Cool features

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2007
Review: Great features for the price range. Built in camera and microphone. No need for webcam. It also allows you to take pictures using photo-booth.

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...

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...

Best laptop for the price!

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2007
Review: I've had this laptop since May 06 shortly after it came out. Although I've had some hardware problems with it (heat sink replacement, wrist area discoloration) all problems have been resolved to my satisfaction. The size and weight couldn't be...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Lovin it way too much!

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: Please! Do yourself a favor and get the better valued 2gz model that has 1gb ram preinstalled, 20 more gig HD, and faster disc drive.
Review: 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...

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...
