I love my MacBook! The multi-touch trackpad and battery life are AMAZING! This is my first Mac and now I will never go Windows again… Sorry Bill!
Pros:
-Multi-Touch Trackpad
-13.3 inch gorgeous screen
-Easy to fast-type keyboard
-7 hour battery life
-2.26GHz processor! (Super fast!)
-It is just amazing
Cons:
-No SD card slot (not a big deal AT ALL)
-The white color… I can see some scratches
I HIGHLY recommend this! It is the same thing as the MacBookPro 13-inch but no FireWire, no SD card slot, and no aluminum! That’s all!
The best laptop I have owned, Windows or Mac
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I haven’t owned a Mac laptop in 12+ years. (though I have craved one) Finally I found a good deal on this polycarbonite macbook. The 2 other machines I was looking at were the 15 Dell Studio (nice eSata port) and the ASUS ULV models (with 12 hour advertised battery life)
The processor in the Dell was faster at a similar price and the battery life of the Asus made it appealing. I have no regrets that I chose the Apple product. With VMWare Fusion I have a great Windows XP computer. (that resumes and suspends way faster than my VMWare workstation does on my work PC)
In addition, I loaded Windows 7 with bootcamp. (I have to reboot to get to it) I turned on all visual effects and the performance is impressive.
I found that a remote support tool called “TeamViewer” has a mac version that works great! (shared my screen with my friends to show them the interface) It obviously lowers the color palette to increase speed.
It is nice that OSX has RDP built in! I remote into my Windows XP desktop almost daily.
THINGS I LOVE:
1) Windows compatible (even XP, newer Windows machines with XP drivers are getting more and more rare)
2) Mac Safe power adapter. My Sony laptop’s AC/DC adapters always die right after the warranty expires. They are over $100 to replace, but the latest macsafe is only $75. I love this because I don’t have to reach behind my machine to plug it in and I don’t have to check if it is plugged in before I pick it up. (you can see it on the side) Also my kid tripped over the cord the first day I had it….it simply came unplugged. (gotta love Apple for this one)
3) The screen is LED backlit and only slightly glossy. (macbook pros have glass on them, very shiny) shiny is good for indoor use, but in the sun you will wish it wasn’t glossy at all. This is a happy medium and as always the Apple display is wonderful and bright.
4) Lithium Polymer battery (non-removable) By eliminating the extra hardware needed to use a removable battery Apple has lighted the load. Using this technology is unique in the market. (I don’t think any PC laptops have LIPO batteries) The advertised 7 hr battery life is realistic in Windows or OSX if you lower the screen brightness a couple of notches from the top. (the lower you go, the longer the battery life) Many people are upset over the non-removable battery. The truth is you can replace it yourself or have Apple do it for $125 or so. It is removable but you have to take of the cover and undo some fasteners. It will also last longer than the Lithium Ion batteries we are used to replacing every 2 years. (Apple says in 5 years it will have 80% of it’s original life)
5) Nice Nvidia graphics. I was looking for a powerful machine not a netbook or machine without discrete graphics.
6) Chicklet keyboard. Aside from confusion over which modifier key I should (being a long time Windows user) the keyboard is a joy. I love the itunes dedicated play, pause next button setup as well as the volume (that even works in Windows or Linux) and the handy brightness settings. In the past things like programmable keys on certain machines required locating drivers and a bit of work. Apple makes things easy with their bootcamp setup.
7) Resale value. At first I wanted to get a netbook. I looked on Cragslist and notices that they were worth very little used. I next determined that anything under 12″ wouldn’t do. (older Sony machines and ultra portables) I thought about picking up some old machines and buying a new battery. Battery life is very important to me and there is no PC equivalent to this machine. I spent a little more than a net book or order ultra portable, but I will be able to sell it later for a good price and it will probably be more reliable than either option.
You can get the aluminum unibody macbook pro if you really want that but you will pay more for the same specs. (though it will have Firewire and an SD card slot) I like the looks of the Pro better but I couldn’t justify the money. Owning an Apple product (whether polycarbonite or aluminum) is a great experience.
Nice tune-up

Am very happy with this new MacBook. It’s smooth, ergonomic, smart, and very user friendly. Apple knows that many of it’s customers are looking to upgrade from an older unit and makes the process very painless. My old MacBook, which I got three years ago, was about maxed and nearly worn out from long service. It superseded my G4 T-Book, which took over for my old Wall Street, which I had purchased in the late 90’s after years of dueling with WinTels. This is a million miles beyond the used Mac Portable I had in college (which even then ran circles around the newer IBMs of the day).
This unit will run Windows better than a dedicated machine, and cross-platform everything you need to bridge that gap effortlessly (with the right software like Parallels and a stable Windows OS).
For all intents and purposes, this is the MacBook Pro in a different chassis. You lose a couple of ports, gain a larger HD, and sacrifice a larger memory cache; this only goes to 4G. If you’re running Pro Tools or Final Cut Pro, you’ll do better with one of the larger Macs for a lot of reasons. But this will run TurboCAD, the Adobe Suites, Office, and all the other usual suspects brilliantly for all intents and purposes.
I held back a star because though this is a 64 bit machine, Apple won’t let it boot in 64 bit kernel mode and take full advantage of the true nature of it’s architecture. I think they need to let the MacBook expand to more base memory – my last one only went to 4G as well – 3 years ago. Most importantly, Apple needs to wake up and seriously consider including touch screens on all their future products, not just iPhones and iPads. A lot of us are getting spoiled with our smart gadgets, thanks in large part to Apple itself.
In Summary, it’s great to see a new Mac under $1000, especially such a powerful little machine as this one. Mac has always been light years ahead of the pack with both their equipment and software and this unit is no exception. You can double the on-board memory for about $100, which I highly recommend, and spend the rest of the money you save here on software, music, and other gadgets.
Great laptop
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I had an older MacBook that was a great laptop but I max out the harddrive and decided to purchase a new one rather than to buy an external drive. I have been very impressed with this new laptop…..performance is a greatly improved as well as the hardrive on this new MacBook gives me plenty of room to grow. Can’t beat an apple!

This is my fourth Apple Computer. Previous items have always performed very satisfactorily.
After about six weeks use of the Mac Book I am just as satisfied with it. A battery charge lasts for about six hours the way I use it – recharge takes only a couple hours. It’s very fast and the energy-saving provisions are very welcome. I give it five stars.
New Macbook 13
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
First Mac I’ve bought through Amazon, although I have bought the MobileMe account through them. This computer came in a plain brown box with no Apple logos anywhere……….but inside it was packed perfectly with all the normal covers and manuals and the DVD of course. Saved some bucks, I recommend this route.
No spinning ball

Dumped a 6 mo old PC running Windows. Spent hours looking at a spinning ball waiting for something to happen. Couldn’t be happier with my new Macbook. Snappy operation, good looks and outstanding battery life.
good laptop

this is my first time using mac in i don’t know why i haven’t use it before the macbook is a very sexy,fast and reliable laptop it is worth every penny in the battery life is amazing so far i use six hours with a single charge,there is one thing that gets on my nerves but nothing major when i look at how much battery time i have it seems to never be accurate it jumps from low to high often but thats is not that serious to me i plan on using this laptop of everything goes good though my whole 4 years of college. in the near future i while of course use more apple product in the next i hope is the imac are mac mini…
Fantastic notebook – best macbook for the money.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This macbook is a great value for the features and the ability to use everything out-of-the-box. It is lightweight and ideal for travel, but still has more than enough power for applications like iPhoto, OpenOffice, email and iChat.
I really enjoy the eyesight camera which required zero setup to work with ichat and skype. There have been many complaints about not having a firewire port on this model, but quite honestly I can’t see a need for it given that it has usb, bluetooth, and wireless 802.11n built in. I suppose if you needed to hook up an external firewire hard drive or camera you would need one, but most cameras have usb.
5 Stars *****
A big change, but I am happy
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I made the decision to go with a Mac after talking to a lot of folks and wondering if I would really be happy leaving my PC. I got my MacBook last week, and here’s what I think so far.
For those who are strictly into PC Games and such, you shouldn’t get this computer. I have a brother who is a gamer and he’s religiously oppsed to Apple (I kid you not). If you want an all around computer that is designed to run smooth and has lots of great features a PC would never think of, then a Mac Book is a great purchase. I just would recommend thinking hard about what you are after and making your decision based on that.
For me, I want to learn how to cut and create video, and burn great DVDs. So this is a great fit. And yeah, it’s not easy to go from one system to the next, but if you are patient you get it.
I do have to say that I love the design a lot. A fantastic touchpad that is more user friendly, and light machine that is easy to transport and carry to work, a quiet processor that runs cool and doesn’t make noise or get hot to the touch. I also love that the power cord is magnetized and will pull away from the machine if a careless child races by and catches it. I had my PC knocked to the floor once when my 3 year old tripped on the cord.
Overall, a wonderful machine. Still trying to adjust and learn things, but I feel like this was well worth it. Higly recommended.
