Solid State Speed

Verified Purchase:Yes
Since its installed in my Mac, I haven't actually seen the solid state hard drive since I bought it in the package but it now lives in my machine and has no moving parts to wear out. The only aspect of it that I am aware of is that everything on my computer now happens MUCH faster!!

Simplicity for Less
on August 6, 2016
Posted by: DolphinSwimmer
from Sarasota, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
As seniors, we no longer care about constant updating to the latest new features but want something that will stay the same for a while. Over 3 years we would have spent $190 for this software to stay constantly updated and $70 per year thereafter. We were happy to have the option of buying it (understanding that there will be no updating it) for $120 for life -- probably!!

Great Laptop for a Great Price
on August 6, 2016
Posted by: DolphinSwimmer
from Sarasota, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
Being seniors, we no longer need the top of the line in function or power from a laptop. We wanted a DVD drive and the ability to process photos but not movies. This machine provided all we needed (and probably a lot more!) and was VERY reasonably priced. An easy decision in a realm of very complicated ones.

Great Converter for Small Cars
on June 4, 2014
Posted by: DolphinSwimmer
from Sarasota, FL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this converter when the one I use in my minivan didn't leave enough room for the plug under the console in my smaller car. The tilting head allows you to reach the plug from either side or straight up. The great bonus was that my old converter is very noisy, which bothered my husband. This one is silent!!

Since viruses and spyware became a prevalent threat with Internet use, Macs have been considered relatively safe because most threats have targeted PCs. However, recent Mac-focused malware attacks and cloud- and browser-based threats have put Macs in uncertain territory. Phishing and man-in-the-browser attacks have also put all online consumers at risk, regardless of whether they are using a Windows PC, Mac or mobile device. It's important to shield your computer and your personal information from the risk that comes along with Internet use, even if you are a Mac owner. After all, we rely on our computers to complete everyday tasks, such as banking, shopping, browsing, e-mailing, social networking and more, that put our personal information out there, making it more important than ever to be vigilant about our digital safety.SecureAnywhere 2013 for Mac offers the antivirus and antispyware protection that lets you use the Internet with confidence. The real-time Threat Shield marks links and search results as safe, unsafe or unknown in your Safari browser, while keyboard monitors constantly check for key logger activity. The software automatically blocks malicious sites and stays up-to-date on the most recent threats with automatic updates for effective protection against viruses, spyware, root kits and more. For added security without having to remember hundreds of unique passwords, the Password Manager lets you use one Webroot password to log in to all of them and encrypts them during transmission. Installation is quick and easy and the software operates in the background with rapid scans that are quick and light on system resources. All you have to do is set it and forget it for the freedom to use the vast resources of the Internet without worrying about the safety of your equipment and personal information.

MacBook Pro features Intel's latest quad core processor, the core i5 processor, for a boost in processor and memory speeds. New next-generation graphics deliver performance levels that are up to 60 percent faster than before. And high-speed Thunderbolt I/O lets you transfer data at rates up to 10 GBps. The MacBook Pro is a great computer that just got even greater.

Backlit keyboard is a nice feature. Battery life is so long its hard to believe. Warning that battery is needed to be recharged appears in middle of screen and cannot be overlooked.

Is there anyone who actually has the device at home that can say for certain whether or not it has a DVD drive without having to use an external drive?

Was one of our primary concerns and YES it does!
