Product Description

Manufacturer's Description:

What do you get when you put up to 2GHz of pure Intel Core Duo power, an iSight camera, Front Row, iLife ’06 and a 13-inch glossy widescreen display into a sleek case? More than you thought possible for less than you thought possible. Meet MacBook.

Now the Intel Core Duo is as affordable as it is powerful. With MacBook, you get the world’s fastest mobile architecture in a beautifully designed notebook that costs less than slower, clunkier models. That’s like getting a sports car for the price of a scooter. Of course, MacBook holds more than your average two-seater: up to 80GB hard drive, an optional DVD-burning SuperDrive, built-in Bluetooth, wireless-ready (802.11g) AirPort and up to 2GB of RAM. And for the first time ever, choose bright white or sleek black.

Every MacBook comes with iLife ’06 — an amazing suite of applications that make it easy to live the digital life. Use iPhoto to share entire high-res photo albums with anyone who’s got an email address. Record your own songs and podcasts with GarageBand. Break into indie filmmaking with iMovie HD and iDVD. Then take all the stuff you made on your MacBook and share it on the web in one click with iWeb. Just turn on your MacBook and you’re halfway there.

MacBook features Front Row, so you can navigate your movies, music, photos and more at the touch of the included Apple Remote — no matter where you roam. Give an impromptu slideshow of your holiday photos in your favourite café. Screen your latest iMovie on the train. Watch a DVD in bed. MacBook and Front Row give you the best seat in the house (or out of it).

Look closely. See that little lens in the display bezel? That’s the MacBook’s built-in iSight camera. Use it to video chat simply by opening iChat AV and clicking on a buddy icon (or three). Or fire up Photo Booth and take a few snapshots with the iSight, play around with sixteen fun effects, then admire your handiwork. That little camera lets you create Web-ready videos, too. Just open up iMovie and start the action. From there, iWeb makes it one-click easy to get your talking head on the Web. Looks like fun.

Thanks to a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display that’s 79% brighter with 30% more viewing area than the iBook before it, MacBook provides the perfect combination of pixels and portability. Photos feel crisper. Movies play vividly. Even daily tasks like surfing the Web and checking email take on a whole new sheen.

The built-in wireless capability of MacBook puts the "world" back in "World Wide Web". If there’s a wireless hot spot nearby, you can get online. No need to burn valuable surfing time configuring your computer. Just open it up. MacBook automatically detects wireless networks within range and asks nicely if you’d like to join any of them. That’s it. Catch up on your blog, share this weekend’s trip as a photocast, or just chat with your friends. Anytime, anywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love my MacBook!!, 5 Jun 2006

By	Gill Kingston (Mid Wales, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been a windows user for years and years (for ever actually!) then 4 months ago i switched to a Mac (with the assurance from my computer geek hubby that it would all be 'ok'!) .. I am a complete convert! - it took me about 3 days to feel totally at home with the new set-up .. it's sleek and instinctive (<-- this one is VITAL for me!) ..
My first machine was the G4 12" iBook but once I saw the MacBook 13" was being relased I had to upgrade .. the screen is awesome, much clearer than the iBook, I love the slightly different keyboard set-up and the whole machine works well together .. it is noticeably faster than my iBook (I wasnt sure if I'd notice it or not) ..
The only 'slight' problem I have at the moment is that it's not totally at ease with some java and macromedia flash applications but I'm assuming they will sort that out fairly soon (hopefully!) ..
All in all I am completely satisfied .. I LOVE that I dont have to reboot and that a program hasnt frozen up on me in months!! (a distinct impossibility with my windows machine!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality Apple Hardware, 26 Jun 2006

By	Matthew Frost - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have purchased a Macbook, to go with my G5 Tower.
I have been using Macs for 7 years, and I find that OSX is just so far ahead of WinXP.
OSX never crashes, no virus problems, and it just works. Everything is so simple.
The screen on the Macbook is of the glossy type, which concerned me a bit, but I have found that in use, it delivers vibrant colours, and the reflection is minimal. The screen is also very bright, and in most situations I end up turning the brightness down, even when outdoors.
Unfortunately Apple ship all the Macbook models with only 512MB of RAM, which really does not show off what this amazing machine can do. I would recommend upgrading to 1GB as soon as possible to get the best from this machine.
Applications run quickly, even those running under rosetta (non intel apps).
The graphics is based on a limited graphics chip sharing system RAM, compared with the Macbook Pro, which has a dedicated graphics card with its own RAM. I was concerned that this may be a problem, but unless running very intensive 3D games it is not. Photos display quickly, even large RAW images. Video plays smoothly, and overall I have seen no problems with the grapphics.
The are many reviews stating how hot this machine gets in use. It does get hot underneath, but even after several hours use the CPU temp is only 53C. Really not a problem.
The magsafe power connector is a superb design. I only wonder why is has taken so long. It is far better than those on any other laptop I have owned. The risk of accidentally pulling the computer on the floor is massively reduced.
Battery life is really good. I am getting around 4hours, with WiFi on.
Overall this is a laptop well worth the money. I am really enjoying owning it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great upgrade product - even from older PowerBooks, 29 May 2006

By	Matthew Thompson "M_at" (Maidenhead, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There's a reason the MacBook took a few months to be released by Apple after releasing the MacBook Pro - because if they'd released this little stunner first no-one would have bought the MacBook Pro!

I received my MacBook two days ago and it's been running great all the time. It's replacing my 15month old 1.5Ghz Powerbook 15" and consistently puts in a good 2x performance with real world applications despite having half the memory (My Powerbook ran with 1Gb but my MacBook is a stock 512Mb)

The speed increase aleviates the need to upgrade to 1Gb for every day work but power users will need the extra memory, especially if they use PowerPC applications as the Rosetta technology steals a little from the main memory.

The same is true of the built in Intel 950 graphics chipset. Alot of scare mongering has been going on regarding Apple's choice to use Intel's latest integrated graphics chipset but this new system can happily resize HD video on the fly while minimizing a window where my PowerBook struggled to even play the HD video properly.

If you're a curent PowerBook user and don't need the huge screen res or express card (And don't want to use Aperture) then take good look at this as it's replacement. If you're a Windows user and want a high powered laptop wih great build quality and specification then you may find the Apple is also for you - it's currently almost �300 cheaper than other laptops with the same chipset and processor!
