Question: The initial description says this Mac has Mavericks installed, which I would want, but the cart description says Lion. What year was this produced?
Document: Buying this laptop means buying more RAM immediately! Apple says 8GB is the max. But don't settle for 8GB as 16GB works. Crucial offers a 16GB RAM kit that turns this into a usable laptop. The 16GB kit is not cheap (almost $300 with "2-day Business shipping), but it is worth it. I received the RAM kit this a.m., installed it, the MBP recognized it, and I am now running it.
It works really fast and the programs load real fast. Very good for editing videos says my friend. When I saw the laptop it had alot of ports (USB, and much more)No need to get mad, You do have to agree 1700-Up Price range is expensive but if you have the money and are planning to take care of it go ahead and buy it. You will be satisfied. If you do buy it, buy a case as well, You wouldn't want this baby unprotected.
There is no PC on the market that allows the same flexibility and dual platform capability, having the mac I have the best the Apple and PC world have to offer in a sleek package of the highest quality. Since converting from PC to Mac 6 year ago I have never looked back and I don't see myself changing any time soon.
I opted to swap out the optical drive into a separate USB enclosure, move the 750GB hard drive in its place, and install a 500GB solid state drive as the main drive. They upgraded memory to 8GB and installed Mavericks. This thing is ten pounds heavy but rugged and works like a dream. The battery lasts hours between charges, and the screen is a dream.
With both the Firewall and the File Vault feature (which offers "on-the-fly" encryption of your hard drive) enabled, I was lucky to keep more than one application running smoothly. If I ran a multi-tab browser session and a photo editing package, the laptop would crawl to a virtual halt. BTW, initial encryption of the hard drive took more than a whopping 20 hours!
I wanted to get a larger screen as my previous Macbook Pro was only a 13&#34; and with aging eyes I wanted to be able to see things better, this certainly fits the bill.I bought it with a small amount of RAM and changed them out for 16 GB that I also bought at Amazon.com.If you like Macs this is a great one and does everything that I want it too, I would purchase it again in a heartbeat! !
Fact of the matter (at least for me) is I find myself using Terminal more in Mac OS X than I ever had to in either Windows or newer versions of Linux. The last time I used the Command Line this much was way back in my MS-DOS days.Hard Fact #3: Apple fans (encouraged by Apple itself) want you to believe that Mac OS X is like Burger King - you can have it your way. Sorry, Mac OS X remains maddeningly non-customizable.
This Mac is FANTASTIC! Apple did it again. This system is fast, quite, and is not as hot as the other past systems. I work on this every day, doing websites, programming, php, database development... if I approve you surely would! I have zero complaints about this... it was worth every penny. Quality is worth paying for. You can see some of the works I have done by using this system!
My old PC thrilled me when I got over an hour out of the battery, my has lasted over 3 hours of heavy use and up to 5 on medium use.CONS:Graphics Card: While the graphics are generally smooth and beautiful, I enjoy games and when boot camped the 1 Gig video card doesn't allow for the highest graphic settings on the newest games. For the price of the laptop it would have been nice having a better video card with more memory.Cost: The Mac does not come cheap.
In the end, using a Mac is like living life in a pre-school - you can have as much freedom as you want so long as it doesn't exceed what "they" want you to have.
Answer: This was the last of the MacBook Pro 17" laptops produced.  Production date specified as "Late 2011."  I can't remember what OS it came with, but it wasn't Mavericks, which hadn't been developed at that date.  But it easily upgrades to Mavericks.
