MacBook: Another Reason Why I HATE Apple.

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: Run away. Run far, far away.
Review: 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 to...

The best cheap, err.. inexpensive laptop available

Date of Review:  May 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: The best bang for your laptop buck, PERIOD. The iBook is completely forgotten.
Review: Yesterday I posted a review of the black MacBook (http://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 fills the very same niche in...

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

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a new laptop, this is your winner right here.
Review: 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...

My first Mac - and I HATE it.

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: Other laptops are a MUCH better deal, and give a LOT more features and performance.
Review: 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 love my new Macbook!!!

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: You should totally buy this computer because it is a very great computer!
Review: 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...

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

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: There are Windows, Linux, and other users. But Macs get the best of ALL worlds. Plus it has that sweet "aqua" interface.
Review: 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...

Affordable little powerhouse

Date of Review:  Sep 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: This computer is good bang for its buck. If you look at similarly-priced pc laptops, you'll see this one is just as fast/feature-laden. Truth.
Review: 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...

PC Convert Loves Mac!

Date of Review:  Aug 17, 2007
The Bottom Line: We will never own a PC again. We have wholeheartedly converted to Macintosh and highly recommend it over every other system out there.
Review: 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...

Good with Mac OSX, Windows XP only marginal

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good, but Get a MacBook Pro if you want real power
Review: 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...

A hardware dongle for Final Cut Pro

Date of Review:  Sep 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you need to run a Mac application, this is your least expensive laptop. Otherwise I'd have bought an IBM.
Review: 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...
