The 17'' MacBook Pro is at the top of Apple's range of laptops.  It offers powerful performance, a great design and record-breaking battery life--something we never thought we'd say about a computer with a screen as big as this.

We've already seen its younger brothers, but now it's time to look at the biggest Mac laptop there is.  The Apple MacBook Pro 17'' doesn't miss a trick and includes all the features of Apple laptops we've grown to love--but here, the one thing we hated, the glossy screen, has been replaced by a matte panel.
