The Apple MacBook Pro MC374LL/A was released on April 13, 2010.  In this Apple MacBook Pro MC374LL/A review, we will tell you whether it is a machine that you should consider purchasing.

First off, let’s talk about the aesthetics.  When you receive this new Apple MacBook in the mail as I did, you will immediately notice how solidly constructed and elegant this little machine is.  Often, when you receive the laptop equivalent in a PC, you can tell it is not all created in a unified manner.  MacBooks simply feel extremely well-constructed and this MacBook Pro MC374LL/A is no exception.  It is a sturdy machine and you can tell this from the first touch.

But, when we purchase a laptop, aesthetics are certainly not enough.  So, let’s take a look under this beautiful exterior and see what this new MacBook contains.

This Apple laptop features a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor which is extremely fast for a laptop of this size.  The previous model contained a 2.26 GHz processor so this machine executes a small bit faster.

The screen on this laptop, a 13.3 inch LED-backlit display with 1280-by-800 resolution, is impeccable.  Many people want larger screens in their laptops but it is amazing how this 13.3 inch screen serves your needs.  I did not find myself wanting more screen real estate.  Plus, for my uses, I want my laptop to be extremely portable and the smaller screens make for increased portability.  Since this machine comes with an HDMI type adaptor, you can always connect laptop to TV when you want a larger screen.

The super-slim and sleek Dell Vostro V13 ultra-portable laptop is a new offering from Dell. This 13.3″ Vostro V13 laptop comes with either a single-core or dual core Intel ULV processor. How good the performance for the V13 is dependent on your processor choice. Also with the decreased size of this laptop Dell only put one DDR3 DIMM slot for memory, thought you should know if you were planning on upgrading memory yourself. Another thing you should know is that the Vostro V13 comes with integrated graphics and no HDMI connectivity.

Its chassis is crafted out of carbon fiber and is designed to not only be incredibly light but also sturdy enough to withstand 150kg of force.

Like other Sony notebooks, the keyboard on the VAIO X is island-style, but at 88 percent of full size, it’s a bit smaller than most netbooks with 10- to 12-inch screens. Measuring 9.5 x 3.5 inches, the keyboard is about half an inch smaller in both directions than the Toshiba mini NB205, even though the VAIO X has a larger keyboard deck. This is because there’s about half an inch of space on either side of the keyboard.

The display itself again split opinion, though. It has a notable red bias, which affects skin tones, and its horizontal and vertical viewing angles are a little limited. You could also argue that its 1,366 x 768 resolution is too high for an 11.1in screen, although if you’re finding it a struggle to read system text you can enlarge it easily via Windows 7. In terms of features, the X-Series includes pretty much everything you could ask for. There’s Bluetooth, 802.11bgn WLAN, an integrated 3G modem that supports up to 7.2Mbits/sec, and a 0.3-megapixel camera.
