Abstract: The new MacBook is here and it makes quantum improvements over the previous model look easy. The improvements are not just with the hardware specifications but also with the thinking that has gone into the design and construction. It's available ...
Amazing design, Impressive performance, Great GPU, Good battery life
Oddly designed trackpad, Glossy screen
Our test piece came with a 2GHz processor with a 3 MB L2 cache that runs at 1:1 speed, 2GB of DDR-3 1066 MHz RAM , a 160GB HDD, and Mac OSX 10.5.5. The graphics which in previous models were handled by Intel onboard graphics have now finally been moved...

New aluminum construction looks good, feels solid; giant touchpad; attractive edge-to-edge glass on display; improved integrated graphics; backlit keyboard on some models; thinner than previous version.
Still no ExpressCard or SD card slot; loses FireWire port; all-clicking touchpad is a bit awkward, at least initially; S$2,088 now gets you a slower CPU than it did before; no matte screen option.
Cheaper than the MacBook Pro, with nearly comparable performance; great design; built-in Webcam and remote control; can run Windows XP via Boot Camp.
No ExpressCard slot or FireWire 800; lacks media card reader; only 90 days of toll-free technical support.
The new MacBook, updated to Intels Core 2 Duo CPU, compares very favorably with Apples high-end MacBook Pro line, offering premium performance at a reasonable price.
Abstract: With nary an envelope in sight this time around, Apple still manages to pull out their latest aluminum based MacBook notebooks in their usual flair and style in spite of the various leaks surrounding their latest and prettiest. Apples continual effort...

Abstract: Compartido 0 Veces Hoy tuve la suerte de recibir la visita de un invitado muy esperado. Desde hace 18 meses tengo un PowerBook G4 (PBG4) 12" que le compre usado a un amigo, así que en realidad el computador ya tiene más de 30 meses de servicio activo. De ...
Esthétique, Pavé tactile multitouch, Autonomie 3h40, Dalle très lumineuse, Sortie audio optique
Ecran très brillant, 2 USB, Pas de port Expres card, Uniquement sortie vidéo mini display port, Pas de lecteur de carte mémoire
Une machine à la finition quasi irréprochable dont on apprécie particulièrement la grosse autonomie, l'énorme pavé tactile et l'effort fait sur la 3D. On regrette son prix élitiste, l'évolution discutabl...
lusage, ce nouveau MacBook se révèle, avouons-le, une machine exceptionnelle dont la finition est bien sûr son argument premier. Face aux anciens MacBook en plastique noir ou blanc, la gamme MacBook na plus grand-chose à envier aux MacBook Pro alor...
