The layout of the keyboard is typically of Apple different to that of Windows notebooks and is optimised for Mac OS X. In our opinion the silent keyboard was very pleasant to use and is a progress over the old keyboard.

The feel to the keys can be described as soft, but they deliver a precise response. The key hub is rather short, and as this is also typical of the new Apple desktop keyboards it doesn't distract you whilst typing. The individual keys are pleasing to touch and are of sufficient size. The keyboard looks like to be identical to other MacBooks (at least the layout, dimensions, and keys are identical). The new 2009 17" MacBook Pro, like every Unibody MacBook notebook, has individual keys embedded into the aluminium case. This is very practical for people that are right-handed and is without a doubt acceptable for left-handed people too (due to the fact that the interfaces are located more at the back of the laptop). The interfaces are arranged on the left-hand side of the case (only the opening for the Kensington Lock is placed on the right-hand side). Also a Docking-Station connection which facilitates expansions is missing in the entire Apple Notebook range - hardly "Pro" of Apple. However an Express Card slot is included, which is only (like in the 15" model) 34mm wide. It also lacks e-SATA for fast connections to external hard drives without a loss in speed and a Card Reader. Compared to its predecessor, the FireWire 400 port has been removed and in place of a DVI output there's a Mini Displayport As a result you will almost always need an adaptor in order to connect an external display - annoying and expensive.Ĭompared to other 17" Notebooks, an HDMI output is lacking for TVs (the DisplayPort connector of the MacBooks doesnt transport sound and therefore no simple adapter does the job). Just like the smaller siblings, the large 17" MacBook Pro also yearns for more wired interfaces. However, due to the limited height of the case, this problem is somewhat limited. It's only the relatively sharp leading edge which is somewhat unpleasant when typing for long periods. The feel of the materials used is excellent. The display's wide hinge opens some degrees more (which was a criticism of the former model), but opens a tad too easily.

The gaps between interfaces are typical of Apple in that they're cleanly and tidily placed and the display now closes completely flat thanks to the new shutting-mechanism from the other Unibody Macs. The removal of the battery bay takes away the only protrusive part of the usual notebook (the thin aluminium cover of the MacBook and the MacBook Pro 15 don't always sit perfectly).

The workmanship of the aluminium case is flawless.

Nonetheless, the new Unibody laptop, which is by far the best-looking 17" notebook that we've ever seen, fits perfectly on the " empty glass desk of the designer office". Due to the large amounts of space between the keyboard and the edges of the case, the design doesn't look as harmonic as as for the smaller Macbook. Its shape is practically identical to the smaller MacBook and MacBook Pro 15" models - only bigger. The case is made from a single sheet of aluminium, creating a simple and timeless design. Just like the small MacBook and the 15" MacBook Pro, Apple has, with some delay, also added the larger 17" Macbook Pro into the new Unibody Aluminium Case. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4
