A 15" Macbook Pro computer from Apple would be a smart purchase if one enjoys using Apple products. If one just wants the cheapest computer available them Windows system will be much cheaper.
Go to the Apple online store in person or online to buy a MacBook Pro.
I would by your first macbook pro form an official apple store.
The Apple store or online at apple.com
At the Apple Store in IFC

Someone can purchase a Macbook Pro 15 inch on Best Buy's website and it is also available for purchase from Apple. Out of the two stores, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
You can either browse the range of MacBook Pro's available on eBay or you can purchase a second hand MacBook Pro at the Apple Store under "Refurbished items". You can usually find discounts of up to $1000 at the refurbished items store online at Apple. That's if you wanted a second hand MacBook Pro. You can find cheaper than store bought new MacBook Pro's on eBay but don't expect to find them anywhere else.
The Apple MacBook Pro 15.4 inch model only comes in Apple's standard white color, but you can buy a variety of cases and skins to customize the color.
The best place to buy a macbook pro is apple.com.
So, if you need a true workhorse laptop and want to stay in the Apple environment, this MacBook Pro is well worth the money. To be honest, even if you're not a fan of Apple, this computer is worth considering if you need a powerful laptop.
One can purchase a 17 inch MacBook Pro from the Apple Store. One can also buy them from Amazon for around $900. They can also be purchased online from eBay.
well it depends where you buy it from. for a 13" it will set you back $1200 for the lower number of GB's.
