"Best computer I've ever owned"
on by kfordham281Pros design, OS X, iSight, two finger scroll, mag safe power adapter
Cons Shared video memory, no PC card slot
Summary I bought my first Mac and first laptop when I purchased a C2D 2.0Ghz white Macbook back in February. I upgraded to 2GB RAM and a 120GB HDD. Combined with Parallels, this laptop can run any OS and software program you want. I've used Windows since 3.11 and coming to OS X Tiger has been amazing. OS X is such a feature complete OS and is surprisingly easy to use. OS X is very intuitive and easy to pick up if you are coming from the Windows world.
So far I have been very happy with this purchase. The laptop has performed very well and is easy to carry around in my messenger bag. If you are thinking about switching to the Mac, just go ahead and do it. You will not be disappointed. -
"It is an awesome laptop."
on by x0alaina23Pros This laptop is an awesome laptop. It has great speed, takes clear photos with the webcam, you can hear things well on this laptop, so many great features. I love the Macbook, I recomend this item.
Cons Hmm thats a hard one. I think everythings great about it.
Summary I like this laptop because its sooooo easy to use, the webcam isn't a cheap webcam, the internet has an amazing speed, if i loose something on this laptop i don't even have to worry... it saves it! I love that, its amazing! The battery lasts forever.. and it has sooo much memory. And like I said, i love this item.. there's nothing bad about it, I don't dislike any of these amazing features this laptop has.

"Apple, I'm out!"
on by EAB31Pros easy to use
Cons service, warranty, parts, price
Summary This was my first Mac. I previously had a H-P laptop for 4 years with no problems.
In the two years I had my Mac I bought four batteries, a new hard drive and now I have a total failure. I paid for everything but the first battery because of Mac's crappy warranty. Dealing with customer service is a nightmare-everyone tells you something different and the result is after spending hours on the phone nothing is done. Macs may be "sexy" but they are poorly made and the company doesn't stand behind it's product. -
"EFI means Steve Jobs doesnt let you put the OS you really want by creating a new """standard""""
on by Riant RondcarréPros it incarnates the dream of a simple computer
Cons There is no simple computer
Summary I use it to do maths, but i cant play games the way games should be played (to me games are easy and fun and played by people in the same room). Perhaps i should buy myself a PS3. Or a Wii. But certainly not an Xbox, because americans cant be right about everything. Or at least Bill Gates.

"The Simplicity of the design is optimum, this is perhaps the most mobile, powerful, and easy to use."
on by Nick ComerPros Lightweight, Very media integrated, very sleek. Setup is the easiest thing I had ever done on a computer.
Cons Lots of Kinks around the first few months. But nothing ProCare can't workout.
Summary If you have the money and are looking for a powerful, mobile, sexy, computer. This is the computer. Usually with powerfulness comes ugliness and bigness. Not with the MacBook, this is a simple, easy to use, powerful computer.
