Advantages: the screen
Disadvantages: portability

Now I wouldn't call this a laptop, Id call this a machine. The sheer size of this beast makes it less portable for a laptop, but makes it great as a replacement desktop which will no doubt runs as fast and take up a lot less room. This laptop has been designed for anyone who is looking for something specifically made for multimedia purposes. It features a fabulous 20.1 inch TFT screen which, for a laptop is huge. This is great for watching movies ...
...if you want a fantastic big screen. However the screen being this size does make the laptop really less portable, however it still wouldn't be impossible to take this laptop where ever you want and I think the features it has makes up for this small downside. This laptop has an Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 processor, which lets the laptop run at great speeds, and also the 2 gb of built in ram lets you run demanding software and high spec games. This ...

Advantages: Power, Quality of build, display quality
Disadvantages: cost

...an extremely fast rendering machine. Apple has squeezed as much of the world-renowned Mac Pros into this 1" thick machine as possible. What I find amazing is the attention to detail. Instead of the ugly hooks that keep the screen locked when closed on all other manufacturers laptops, apple makes a simple magnetised system where the hooks only come out as the laptop is being shut. I decided to spend about £90 extra and get the hi resolution screen ...
...that the text would be too small to read, but to my delight everything is readable, and this is one of the sharpest lcd displays on the market. The screen on the hi-res laptop also has an LED backlight, which produces brighter whites and also saves on battery usage. Other gems include a backlit keyboard, a sudden motion sensor which stops the hard-drives if the laptop is dropped, and ambient light sensors which adjust the display and keyboard backlights ...

Apple mac-books, where to start... ok, so to start, it is an apple, that means you get a solid quality product and on the whole very good customer are. this particualar apple is deffinatly more suited to being a media center than other laptops. At first glance you realise that it is a fairly large laptop, this allows for a big screen, which being an apple ffers clear vivid displays, unfortunatly the big screen increases the overal size and also ...
...very good for an entertainment laptop. The laptops technical specs include a very fast 2.5 ghz dual core proccesor which is very fast, the dual core allows it to tackle multiple tasks quicly as well as increasing the overall speed of the laptop. The price is quite steep however, but i believe, if given the money, it is probably one of the best laptops to go for all the best If you found this rating helpful, please give it an EXEPTIONAL rating ...

Advantages: lightweight, reliable
Disadvantages: Mouse control

I have used this laptop for many years now as my work laptop, I have had absolutely to problems with reliability, or ease of use. The only downside I find is that the mouse control is dreadful, but as I connect a proper mouse to it thankfully I havent had to use it too much. So from a reliability point of view, its been switched on at least 40 hours every week of the year and it just keeps chugging along. Screen quality is clear for the age of ...
...but quite capable for day to day activities of word, excel, info explorer etc. Standard Processor is the Intel Pentium 1.4ghz, with 256Ram installed, although my work laptop has had the memory doubled, apparently to help XP process. Standard battery should last 6 hours on a full charge. 40GB IDE hard drive is included, with a weight of only 4.9 lbs is not the heaviest on the market. The measurements are (W x D x H)-- 12.1 in x 9.8 in x 1.2 in Other ... Read review

Advantages: Looks, Simplicity, Works out-of-the-box, battery life, power
Disadvantages: Case feels a little cheap, Screen attracts fingerprints

...Macbook was purchased direct from Apple and took just two days to arrive. And, as promised, it worked straight out of the box. I just pressed power filled out my user details and i was going. The setup hooked me onto my wireless internet and i was away. The first thing that struck me was the size of the thing, it's only slightly thicker than an average sized hardback notepad and weighs just over 2 kg, in other words it's a perfect size. Before the ...
...is very clean and crisp. Apple really has gone above and beyond with this one, it's perfect. The 13,3 inch glossy screen is great for watching movies. Just a note for skeptical readers: the glossy screen rarely (if ever) reflects anything in the background. When it comes to using the Macbook in a brightly lit area or outside there is less reflection than there would be on a Matte display. Battery life on the Macbook. Is better than almost all other ...
