Advantages: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz processor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, i-Life & i-Sight
Disadvantages: None

...The Apple MacBook MB062B/B is executively designed for a mobile lifestyle with Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 1GB of memory, and large hard drive. It also has a number of innovative features, including a built-in iSight camera for 1 to 1 or group video chat on the go, iLife '08, Front Row, a nice 13inch widescreen display and supports dual displays. I have used Mac Notebooks before and have to say this is the most advanced and affordable MacBook. It gives you power and mobility, neatily packed into a beautiful compact design. The MacBook comes in 2 colour, white and black, I prefer the white being Apple's trade mark colour. The MacBook will keep you glued to it as you wont need anything else courtesy of built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and AirPort Extreme 802.11 which gives you up to five times the performance and twice the range of previous...

Advantages: ''
Disadvantages: ''

...;-) General comments: I wanted to upgrade my old Titanium Powerbook (bought in 2001) and so took a flight to London to personally handle the latest MacBook Pro 17". I walked into the shop in Regent Street with £3000 cash - discovered the MBP was in my eyes rubbish, so came home again without wasting my money. I had seen the Macbook 13" black book and was impressed since it was compact and had most of the features of the MBP. Hence at the start of December 2007 I walked into a shop in France and bought it - you can only go for so long trying to use hardware which is seven years old when working in the hi-tech world. I made the compromise and bought this Macbook and was able to persuade Monsieur Lawrence of Apple Service in France to exchange the French keyboard for a QWERTY one free of charge. He was also kind enough to send me the latest "Leopard... Read review

...Background of the Apple MacBook. Apple computer was born on the first of April 1976; Steven Wozniak and Steven Jobs established the company. It was not until 1977 that the company really took of with the release of the Apple II at a local computer trade show, it was an impressive machine in many ways, it was the first personal computer to come in a plastic case, and had colour graphics, huge requests and orders were made after this introduction and when apple released the easiest to use floppy disk drive at the time, the Apple Disk II; Apples sales improved further.

Advantages: nice screen, good battery life, fast specs
Disadvantages: large size (price?)

...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 uses more battery, however, the 4.5 hour yattery is still 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... Read review

Advantages: No viruses, Fast, Expandable RAM, Easy to use, Stylish and rigid
Disadvantages: Overheating, Interface farmiliarisation, Compatability issues

...After using Windows-based machines for many years and finally growing sick of viruses and constant manual updates, I decided to purchase a Mac. After all of the good reviews that Mac's had received I decided that it was finally time that I switched. And what a brilliant decision that really was...

Advantages: Fast, Brilliant Design, Brilliant Software, Brilliant!
Disadvantages: Pricey

...After writing some of my reviews on this laptop, I thought itself is worth a review. Enjoy What Is It? The Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz - 13.3" TFT is the latest notebook to add to the Apple Mac range. For anyone who doesn't understand Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz - 13.3" TFT, this basically means it is a lot faster than any other notebook previously made by Apple. TFT stands for Thin Film Transistor which means the pixel quality will be very good so brilliant to play movies, games on etc. Why Pick Apple Computers? Ever since 1977, Apple has been making computers to compete with Microsoft. Apple was popular but it wasn't until the iPod was released, that made Apple a huge name and that is when I heard of the company. Apple are now a leading competor in the Computer market. The MacBooks replaced the iBook which were... Read review

Advantages: Long lasting battery, Large bright screen, Robust and very fast
Disadvantages: Cannot upgrade memory, small speakers, gets very hot very quickly

...I recently got one of these laptops for second hand. They are very good laptops. I am a student and the laptop gets thrown around quite a bit. They are built very solidly and after being dropped and sat on several times, the case has no dents or cracks in it, nothing rattles, and everything works perfectly. It is set in a moulded plastic white case which will scratch easily. Because of the moulded case it is not easy to upgrade the memory or hard drive in it, so be warned if you plan to do this you will have to send it away to apple. The battery is the longest lasting battery I have ever seen from a laptop. I used to play dvds on the train when commuting, and playing dvds the laptops battery will last for over three hours, when I have seen standard windows laptops struggle to last half an hour when playing solitaire. The advantage... Read review

Advantages: Lightning speed, intuitive workflow, simple to use, beautiful to look at.
Disadvantages: Expensive, limited compatable software, poor screen visibility.

...power cord (which is an amazing idea, as it means that the cord won't be tripped over and the MacBook damaged). That's a lie, actually. The first thing I did was let out a small squeal of glee; then I inserted the power cord. Pressing the power button, I see the familiar Apple logo and wait as it sets itself up. Then comes the magic: All these "welcome"s in various different languages come flying at me. Once that extravaganza was over, I was brought to a very simple and easy to use start-up screen. I entered my name and email etc, and it just brought me through it all step-by-step. If I weren't so inhumanly intelligent, I'm sure I would have been able to set it up just as easily. It really was ridiculously simple. It asked me which network I wanted to connect to; I selected it; it asked me for the password; it was done. No faffing about... Read review

Advantages: Packed full of features, easy to use, looks great
Disadvantages: Still some, yet very few, compatability issues

...What can I say? I've always been a Windows user and have seen all the adverts for MacBooks talking about how much better a Mac is, they have not viruses, everythings easy to use, its all in the box, etc... The adverts finally persueded me to try one out and as i needed a new laptop i decided to buy one. Opening the box you are presented with a lovely white Apple MacBook, which already stands out much more than any other laptop. Take it out of the box, plug the power in to give it a bit of battery, turn it on and you'r ready to do almost anything you want! No long installation process, or downloading of numerous updates before you can do anything. You just turn it on and you're ready to go. Simple as that. Once on it automatically scans for any wireless networks around, and whenever a new application is opened, it gives you... Read review
