However as any regular laptop user will tell you this can cause even the newest of laptops to get warm. Some have even been known to get a lot more than warm to the touch, however there are an entire range of MacBook Stands dsigned specifically to prevent this. One of the best for use with the MacBook Pro is the Just Mobile Deluxe Aluminium Cooling Bar. This incredibly stylish solid aluminium stand has been diamond cut to compliment the style of your MacBook, and with a cable management slot to keep your power cable tidy. This has to be one off if not the most stylish laptop stand on the market.


4) The MacBook Pro has one of the most user friendly keyboards on the market with nicely spaced keys and a good sized wrist wrest to ensure comfortable typing. However it does suffer from the one shortcoming affecting most laptops, the lack of a traditional number keypad. However this can be easily remedied through the use of a Wireless Bluetooth Number Keypad, it allows you to easily add on the extra functionality of a number keypad whenever it is required.
