This macbook is my second Mac, the previous model I had was the 60GB polycarbonate and boy is this new one a step up. Never before have I seen such a beautifully designed laptop that just works. The display is breathtaking, speed isn't exceptional but it's in no way slow and having extra storage space and the cool backlight on the keyboard are big bonuses.
Most people are put off Macs because of the price or the "for creative people" branding. I'd say though that the price is right for this machine, before buying this I looked at Sony and Dell notebooks with similar specs and price ranges but they just couldn't compete with the beauty of the macbook or its versatility, that and the fact that they weren't Macs! Also, don't forget that Apple design both OS and machine which makes everything run that bit more seamlessly.
You won't go wrong with this baby, you'll fall in love the minute you switch it on! I've always admired Apple products but this just makes me realise I'm officially a 'Mac' person. The only thing I dislike about the growing popularity of Apple is people who buy Macs not knowing much about them, luckily they seem to be few and far between though.
 MacBook downgrade November 21, 2008

This would be a very nice (albeit overpriced) machine, but for one thing - no Firewire. The old machine had it, this one doesn't. There's absolutely no work-around either. That means no fast external hard drives, no Firewire camcorders, no Target Disk Mode (to fix it/copy data & setting), no high quality audio devices etc etc. Don't say you weren't warned. Hoping Apple wise up and bring it back pronto.
It seems absurd for a computer / electronics to take away a feature in the new version of a product, whilst providing absolutely no upgrade, alternative or work-around. In fact it's such an unusual decision that I can't think of another instance.
Personally, as a long time Mac user, I wouldn't buy a computer without firewire, no matter how nice it looks. Big mistake.

A long time Mac user now I've only been more and more impressed by the continuing development of Apple's laptops. From the original MacBook which was easily an upgrade from a PowerBook the new MacBook blurs the line between the pro and consumer lines so much that I'm amazed they still differentiate between them.
Ignore any thoughts you have about Apple being a premium brand - spec up a similar Dell and it comes out at around the same price but won't comes with the legendary iLife package or the level of integration that Mac OS X provides.
The screen is gorgeous with the same instant on LED backlighting that the Air has and the backlit keyboard is brilliant for use in the evening. It's also near silent - the fan has been quietened and no longer ramps up to full speed during iPlayer watching!
Even though the battery capacity is lower than in the MacBook it lasts just as long if not longer - a tribute to NVidia, Intel and Apple's work to get the power consumption right down.
If you want an easy to use, rugged laptop I can't recommend the new MacBook enough!

If you ever needed a final excuse to switch from PCs to Macs, this is it.
The unibody MacBook has an aluminium enclosure milled from a single slab of metal to give it added strength, sturdiness, low weight and a very thin profile. It is a very clever piece of design and has an integrity found in no other machine made by any other manufacturer. Although it looks gorgeous, the design is all about functionality not aesthetics, from the magnetic latch, hidden speakers that bounce sound off the screen, ergonomics of the keyboard and trackpad, to the overall fit and finish, which are flawless. There is no doubt that the people at Apple have really put their hearts and minds into developing this computer. It is mind-blowingly full of attention to detail.
When it comes to specification, the 2.4 Ghz model is probably a safer bet than the 2.0 Ghz one, because it has the backlit keyboard and its faster processor will take longer to become outdated. In terms of raw performance, this machine is as good as the previous MacBook Pro, which makes it great value. In short, this is a computer that will last for years.
Pros
- Ultra Sleek form factor
- Robust and durable construction
- Unlikely to become outdated quickly
- Excellent on-board graphics (very good for playing DVDs and games)
- Mac OSX: infinitely better than Windows Vista
- Superb new trackpad
- Improved backlit keyboard
- LED screen much better than previous MacBook screen
- Inbuilt DVD player
- Runs Windows (if you must)
Cons
- Highly reflective glossy screen is a major issue for some people (for me it is no problem)
- There are less expensive PCs available (but they won't last as long)
- The omission of a Firewire port is a major issue for some people using video / camera equipment (buy an adapter or get the MacBook Pro)
- If you leave it lying around, someone will surely steal it
(Some reviews complain that screen quality is inferior to that of the 15.4" MacBook Pro and 13" MacBook Air. It is marginally inferior but you probably wouldn't have noticed unless I told you. Ignore any negative comments about screen quality, the new MacBook's screen is a quantum leap above the old machine's. )
In short, I don't think I have ever been able to recommend any other piece of technology so wholeheartedly. This really is a stunning product. You really won't regret buying one. As a die-hard PC user for the last 20 years, I never thought I'd say that about a Mac. But it is the truth.

Hi guys
It's a very well made piece of kid. No objection. It feels sturdy and stong, then again, with the whole nw process it goes through to be manufactured, who would think it wouldn't be?
I want to just comment on how when i orderd mine, i had a sony viao (13") and i hated how..... small it was. It was TRYING too much, the scren didn't look 13" - it looked 10, they keys were small, the trackpad was small, it was trying to hard to be portable.
I didn't quite know what to expect opening this but much to my suprise, i loved it's size (strange that eh?) t's smooth top and 'glistening' apple logo on the top. It looked 10/10.
I picked it out of it's box, and it had a little weight to it, not noticeable mind, but heavier than the plastic laptops i've been using.
took it out of the plastic and had a fiddle with all the novelty bits, the magnetic power adapter, ad the battery light indicator located next to the kensington lock slot.
I opened it up, and everything just hit me in the face as imaculate. The keys were perfectly spaced, the trackpad was suprisingly large (a good thing!) the screen was perfectly sized.
Switched it on, and the scren threw gorgeous colours in my face, the intro. vid looked amazing.
At this point i noticed the backlit keyboard come on, it was a dimly lit room a tthe time, and it just added to the sheer beauty.
The trackpad is not short of amazing. I find myself using the exposé four fingure gesture nearly every 20 seconds, the accuracy and smoothness of which the gestures work (iphoto, itunes, safari, exposé) is truely amazing.
By the way, the whole trackpad being a button, is REALLY easy to get used to, I picked it up in 5-10 minutes
As a new mac user, i was genuinly worried with how Leopard (Macs operating system) was going to treat me. Turns out it treats me better than vista does. I've not used linux, so i can't comment, but judging by friends, i'd say linux isn't the best of all 3.
Bootcamp is welcome, i wont be using it mind, but having leopard and windows would be good news to many folk.
The new graphics chip performs extremely well, i have...near enough a few hunfred photos on my macbook, and they're all loaded straight when i get into iphoto.
No games as of yet, but i'll only want to put football manager 2009 on it to satisfy my gaming needs.
There's some great apps that you can get from the apple webite, i managed to get hundreds of thin strands of light moving all together as a screensaver, and an app that makes your screensaver your background.
Just to sum it up....
If you've got the money, go for this, hands down. The base macbook pro only has a slight advantage over this in terms of what it can do. It looks and feels the part + if you want windows on it, it's a very easy process
