The folks over at C|Net UK have published a full review of Apple's 17" MacBook Pro laptop with a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and two gigabytes of RAM.

The review highlights the good and the bad of the laptop and the PowerBook generally winds up being considered very favorably. Selling points included the layout, look and feel, the laptop's light weight (especially where other 17" laptops are concerned), scrolling touchpad, three hour battery lfe and choice of operating systems through Boot Camp.

The piece also illustrates the laptop's weak points in the face of increasinly agile PC competition. Few options beyond the laptop's RAM are upgradable and the reviewer expressed wishes for things like multimedia card slots built into the laptop.
