The 2011 MacBook Pros are amazing machines. Fast processors, awesome graphics, new thunder-and-lightning connectivity. If you are a professional-on-the-go dealing with high definition video in Final Cut Pro, print-resolution images in Photoshop or 3D animation in Maya, Apple's new laptops will make you very happy. But if you are just a regular user, the new MacBook Pros are not for you.
