i love my mac! October 23, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have the earlier black macbook 2.16ghz/1gb/160gb and it has been solid and an exceptional computer since i upgraded from a powerbook g4 1gz titanium that was over 4yo. A lot of people complain about macs being too expensive, but if you know anything about apple, they target a specific market who can afford to pay for their premium computers. if you complain that they cost too much, its usually a windows person who are used to paying $500 for a crappy laptop that eventually craps out or is overrun with viruses to a point where nothing works anymore. Another thing that people don't realize is macs retain their value VERY well. I sold my powerbook g4 1ghz titanium for $550 in oct 2007 which originally cost $3k in 11/02(i bought it used for $500 in 12/05). It was still in great condition with no problems when i sold it... it was as fast as my old p4 2.53ghz desktop which has been gathering dust for a while now(i had been a windows user for nearly a decade).

This is my current setup:

Black Macbook 2.16ghz/3gb ram/160gb hd/superdrive w/ OSX 10.5.5
westinghouse 24" LCD monitor @ 1920x1200
fantom drive 250gb firewire external hd
western digital passport 320gb usb external hd
pinnacle hdtv stick for mac(hdtv tuner)
logitech wireless keyboard & mouse

As you can see i have my macbook plugged in with a lot of accessories and i run 7+ programs at once when im using my mac, including eyetv(hdtv), isight cam w/ sightspeed video conferencing, as well as other less intensive applications. If you want a great dependable and quick mac this is the one to get, especially now that you can find it at discounted prices since the new macbooks came out. The only con that I have is that my old mac has the old 950GMA integrated graphics which can be an issue if you like to play/edit/encode high res videos or play graphic intensive games, especially full hd 1920P. I can play 1920P videos fine but it will get bogged down if im using a lot of other cpu intensive programs. im sure this won't be an issue for the majority of users since those people would probably get the macbook pro instead. i have had no issues at all that people have complained about(fans, cracked plastic, screen flicker, etc) and im sure i'll use this mac for another 2-3years before upgrading again.

pros:
fast, lightweight, long battery life
cons:
slow graphics chip

Best value October 23, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This model is the best value macbook one could get.

I am using two year old macbook which can go only 2GB. But this can go 4GB RAM which is cheap now. DDR 2 667MHz.

I would recommend to any one.

Hey, At Least It Has FireWire... October 22, 2008
8 out of 9 found this review helpful

It's amazing that this little gem still exists in Apple's lineup, what with the new aluminum MacBooks ('MetalBooks') having been unnecessarily stripped of FireWire and increased in price (the old $1500 pricepoint is now $1600).

Not so with this model, a white 'PlasticBook'. FireWire is still there (yay!), the price got cut to $999 AND they threw in a SuperDrive so you can burn DVDs (though to be honest, this last improvement was long overdue).

While it lacks some of the niceties of the new MetalBooks (such as the multitouch trackpad, slightly nicer screen, and improved-but-still-not-great graphics performance), the great (for Apple) price and inclusion of FireWire make this the BEST value in the new MacBook lineup.

And, ironically, the only MacBook that's really suitable for a prosumer any more (that doesn't include the MB Pros, but those start at $2000).

Get one before Apple discontinues it, 'cuz they will, and probably sooner than later.

Apple Macbook October 22, 2008

Great purchase. It's a better buy than comparable Windows based laptops, and you don't have to worry about getting a near obsolete OS (XP) or a somewhat shoddy one (Vista which may soon be succeeded by Windows 7 anyway). Also, that 32-bit versus 64-bit OS issue doesn't come up with Apple's laptops either. I highly recommend it.

macbook regular October 20, 2008
These are great computers for collage students and i have used them my self personally. As i have set several up for students going off to collage. They are increadibly fast for budget pcs and have a lot of options unlike the ibooks. The screen is also great for its size obviously bigger is better but its great fora budget one. The only problem i saw so far is my cousins one had a funny power button when you would close the lid it would immidiatley turn it self back on after a full shut down did anyone else have this problem? But other than that i have not seen any problems with these at all. I have 17 inch mackbook pro and thats great no problems at all with that one so i say yes to both depending on your budget.
