 Wow! April 19, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
After owning several PCs and a Gateway laptop, we are back to macs. My husband had a Mac when we got married in the mid-90s. We bought the cheapest Apple laptop and we are very happy with it. I thought if a laptop is going to only last 3 or 4 years, why spend top dollar for it. I like the small size and the screen is plenty big. It is light-weight, too. When I don't know how to do something, I find the help menu, well, helpful. The battery life seems to be pretty good. I bought the Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. package and I go back and forth between a PC at work and the documents work fine. I use a MacBook Pro at work, but I'm perfectly happy with a MacBook at home.

I was nervous to purchase a mac as all I've ever used were pc's, but I'm extremely happy I made the switch. The mac is amazing. The speed with which it starts up and shuts down is quite impressive. I'm still learning the ins and outs of the new OS but I'm rather enjoying it as the simplicity of the mac is becoming more apparent. The display and sound are great and moving your files from your pc to your mac is not difficult. I found out how to use my ipod for the task on apple's website. Overall the macbook was a great investment and I don't think I will ever be going back to a pc
There is no good reason *not* to switch April 18, 2008

The pros: So many! Lightweight, good battery life, lovely Mac operating system, great software you can buy like iLife and iWork, and virtualization software like VMWare that takes any last doubt away about needing Windows for something. Easy wifi/bluetooth. Cost for it all.
The cons: This configuration chokes on motion graphics/ intensive video rendering in pro apps, even with 4 GIGs ram. Still need a Mac Pro desktop to do that. The screen is NOT okay to use for graphics editing, as it has fewer colors, and a bad aspect ratio that changes the colors when in different positions. You can still plug it into a real monitor with fine results, but being a laptop, one would like to be able to see accurately the colors of things when editing photos, etc. So that is a decided con on this model. Also, a little less durable and fake feeling than the higher end laptop.
Overall great model for most users, very flexible for work and for play, but pro design users should consider other (read: more expensive) mac models first.
MacBook 2.4Ghz, Super Drve April 17, 2008

This is an amazing product. I just got this one for my wife, she had another MacBook before, without the SuperDrive, much less memory and HD! The difference is amazing! And, for the first time, she has a more powerful Mac than mine! :-) I got a MacBook Pro 17", 2.33Ghz Core 2 Duo, etc etc, so, her 2.4 is FASTER than mine! Cheers! Highly recommended, congrats to Apple!!!
LOVING MY MACBOOK!! April 14, 2008

Apple. What's not to love about this company? Now with Intel-based processors, its systems are faster than ever. And Apple loves to keep cycling through upgraded models every 6 months or so. So I had to think long and hard about what system I would purchase next. I already have 3 Power-PC based systems, a 15" Powerbook, a 17" Powerbook and a Mac Mini. As soon as the Intel boxes came out, I purchased a 17" iMac. I bought my little sister a Macbook for her graduation last year, and I use a Quad Core Mac Pro at work. Yes, I'm a Mac addict. Plus WWDC is coming up in June, and I'll be there, ready to learn how to program stuff for my iPod Touch. But I need an Intel-based laptop if I want do any coding...so that left me with choosing between the Macbook and the Macbook Pro. Sigh. I like the processor power and video capabilities of the Macbook Pro, BUT the price was a little steep for a system I would just be using as an interim development system (I always have my Mac Pro at work to do the REAL coding). So I went for the Macbook...and I LOVE it! It's a speedy little thing, and it didn't kill my wallet.
