The best cheap, err.. inexpensive laptop available

by lawman67 lawman67 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Computer Hardware, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, May 21 '06
Pros: Fast, slim, terrific keyboard and all the modern Apple features
Cons: glossy screen has a lot of reflection, looks cheaper than the black
Yesterday I posted a review of the black MacBook (h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _232258440836) and ultimately came to the conclusion that while it is a beautiful machine, it isn't for me. At its $1500 price point it ...

by Candice923 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 26 '06
Pros: good machine design
Cons: closes programs and shuts down unexpectedly, electric shocks, unreliable
I hate Macs. I really, really do. Now, before you go judging this review before you even read it, please know that I didn't go into owning this computer, the Apple MacBook Mac Notebook, with a bad attitude. Granted, I would have MUCH preferred ...

My First Mac....And I LOVE IT!

by gogoose16 , Jun 18 '06
Pros: Overall look of the computer, lightweight, virus free, great programs
Cons: Battery cord, the edge of the computer is a bit sharp
I've been using an IBM laptop or some form of a PC since I was first able to use a computer, when I was about 5 years old. I'm a junior at North Carolina State University and decided it was time for a change. I did a lot of research and was originally ...

My first Mac - and I HATE it.

by steveinkc , Jan 07 '07
Pros: Sharp display. Good parental controls. GarageBand & PhotoBooth (included programs) are fun.
Cons: Horrible Office Performance. Runs VERY hot. Lack of 3rd party software.
I purchased this laptop for my daughter 6 months ago. This is the first Mac I've ever owned. I was looking for a laptop that had good parental controls and one that was easy to use. There are some great features on this laptop, but overall, I'm VERY ...

I've used both Microsoft and Linux operating systems. But Mac is now my favorite!

by photog87 , Dec 13 '06
Pros: light-weight, no viruses, good battery life, able to run Windows
Cons: Safari quits, lack of good word-processing application out of the box.
After many years of switching back and forth between various Windows operating systems, as well as Linux (RedHat, SuSe, etc...) mainly due to my dad's (and mom's) computer habits, I was finally free to make my own computer choices! I appreciate Linux ...

College and Professionals Should Test Drive First

by nuned , Sep 17 '06
Pros: OS X Tiger features are great!
Cons: OS X Tiger will become obsoleted by OS X Leopard
I was very excited about buying the Apple MacBook for myself. It would have been a good alternative to always working at home on my desktop (Apple G5 iMac, which I love!). But when my brother, who is in college, needed a new laptop for school I came to ...

Affordable little powerhouse

by squirlee_t , Sep 21 '06
Pros: small, thin, relatively lightweight, fast startup and computing, tight resolution, battery life, screen brightness
Cons: integrated graphics. all plugs on left (it awkward dude), Glare in some places
I just got my 1.8 ghz mac mini yesterday and I already know it is the best computer purchase i've made. First of all, after you have used it a couple of times, it starts up extremely quick. Much quicker than my $2000 powerbook did when that was new. ...

Good with Mac OSX, Windows XP only marginal

by jcr206 , Oct 28 '07
Pros: Very compact, excellent battery, New software allows more seamlessness between Windows
Cons: DVD Rom drive not reliable, Windows doesn't run as good as Mac OSX (see description)
Mac has a lot of good products on the market, and this base model MacBook is one of them. I have owned mine since Oct. 06 and it has given me fine performance for its price. I payed the extra 160 bucks for the optional Windows XP which shares half of my ...

PC Convert Loves Mac!

by italianeleganc , Aug 17 '07
Pros: Virus free, Magnetic power cord, Garage Band, iPhoto, iTunes, iDVD, can watch movies, comfortable keyboard.
Cons: Must purchase programs for document prep (ie. Pages or Microsoft Office for Mac $$$).
This was our first Mac, our first laptop and our first stress-free computer experience. We learned about Mac after our fourth PC crashed....yet again. The Mac takes some getting used to, however it is very easy to adapt to and is more than worth the ...

If this doesn't convert PC users, what will???

by imaggie , Nov 25 '07
Pros: Light, drool worthy, easy to use, packed w/great programs, still love it after a yr
Cons: White shows dirt, but cleans up easy. PC users who bash Macs.
Yes, I'm a long time Mac lover. This is my 4th & 5th mac (yes, I loved it so much I bought a second so I didn't have to share with my kids). (And by the way, I still own 3 of those 5 macs, I only sold the other 2 because I felt guilty owning 5 computers ...

Pretty cool laptop, but takes A LOT of getting used to.

by gracielor , Dec 06 '07
Pros: Very fast, great display, good-looking
Cons: Takes a while to get used to, no double-click, hard to highlight words
If you are considering purchasing your first Mac, then you should be aware that it takes a whole lot of getting used to. This computer is very very diffrerent from Windows and it can be very tricky to use. Specifically, MacBook screens are a rectangle ...

Cheap Price, Cheap Parts

by yaboy125 , Sep 05 '06
Pros: Light weight, doesn't overheat, overall good quality
Cons: Defective parts, loud CD drive
I bought my MacBook for school, and as such I went though the local bookstore to buy my computer. Thankfully, I picked a package that came equipped with a 3 year warranty, because while I love my MacBook, it has broken several times. Each time, it was a ...

Lovin it way too much!

by fam600 , Dec 07 '06
Pros: OSX rocks, especually when it's on a laptop.
Cons: 512mb of ram defeats the purpose of dual core processing.
First of all let me say that PC laptops suck. I mean it, i'll tell you that when people say Mac OSX is better than XP, you better not get arrogent on them because you need to use OSX for a week to experience what they love. No fancy 0x00000d1 crap in ...

A hardware dongle for Final Cut Pro

by expert_witness , Sep 20 '06
Pros: Runs Final Cut Pro and IChat.
Cons: Support's a pain, the machine's not top notch, but what choice do I have?
I purchased two laptops almost simultaneously -- this MacBook for using Final Cut, and a Thinkpad T60 for everything else. Though OS-X is supposedly a hugely stable operating system, I find it is as buggy and prone to crashing as anything else I've ever ...

Pros: keyboard, camera, size, speed, great customer service if you buy it, the power cord
Cons: the power cord,
I Iove my new macbook! It is so easy to set up and get going! I could even connect it to my iMac and transfer data from there. It was very easy to get connected to a wireless network. It gets a little hot underneath, but I don't beleive there is a ...
