life (3-4 days). It also can make any mp3 into a ringtone. Which is great cus I could never understand why you would want to pay 3 bucks for 11 seconds of a song. Now the things I don't like... It says it plays video, music, and takes pictures, and while that's true it doesn't have any good way of storing and sorting said files. So while I have 1 GB of memory in my phone, it doesn't help me when it randomly arranges my songs. I can't complain too much about photos and video... I mean it is a cell phone after all. My only other complaint is the phone is underpowered for it OS. There is a definite lag between me pressing a button and getting a response from the phone.

Apple MacBook Pro

Good Quality Notebook11/06/06
- Pros:
- well built laptop, great customer service, fast processor
- Cons:
- gets a little too hot, not enough native apps, GPU is underclocked
I bought my MacBook Pro as a refurbished unit from Apple. As of such I can't give and accurate rating on the quality of the product. Mine has a few bumps and dings that are associated with a refurbished product. I have to say that this is one good looking laptop. So what if you alienware has dual GPUs and 4 GHz overclocked CPUs. It also only has a 1 hour battery life and weighs 20lbs. The MacBook Pro is thin. It does run a little hot. After a while on my lap it became a little unbearable. The battery is adequate. It lasts anywhere from 3-4 hours. Not too short, but it would nice to have longer battery life. Programs (like Photoshop) that aren't native run about as fast as my old dual 867G4. So they're not terrible, but definitely not snappy either. All in all this is a great laptop that I would recommend to anyone.
