NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 1 GB of dedicated GDDR3 memory.

The largest Sony notebook computer is the Sony Vaio F series. Round One: MacBook Pros – 0, The Competition – 1, with 1 tie Sony That’ a big trade off which is not compensated for by the other specs like the Qosmio did. However, the battery life of this machine is a third of the MacBook Pro. The price as I customized it is $1,779 bringing us in just barely under the price of the MacBook Pro but with a faster processor and much more memory.

Here are the specs for this powerful notebook. To compare with the 15-inch MacBook Pro, I originally chose the Toshiba Tecra A11-S3502. But with the difference in price, I’d get an extra battery or maybe an extended battery. And it has a Blu Ray player! In Apple’s favor the Qosmio does not get near the battery life and it is much heavier at 9.7 lbs. With SSD and higher rpm both drives are faster. It has a faster processor, more RAM, more hard drive space. In purely a specs war, I would give this round to Toshiba.

Less than two and half hours of battery life.

564 GB of Storage across 2 drives (64 GB SSD + 500 GB 7200 rpm SATA).

Toshiba Direct has exactly one notebook computer with a base price close to the 17-inch MacBook Pro. If I was handed either $2300 or $1800 for notebook, what would kind of 15 or 17-inch notebooks could I get from the competition? Toshiba

The specs for the 15-inch MacBook Pros which start at $1,799 are as follows: The cost of this base configuration is $2,299.

Using price as the cut-off, I went to Toshiba, Sony, Dell and HP to compare what one could get for the same price as Apple’s new base configuration MacBook Pros. Instead, this comparison is on hardware specs alone.

So how do the new MacBook Pros compare to the competition? This is not a comparison based on the operating system, as we all have our preferences and my purpose is not to feed that “holy war”. If you’re comparing specs, you can just get more bang for your buck with a Windows machine. A longstanding assumption among PC users is that MacBooks are overpriced. Apple, with little fanfare, announced the refresh of their MacBook Pro line of notebooks on Tuesday.
