My 17" late 2011 MacBook Pro has been the best laptop I have ever owned. The screen is breathtaking and although the difference between 15 and 17 doesn't sound a lot.. it is!

Well, Apple don't do "cheap" and their stuff retains a good amount of value on the 2nd hand market. Modern revisions of this laptop are great as a desktop replacement where you might be doing HD video work, but still need to occasionally relocate. It is easily portable, but it's obviously not the most portable solution if you're not bothered about the HD display and video crunching ability. A MacBook Air + Thunderbolt display was also on my shortlist but the grunt of this 17" MacBook Pro for chomping video is pretty phenomenal, all things considered. The 4 physical cores are hyper threaded under Lion meaning the OS sees 8 CPU - nice! Plus the 8GB RAM makes the most of 64bit architecture and although Macs (somewhat deservedly) have a reputation for not "doing" games, I do intend to put the 1GB dedicated VRAM to the test once I've found something in the App store that isn't five years old ;)Read full review
