This is a POWERFUL SEXY STYLISH with great performance notebook.

out of 10 I'd give it 11! the laptop has everything you need and have always wanted.

It has built-in web camera outstanding quality, amazing sound quality, fantastic built-in microphone, you can chat using skype ichat or any other messenger that allows you to to voice chat and you will not hear your voice on your friends computer, I mean if you are both chatting without headphones don't worry the computer will know when you are talking and when the pther person is talking without interrupt it.
The keyboard is a must! it turns the light on when in poor light conditions automatically.

The keyboard has been cut like the previous macbook 13" its curved to perfectly fit fingers, smooth typing. The keyboard is also illuminated, so when you're in low-light settings, so if you dont want to disturb your roomate or anyone else its great! and well the web cam captures your image even in the dark with clear quality!!! This is because the screen light can be so strong that you wont need lights at all!

it runs the integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M processor, which provides plenty of performance for everyday use with up to 5 hours of battery life. But if you need turbocharged performance for the most graphically intensive tasks, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT processor delivers. And with a new graphic architecture, it's easy to switch between these two processors, and you can simply check the level of the battery by clicking on a button on the side of the laptop.

Another great thing is, the notebook is motion sensitive, I have a screen saver that is a aquarium so if you get the laptop on your hands and walk with it on you hands and then shake the laptop, the water on the screen will move according to the movement you made.

Now the entire trackpad doubles as the button, so you can click anywhere. Without a separate button, the trackpad is almost double the size it was before, and has a silky glass surface. You can still use two fingers to scroll up and down a page. Pinch to zoom in and out. Rotate an image with your fingertips. Swipe with three fingers to flip through your photo libraries. Swipe with four fingers to show your desktop, view all open windows, or switch applications. If you're coming from a right-click world, you can right-click with two fingers or configure a right-click area on the trackpad. The more you use Multi-Touch, the more you'll wonder what you ever did without it.

Adobe softwares run fast, and with great perfomance. If you are a game fan, then you will love your new mac, you can find several games for your mac online.
And well yes, VIRUS free!!
Mac is a must, and if you can afford, then I'd have to say that you won't regret having this amazing laptop! and the best thing in the end... if Apple launches a new model, or a new generation laptop, you can still sell your old notebook, for an excellent price!

Nice review, lots of good points made.

Good review, although Apple need to get their pricing under control if they want a larger share of the market

mattydalton 12.12.2008 15:53

Given the amount that this costs I would like to see a lot more information. Let me know if you add anything and I will take another look.
