Apple Is Doing It Right

We bought this MacBook to replace a Gateway tablet PC that was plagued with the usual PC problems and never lived up to the hype over Microsoft's Windows Tablet PC Edition. It was just another bloated Windows version. While Microsoft has been developing more bloat-ware (Vista), Apple has been busy building outstanding hardware and an operating system (Leopard) that is as close to rock-solid as you can get. And now that it's possible to run Windows programs on the Mac (for the few programs you might want to use that aren't available in a Mac version), there's no reason not to dump the PC and switch to a Mac. (Windows programs run faster on a Mac than on their native platform, anyway.) We're happy we switched; this little laptop is gorgeous, fast, and the battery life is better than any PC laptop we've owned. Get one--you won't be sorry.

Great Little Computer

Works like a charm and handles everything I have thrown at it. This was a replacement for an old G3 iBook which served me well for years. The new model is thinner, brighter and a bit more refined as well as being (obviously) faster. I really like the keyboard; for some reason I make fewer typing mistakes compared with my home keyboard. My wife will be getting one soon as well.

A fantastic little computer with so much power, elegance and style for research and graduate student life

It's now eight days since I got my new MacBook "white" after more than 4 months reading and searching to get convinced enough to do that move, and pew I did it :)

Let's start with the hardware specifications, it has 13.3 inch widescreen with (LED backlight technology) this extra-awesome hyper saturated colors. (I read a few articles about LED backlighting and it differs from the old CCFL screens, you can read more about that here http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/macbook-pro-backlight-comparison-led-vs-ccfl/ ). And it has an Intel 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo processor with 4 megabytes L3 cache, 160GB 5400RPM SATA (low-noise) disk, 2.27kg weight, 5 hours-long battery and Airport Wireless card that supports 802.11n technology with awesome reception accuracy and iSight camera.

The most astonishing thing for now is the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard 64bit, AWESOME operating system, and I can really understand now why apple always said that it's the most advanced operating system in the world, they are right, it's. :) it's a very well designed for a great user experience and you'll see many snapshots in the next few posts and well. it has more than 300 new features over the previous version "Tiger 10.4 and the main thing you'll notice about mac is that it's a REAL FAST.

The great news is that most of the well known and famous applications I needed are available for mac, like microsoft office and it's open source clone open office, adobe creative suite 3, yahoo messenger, MSN messenger and iChat works as an awesome jabber chat client.

The first thing I'm so happy about is that I chose The white model. That's because the surface is very finger-print catching and can be easily scratched, but happily the white color hides most of it.

Also, it's really fast.

I use it mostly for music, internet, pictures, movies, homework pretty much what everybody uses a computer for. Also, I use it for my research, extensive statistics work and various medical work, and it works great

iLife is awesome and so is leopard (find out at apple.com)

like when you turn on your pc it has load and load and load then when the desktop finally pops up then if you click on something it takes like 1/2 an hour to open up

on this laptop it loads and and when the desktop shows you click something and it actually opens like its supposed to

I have been using pcs all my life and i just got fed up with them.

It is very nice computer to use especially during presentations (Apple Keynote is Awesome, especially, its presenter mode).

Spotlight is very effective tool for searching for papers. Also, there are limitless possibilities and solutions for scientific purposes.

Finally,

Advantages:

1- Very Fast.
2- Reliable computer.
3- Can run windows and mac osx applications (I use VMWare as a virtual machine).
4- Lots of tools for your research (example ofr nice software for research: Sente, Papers, Endnote, Yep, ...etc).
5- Stylish.
6- Perfect Screen.
7- Good Battery Life.
8- Durable (I dropped it twice).
9- Nice for chatting and communication (It's isight integration is flawless).
10- Perfect software and hardware integration.

Disadvantages:

1- Needs more RAM (At least 2 GB Ram).
2- Speakers are not so strong.

Finally,

It is a perfect laptop for a graduate student for the price.

10 years is w.a.y t..o..o l.....o.....n.............g!:)

I am happy as a clam with my new MacBook. It had been 10 years since the last upgrade so it was long overdue. I chose it over the MacBook Pro because it was lighter, doesn't dent, smaller, speedy and something like $500 less expensive!! Couldn't ask for more. Getting used to the small screen took awhile but now I'm not concerned. I'd had a 17" monitor and this one's 13". Adding Airport Extreme has made using it at home pure pleasure and I'm excited to have access to all the new apple stuff that I could only admire from afar. You'll find me sitting, standing, lying down, on my stomach, on my back, out at the picnic table, etc. with it. Trouble is it's so much more comfortable to use that I'm probably on it way too much:) The honey moon isn't over yetApple MacBook MB404LL/A 13.3" Laptop (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive) Black.

Mac Laptop

I purchased an Apple laptop out of frustration with the windows-based laptops I have had in the past. Unfortunately, I still have to run windows-based programs on the Mac. So far, it works as advertised with notably easier addition of periphreals such as printers, etc. It's a little frustrating trying to do all the things I did in Windows, and the lack of a backspace key is odd. On the more positive side, it's not stopped on me once while I have been working, even on the internet!! I'm looking forward to years of, if not trouble-free, less troublesome use with this machine.
