Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 17" TFT

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, it is...

Review of Apple MacBook Air

High quality MacBook!

Advantages: High quality, fast memory, good design, perfect durability.
Disadvantages: None at all!

... About Apple MacBook Air Firstly, I would like to recommend this product for eveyone who needs a really high quality notebook. This one does not have incredible features but it works perfectly. It has 2GB of memory (RAM) and that's enough for working with documents, playing or even working with professional graphical programs. Most of new notebooks has more than 2GB of RAM but I can say that it is not a truth - the Apple MacBook Air works faster than other notebook of mine which has 4GB of RAM! In my opinion, 120GB of HDD is enough for personal use. Personaly, I do not need more than 100GB for keeping all my programs, music and personal documents so I can say that 120GB is more than enough. What I like the most about this Apple product is: * The design (I like the color and shape) * The quality...

MacBook, Get Yours.

Advantages: Smooth, silent, good looking, more than capable, satisfying.
Disadvantages: Arguably the cost, some very minor issues in very few cases.

...for it can be downloaded. *Safari: Your window to the internet. Click on it and it opens your browser window, with Apple as the default homepage. *iTunes: The all-in-one Music, TV, Movie, Podcast, Audiobook, Applications, etc library that lets you access and play your files, and doubles as an online store. The latest version is a breeze to use, and you can easily synchronise it with your iPod or iPhone. *Mail: You can set up an email account and easily access it here, nuff said. *iChat: Apple's version of Windows Live Hotmail, you can add accounts and get chatting, but only to your other Mac buddies. Don't fear, however, as you can download a version of hotmail designed for Macs, if you still need to, what with Facebook chat and all. *iMovie: A nifty little video editing tool. A bit difficult to get the hang of at first, but it's great...

The MacBook Air: Exceptional Power In A Diminutive Footprint.

Advantages: Small size, light weight, impressive speed, OS X
Disadvantages: No expandability, 1 USB port, limited storage/memory

...The old adage is that one should never judge a book by its cover. Apparently an exception to that rule is when the proverbial cover is as geek sheik as that of the MacBook Air. Now in its second iteration, the MacBook Air is the de facto king of the thin & light laptop market despite Dell, Lenovo, and even MSI throwing their hats into the ring in recent months. Not much has changed on the outside of the gorgeous MacBook Air since it was introduced in 2008, but under the hood it is a different story. Gone is are old 65nm processors and the somewhat underpowered integrated graphics by Intel. In their place are newer, more energy efficient 45nm Penryn family CPUs mated to NVIDIA?s latest chipset featuring an integrated 9300m class graphics controller. The new CPUs are not significantly faster than their predecessors, but they seem to...

Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 15.4" TFT

Apple's Powerful MacBook

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...

Review of Apple MacBook

MacBook Air: Specs as light as air...but heavy on the wallet

Advantages: Looks to Kill!
Disadvantages: Next to nil value for money

...Let's get this straight...this will probably remain the "lightest" and "thinnest" notebook on earth for a while. But that's about all it has to boast of. The Macbook Air features a tiny 80GB HDD - the same as the one found on iPods; and even if you add the optional 64GB SSD, it still lacks serious storage. Also, the thinnest book in the world also sacrifices on other essentials such as an optical drive...and instead asks you to buy (and carry around at extra weight!) an external drive to play your DVDs. It does feature some nifty features like the self-illuminating keyboard and all; but if you start weighing all its features against the hole to your wallet its going to make, you'd seriously need to decide if you need to spend that much for a notebook you can pull out of a manila envelop and impress everyone. After all, looks aren...

Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo 13.3" - I'm a convert

Advantages: Stylish, flexible, super fast startup
Disadvantages: Pricey compared to a PC

...I got my MacBook a month ago and, despite having been a heavy PC user for the last 20+ years, I'm a convert. It's just great. I got it because of all the good stories I'd heard about them; usability, security, availabiity of applications and it's stylish looking too, not like the lumpy almost invariably black Windows laptops out there. It's not cheap at £700 you can get a lot of PC for that, but I really like my Mac, so I'm not going to linger on that side of things. The 13" screen is crystal clear, the keyboard feels nice and it doesn't take long to get used to the trackpad style mouse. It's super fast to boot up and shut down, less than 30 seconds from 'off' and probably less than 5 from 'sleep' mode. That's stunning compared to my other machines that can take anything from 5 to 20 minutes to do the same. It was initially a bit...

Review of Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo

Once You Go Mac, You Never Go Back!

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...
