 It just works... April 27, 2008

I recently traded in my IBM Thinkpad T43 for this Macbook. I thought about trying Windows Vista, but with the rave reviews of Leopard and the awful reviews of Vista I felt like I needed to give the Macbook a shot. Compared to my old T43 this macbook is a wonderful.
Pros: Quiet, fast, no system hangups, intuitive operating system (easy to learn), pretty stylish, lightweight, and excellent battery life.
Cons: Initially you need to learn how to do things the Mac way instead of the Windows way. For some people this could take a bit of time. I loved my T43 keyboard and finger joystick thing in the middle. However, I don't mind trading those in for a better operating system.
In you're on the fence between a Vista notebook and a Macbook, I would definitely consider giving this computer a test run. After a week, I bet you'll get hooked. BTW, I opted not to spend the extra money on a macbook pro since I gave up gaming a few years ago and don't really use my notebook for anything too demanding. This is a great option for those who surf the web and do a bit of word-processing / photo editing.
The best laptop Mac has made, for the price. April 23, 2008

This is by far the best little laptop (13.4") that Mac has ever made. At 2.4 GHz, the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor is blazing fast. With it's 250 GB hard drive, you should have plenty of space for all your files. I couldn't be happier with my new Macbook. If you use a pc, it's time to switch. If you want to upgrade from an Ibook, it's well worth the price.

This is my first Mac product, and I am not disappointed. The interface is superb and responsive and the differences from Windows are not difficult to adapt. I am a full time student taking courses exclusively online, and I couldn't be happier that I have a Mac. The best feature I have found is the expose button. At anyone time I may have fifteen windows open and it is nice to be able to see them all on one screen so that I can select the one I want. The included software blows Microsoft out of the water.

No need to spend time with details - The Macbook is simply a SPECTACULAR piece of technology / software.
HIGHEST RATING - Nothing competes......

After my HP laptop died for the 7th time (never ever will buy an HP product again ... had trouble with 2 printers of theirs as well), I decided to go with this little wonder of a laptop, mostly because we use them in our middle school, and I figured, if these babies can get beat up by middle school students day after day after day, why not just buy one? It looks good, speedy, keyboard feels great, sleep mode and start up are almost instantaneous ... no more waiting for hours while the HP booted up like before. Since I also use some windows programs, I decided to install Parallels with XP, and it runs WAYYYYYY faster and better on this little macbook than it ever did on any other PC or laptop I've tried before. If you want a computer that will last you a long time, is reliable, can take a tough environment, and looks great, this one is it. The only caveat I have with the black one is that it shows fingerprints very easily, but they also wipe off easily. We have the white ones in school, and you can't see any fingerprints on the outside. They keys on the inside, however, and the wrist wrest can get quite dirty, so you may want to invest in a keyboard cover from iSkin (I'm using one right now ... fits perfectly and makes typing comfortable and quieter), and a wrist pad cover from marware, and you should be good to go if you're worried about dirt. I'm fastidious about keeping things clean, and these just fit the bill perfectly. DVD performance on this thing is outstanding ... there is no reason to not get this high quality computer from Apple. Apple really cares about their customer experience, from shopping to customer service. BTW, I recommend getting the apple care package as well ... always have been helpful when I had simple questions about hooking up wireless and printer. I didn't get my macbook from Amazon, but from the apple store in Braintree, MA. They were very helpful, had answers to all my questions. For Windows users who are concerned about the lack of a right mouse button, you can set up the track pad in preferences to read a one-finger tap of the pad as a mouse click, a two-finger tap as a right mouse click, and a two finger glide to scroll. Great!
