I'm joking (kinda)
If you're doing any photo editing, I'd recommend getting Aperture or Lightroom, similar programmes but with really easy to use interfaces.
Also, set up spaces on it, makes things alot easier and stops from clogging up your screen with 5 different programmes.
An app i'd definitely recommend getting is caffeine. It stops your computer from going to sleep, so it doesn't stop uploading a video or something. Just saves you going to system preferences and changing it all the time.
Get MPlayerX too, a really nice media player with cool controls, like swipe to fastforward or sound up etc.
Enjoy your MBP!

well, you're going to regret not getting the 15 inch, but besides that, you'll love it.
best feature? uh, the trac pad.

...but its still not actually a macbook
apple have marketed their products so well that even though there is higher performance machines out there, people still dont want them because its not Apple.
Its the design and the effort they've put into making it look and run so much better, plus the interface is so easy to use, plus the trackpad, plus the casing, plus the screen.
Im not hating on PC's, just saying i prefer the feel of a macbook pro so much more than a really plasticy PC

that thing where you scroll up with 4 fingers and it hides all your windows and shows your desktop so you can fap at work and stuff with no worries of someone coming in.

For the 15-inch: (the 13 inch isn't a real "Pro" macbook imo.)
In no particular order:
1. Unibody Aluminum housing.2. Smooth Industrial design.
3. Glass Trackpad.
4. Backlit Keyboard.
5. Decent audio for a laptop if you need it.
6. Long battery life.
7. Great screen, pretty darn color accurate. (go for matte/high-res)
8. Optical drive that you can remove so you can have 2 hard drives, I have one storage drive(Original 500gb) and one SSD (OCZ Vertex 3) for boot on my Pro.
9. MAC OS X
10. Webcam with mic that's actually rather descent.
11. Glowing Macbook logo.
12. Airport.
13. Firewire & Thunderbolt.
14. Magsafe adapter connection and the battery charger itself.
15. Batterylife indicator
16. Weight and size.
17. Integrated and discrete Graphics (Power when you need it, energy saving when you don't)

Multi-touch trackpad for sure. I can't even use other computers anymore because scrolling and having to click the back button on browsers is too hard. Jk of course, but seriously, the track pad is god like.
Also, the light up keyboard.

Track-Pad for sure, it makes every action on the computer more efficient.
Also their customer service, I recently had my MBP get water damage, and when I took it into the genius bar their sensors showed that water had gotten into the computer... Even though water damage is not covered under my warranty, (i got applecare) they still covered the costs for free, would of been around $700, was super pumped when i heard the news.
