Apple MacBook (2.0GHz, 13-inch, black)

By Justin Jaffe and Michelle Thatcher, CNET.com on 30 May 2006

With the MacBook, Apple has corrected a handful of the iBook's shortcomings, hit a reasonable price point, and delivered a laptop that makes a great compromise between size and portability.

  • Good: Stable OS
    Never get any errors
    Runs smoothly and quickly with multiple programs at the same time
    Super easy to use, even for complicated functions
    Good webcam
  • Bad: Black machine $300 extra for only a slightly larger hard drive..

  Best machine ever, and rock solid. I travel all over the world for work, and the machine never misses a beat.

  • Good: Very powerful machine able to run multiple video and audio based programs at the same time. small and easy to carry.
    Built in wireless internet is flawless
  • Bad: Upgrading to the 2GB is very necessary to see what this machine can really do.
    
    Software updates always lags behing the release of the new machines, causing user frustration.

  Fast and powerful machine, I run final cut pro on my black macbook and edited an entire episode of an hour long television show on this machine. 28hrs of non stop work and it never shut down once.

  • Good: Looks nice (but that doesnt mean it works) When it works its great but never works for long.
  • Bad: Lost alot of work due to shutdowns and errors. SO over it I wont be buying another - EVER.

  Worst ever, I regret upgrading my toshiba laptop to this. Never had so many problems. This will be the first time I will have to have a warranty repair on anything. The ads imply they have no errors, easy to use, etc but I get errors and random shut downs every time I use it. Definitely not worth the amount I spent.

  • Good: Portable Design, small enough to carry around, good screen, nice feel.
  • Bad: The black version costs $300AU more, apart from 20G more storage than the white one. graphic card really sucks, well, Apple dnt give the option to upgrade Macbook's graphics card for people find macbook pro is too big to carry around and generate too much heat when CPU is running high.
    
    For graphic designers, the same old story. Adobe is not release Universal CS products soon, so the speed is down despite the power of Intel Core 2 Duo processer....
    
    
    

  Good design with a sucker-"graphics-card"
