White Macbook, the best all round computer May 26, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is my first notebook and my first Mac. I have checked other notebooks and nothing really compares. It's beautiful in appearance, the operating system, Mac OS X Leopard, is an enormous pleasure to use, and I am not missing Windows, though I could run Windows on it. I've been using it as a substitute for my old desktop PC as well as a portable and its great in every role. With a usb hub it can do everything I want from a desktop and fast. As a portable it's light and compact and very easy to carry around. I certainly think it's the best Mac for most people as an all round computer, other Mac models do some things better but this does everything well and certainly the basic computing functions, editing documents and browsing, playing music, work beautifully. I've played DVDs on long bus journeys and it's great for that. Since Macs are a better experience than PCs I think this is the best computer around. I strongly recommend using Mac with the native Safari browser, a beautiful and fast browser, perfectly integrated into its environment. I also strongly recommend iWork, which has to be paid for after free 30 day trial. (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MA790Z-A-iWork-08/dp/B000BQXTSS/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1211785700&sr=8-1) I was so impressed so quickly I upgraded on the first day of the trial. It's far far better than MS Office, and no one with a Mac really needs the Office for Mac package which is more expensive than iWork. Possibly for some very specialised business purposes Offices still has advantages over iWork, but as an all round word processing/presentation/spread sheet package it's a beautiful experience which does everything I need quickly (and I'm heavy user of word processing and related utilities) and and like most things Mac its both simple, no clutter, and stylish. It fits perfectly into the Mac OS environment, making it even more of a pleasure. The free text editing software in the Mac opens Word documents, and the Pages wordprocessing has the option of saving documents to a word format, so very few people need Office on their Mac. Don't bother unless you are really sure you do need it.

Everything perfect but default color scheme is poor. May 24, 2008

This macbook is 4th edition which supports memory up to 4gb and supports 802.11n wireless network. This is also my 3rd macbook. Everything goes nearly same with the older ones. But the color scheme of the screen is very poor in natural. Takes too long to calibrate the screen unless you have a hardware calibration tool. Without the h/w calibration I still couldn't match my 22" philips LCD panel.

I just bought this model of macbook a couple days ago. I can run lots of programs and the computer doesn't slow down. The two finger scrolling is super-helpful and now I don't know how I could live without it. The webcam is a nice feature and the microphone has really good sound quality. I tried the feature in keynote (apples version of powerpoint) where you make a recording about a particular slide, and then I played it back. The sound quality was EXCELLENT.

Some might argue that switching from a PC to a mac is a big hassle; I would disagree. I'm able to use word and powerpoint on a mac. I can use all of the things on the internet with firefox or safari that I could on Internet Explorer. I'm trying to think of general things that you can't do on macs that you can do on PCs, but the only big thing that really comes to mind is gaming. If you're really into computer gaming, then a mac is not for you (unless you buy a reallly expensive one with a good graphics card). Alternatively, you can just buy and xbox or playstation and keep gaming separate from your computer.

It seems to me that most places on the internet are beginning to be more mac-friendly. Along with being user friendly, a mac is also stable stable stable. I can't emphasize that enough. My family has grown up with PCs. We've gone through at least 6 or 7 over a course of 20 years, so I can tell you that a PC is not in the same class as a mac. If you gave me a million dollars to never us a mac again, I wouldn't take it. Before owning this macbook, I had a mac mini. I barely ever turn it off, and it has never froze up to where I have to reboot it. When you switch from a mac to the best PC in the world, you are downgrading.

I know that apple computers are spendy...but make the investment. Find a cheaper place to find this model and purchase the Applecare. If you buy a PC, you'll have freezing, crashing, and headaches. When you buy a mac, you'll have stability, reliability, productivity, and the best damn computer you've ever owned.

Small and poweful May 21, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

As this is my very first laptops, I have little to compare with. I have always been a Mac guy so I only know the
Mac operating system. The lapbook is small as I wanted and the operating system is fast and simple to use.
It is mac quality and the mouse pad is fairly easy to get use to. It really is a nice machine. I like the black
finish and the quality is above par. The new mag plug is a very good idea. As all new Macs, its easy to set up.
If you have more another Mac you can transfer most of your settings and passwords via firewire. As always with the Mac, it is simple.

this is very cool. But there is no microsoft office 2004 as it posted on the web site. You need to buy microsoft office 2008 separate.
