Comment: It's a MacBook that thinks it's a Pro Let’s get one thing straight from the off. When will Apple make up its mind about FireWire? Originally supported across the entire Mac range, when it was dropped from the 13-inch aluminium unibody MacBook in late ...
Comment: Apple is keen to describe its sleek new MacBook as its entry level laptop. And on a purely objective level, it is. The sole white, plastic notebook coming straight outta Cupertino isn’t nearly as powerful as the aluminium MacBook Pro line up, or the...

Bad: Pricey, battery's built in
Bottomline: Another winner from Apple, with the kind of skills rivals can only dream of having...
Comment: Apple’s recently refreshed Macbook range offers three computers, all of which have 13in widescreen displays.That might sound a bit small, but the fact that they’re widescreen means that there’s still a fair amount of room on screen – more than enough f...

Bad: No office software bundled,
Bottomline: A powerful computer at a very impressive price...
Comment: Il MacBook di Apple è, da sempre, uno dei dispositivi più famosi della casa di Cupertino e, seppur di prezzo superiore alla media, è da considerarsi di fascia consumer. Non a caso il MacBook è il portatile entry level di Apple, che lo ha pensato e prog...

Comment: By: Klaus Hinum 11/09/2009 After the latest revision of the cheapest Apple notebooks, a stable Unibody case is now also used in Cupertino. The small White could convince in our test with excellent input devices and exemplary emissions. Apple MacBook ...
Bottomline: The white Unibody MacBook is a well-done 13" notebook and offers a nice start into Apple's mobile notebook world. In particular the low system noise and the long battery life convince. In addition the good input devices, first and foremost the excelle...
Comment: The white MacBook was starting to look a little long in the tooth next to the aluminium MacBook Pros that were first launched late last year, but now Apple has given its plastic entry-level laptop a small spec bump and a 'unibody' makeover. It's ava...
Good: Sturdy unibody case looks great; multi-touch glass trackpad; excellent battery life
Bad: No SD Card slot or FireWire; pricey compared to the MacBook Pro
Bottomline: It's stingy of Apple to omit FireWire and an SD Card slot at this price, but, if these are features you won't miss, the MacBook is otherwise a great-value entry-level Apple laptop. If they are, you can always find them on the £899 MacBook Pro ...
Comment: Just a year ago, in October 2008, it looked like the white plastic-cased MacBook was headed for the scrap heap. Apple had just introduced a new and more expensive model sculpted out of aluminium, and although the plastic version was kept on sale to pro...
Bottomline: The creeping price increases mean that the new MacBook doesn’t offer quite the same value for money as earlier models, yet its continued success is testament to the sheer quality of Apple’s design work. There are plenty of cheaper PC notebooks...

Bad: Plus de FireWire, Abandon du récepteur infrarouge, Pas de lecteur de cartesmémoire, Pas d'adaptateur vidéo inclus
Bottomline: Le MacBook surfe sur la vague de l'Unibody pour le plus grand bonheur des consommateurs. Ce lifting apporte au MacBook blanc le petit plus qu'il lui manquait d'autant plus que les performances sont également rehaussées. Au final, le...
Comment: Macs have long been touted for their excellent design and ease of use, but have been knocked for their relativey high cost. With its new $999 MacBook—a slightly stripped down MacBook Pro in a plastic chassis—Apple has delivered a notebook that not onl...
Good: Clean, elegant unibody design, Excellent touchpad, Good graphics performance, Over five hours of battery life, Fast boot time
Bad: No SD Card reader, Tinny speakers
Bottomline: Thanks to its stellar industrial design, superior ergonomics, and above-average performance and battery life, 13-inch MacBook ($999) is a compelling buy. This notebook costs nearly the same as Windows-based competitors (like Dell Studio XPS 13) but off...
Comment: Recession or no recession, Apple’s on a roll at the moment, with several new product announcements already this year.The cheapest Apple Macbook laptop, for instance, was redesigned at the end of 2008 and cost £719, then changed in the summer of 2009 wi...
