My Addiction =]
Review of Apple MacBook Core Duo 1.83 GHz - 13.3" TFT by rabbiter

Advantages: A very good laptop, will keep you busy for a long time
Disadvantages: Hot, problems with charger, laptop blanking out, and others

...I ended up at the Apple Store (now called something weird like KRCS) looking at the beauty that is the MacBook, and that is how I ended up spending a small fortune on this stunning machine. The laptop itself costs £750 although because I dragged my Dad along I managed to make a discount, this being because he is a teacher and teachers get discounts for some reason. In Box ********** As I was presented with the stylishly clean white box containing ...
...on the lid is Apple's Apple which lights up when the laptop is on and just adds that little something to the whole appearance. Also in the box you will find the charger, a remote control (how many computers have you owned with remote controls?!) and the guide - but let's be realistic, who is going to read that?! Setting Up ************** I couldn't wait to turn it on, plugging it into the charger and pressing the on button, which feels nice with ... Read review

Mac - my life long dropable friend
Review of Apple MacBook Core Duo 1.83 GHz - 13.3" TFT by jimboy81

Advantages: Exceptionally professional, doesn't slow down, no viruses
Disadvantages: White gets dirty, expensive to upgrade or add to

...There is of course the apple store option if you can find one. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the pure design of it (after the excellent packaging and manual which was clear and concise). The brilliant white casing, the smoothed edges and the rounded corners made me feel that I was now in possession of a very professional machine. For only £699 (approx.) I felt that I had really been cheeky. The setup process is exceptionally ...
...trying to do. The apple website provides more information on precisely what the battery life is. Problems I have encountered are mainly cosmetic. The colour means that it does dirty quite easily and the front has become scratched so I had to buy a case for it. But its design is exceptionally strong as I have dropped it and it didn't even make a dent, (yes I am clumsy!). Hardware wise it comes with 512 MB of Ram which is enough if you're not going ...

Nice!
Review of Apple MacBook Core Duo 1.83 GHz - 13.3" TFT by funkyassbassman

Advantages: Great iLife programs, Isight camera, Fun and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Extreme heat, Slightly small hard drive.

I bought this for all the amazing creative programs this has on. You can probably tell by my profile that I love music. So I decided to get this for the garageband program that is included. First of all, this laptop looks great. When ever a family member or friend sees it they always comment on how nice it looks. It's the perfect size and is very easy to carry around the house. I thought the screen size would be a bit small (being used to a 19" ...
...get used to. Recently I added another desktop so I have extended the length of it (sorry, it's quite hard to explain). But even without the extra length it's great. Buying a Mac meant that I had to switch to using Mac OSX instead of Windows. It's really easy to navigate around and it seems to 'flow' a lot more than windows. The programs that come with this are really amazing. Garageband is an amazing piece of kit. It's really professional and is ... Read review

Probably the best thing I ever bought
Review of Apple MacBook Core Duo 1.83 GHz - 13.3" TFT by sosull

Advantages: Fast, Intel processor, OS X, Great connectivity, Excellent audio/visual experience, integrated i-sight camera
Disadvantages: Scratches a little too easy. Hard disk and memory can be upgraded but it's a bit fiddily.

I've been a loyal Apple customer for many years with one of my more recent purchases being a fourth generation iPod. However towards the beginning of the year I decided that I needed to update my laptop and scoured the internet for a replacement. My previous machine was a powerful Advent laptop running Windows XP Home Service Pack 2 but being a prominent figure in the IT industry I had had some experience with Apple's OS X. The reason why I had never ...
...connectivity but it's not amazing. Apple provide a really good range of different connection sockets but not a load of each of them. For example the MacBook has two USB 2.0 sockets and one FireWire 400. I personally do not have any need for a FireWire socket but I do own a lot of USB devices. My desktop system has 8 USB 2.0 sockets and I use all but one of them. I realise the MacBook is designed for movement, but in this day and age having four USB ... Read review

Deal forged in hell or match made in heaven?
Review of Apple MacBook Core Duo 1.83 GHz - 13.3" TFT by bitesizepankakes

Advantages: Quick, low powered CPU. Crisp display. Built in Bluetooth, WiFi, iSight. Mac OS X
Disadvantages: Windows support still not perfect. Too little Ram. Some first generation bugs in hardware/software.

...what you may call an Apple fan. Since experiencing the macintosh for the first time almost 5 years ago now I have been hooked. I don't know whether it is the sleekness of the design, the dazzling beauty of the OS, the coolness of apples marketing, the rock solid security, or the smugness that comes from being outside the mainstream, smiling when your windows friends talk about crashes and virus's and trojans (oh my), but I just love them. Honestly, ...
...that for me. I feared Apple + Intel may be a deal forged with the devil, and the MacBooks, MacBook Pro's and Intel iMac's and Mac Pro's it's Demon Seed. Having owned and used several of the previous Motorola/IBM generation of macs (from a G3 iBook to a G5 Tower) I was dubious about the switch to the Intel chips. I don't know why, but I felt somehow betrayed, somehow I was sure that the inclusion of an intel chip would pollute the experience. I was ... Read review

And the ultra bright LCD makes photos and graphics come alive with color. You can also connect your MacBook via the mini-DVI port to an external display and create twice the workspace. With the built-in iSight camera, it's easier than ever to video chat with friends and family. Just fire up iChat AV and start chatting.
