I haven't but when I bought the MBP36 additional but FYI... it said that whatever additional function the 43 may have the 36 additional is not able to do. It makes sense but probably not something I would think about right away.

Yes, it was highly recommended by a friend w/older model. Says he's had his for 7 years and never rebooted. I'm very happy with mine. Bob J

I use this model in our office all day long everyday with a Mac Book Pro and have never, ever had an issue. Rock Solid. Nothing extra to setup.

I just received notification that my MBP 17" has shipped, it should be here on Friday with 2nd Day Air. I ordered on April 30th.

Siska - my newest one just broke last week. Less than 6 months old. Losing count of how many this makes that I've shelled out good money for. Brand new each. I'm looking....I may be a fool, but I'm thinking of trying the wireless. Doubt it will be much better - Apple doesn't seem much interested in making decent, reliable keyboards or mouse for their MacBook Pro ---- and considering how much they both cost, why would they want to stop gouging the customers now when there is money to be made? I'll write a review when I get a wireless. I will warn you, however: I once tried a non-Apple wireless system, and it destroyed my macbook pro. I mean....ate it up. I had to send it away for serious repair.

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

I bought the plastic one from the Dollar Store. Wish I had bought more of them as I gave two away. Still have one that has held up for several years, has outlasted one $2000 MacBook Pro and is now on the replacement. It is perfect!

I do not have any macbook experience so I cannot provide a recommendation. I would recommend contacting Samsung directly.

I've had it since March with no issues. Has a pretty long thunderbolt cable which makes it easy to use with my Macbook Pro.

i have a mbp-r mid2012 running 10.9.4 and it works perfectly for me. I'd assume that it'll work just the same on 10.10.1

I don't have an MBP, but it sure beats the little keyboard that came with my iMac (mid-2011). If you are currently using an iMac, I highly recommend it! If you are currently using an Apple laptop/notebook/whatever that has a USB port open, this would be more comfortable to use than the built-in keyboard, but then you have to carry it around. However, battery life is phenomenal - an hour in the sunlight and it can run in total darkness for 3 months! Which means that you never have to worry about running out of power.

Hi, David, We have six Macintosh laptops in our household, ranging from 2 500 MHz ice ibooks bought back in 2000 to a new Macbook and a new Macbook pro. All of them are still working really well, given their ages and what we've put them through. There have been some flaws, yes, but no more flaws than friends who have PC laptops have endured (and they're in worse shape than we are sometimes). We have gotten two lemons; my partner's Ti Powerbook had a manufacturing flaw that showed up causing the motherboard to short circuit, and my first Macbook had a literally warped case, which meant it cracked. However, those can happen to anyone and it was just bad luck as far as I'm concerned -- he bought his through the apple online store, I got mine in person at the apple store. Buy Applecare. ALWAYS. And never go to the Genius bar if you can avoid it -- it's named ironically. Applecare and the applecare 800 number are your best bet. The bigger test I think is the powerbooks and ibooks that are now 4 and 8 years old, respectively. They're all going strong. One's our file server, one's a music server for the house, one runs a linux test environment, and one's in my kitchen, serving as my recipe library and media etc center. They all get a lot of work, and other than all being restarted every sunday night at 8, they pretty much run continually. Of course they're out of battery, but that's to be expected. Batteries don't last forever. Good luck, and I hope this helped!

A correction for Madi H answer, the MBA has more battery life than the MBP you can check that out on the Apple website, you can even compare one to another in their website look what is better for you and then come back to amazon to buy it (that is what i did :D)

You, my friend, win the internet. Called MacMall Santa Monica and they had the base model. And they offered to hold it for me. Picked it up Sunday before getting on a flight to Vegas. Using it right now. Canceled my Amazon order. THANK YOU.

I have the same MBPro 15" late 2008 model and it works perfectly with my computer. I haven't had any stability issues so far. Programs are snappier. No more slowdowns due to low resources. I have Skype, Spotify, Chrome and a bunch of other programs running in the background and still have 4gb of RAM to spare.
