The 17" Unibody MacBook Pro (MBP) is the top model of Apple's notebook series and, along with the 15" MBP, the strongest mobile notebook with Mac OS X. It remains to be the slimmest and lightest 17" computer of its performance category. In addition to th...

Apple does provide a very sizable 500GB hard drive allowing for a large number of applications, data and media files.
