+ Not an apple user before buying this but now I am converted. The MacBook is so much faster than my XP laptop and I have configured it to use Windows Vista as a virtual machine so my favourite windows programs are still available to me.

- No complaints at all - be aware though you do have to purchase or have available windows operating system disks and some form of virtual machine software to use as a Windows machine as well.

Score 9.0/10

+ Design pretty decent, it just works. Lots of included software and fairly good shape, but wished it was abit more lighter. It won't run many games but warcraft 3 seems to run fine

- need to buy lots of extras such as DVI/D-sub video out cables, glossy screens are better for colour but i prefer matt screens due to less glare.

TechRadar expert review

Apple's transition to Intel processors in 2006 made its technology more accessible than ever. Allowing users to run Apple's Mac OS X operating system side-by-side with Microsoft Windows, the Apple MacBook (¬£999 inc. VAT) is a powerful and versatile portable system.For home and office use, Mac OS X provides impressive usability. Due to Apple's low market share, most PC viruses are designed to target Microsoft Windows. This makes the MacBook a safer system by default for online use. If you require access to Windows XP, it can easily be installed alongside OS X, using Apple's free Boot…

Laptop Buyers' Guide  

Manufacturer's Description

The new MacBook is the fastest ever, with Intel Core 2 Duo processors up to 2.16GHz and 1GB of memory standard. Choose MacBook in black or white, both with a brilliant, 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display. Nearly one inch thin, 5.1 pounds, 100% perfect for anyone who wants power in an affordable package.

Powerful performance
Every MacBook is faster and more powerful than ever with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. It delivers extraordinary performance in a portable package, designed for life on the go.

Front Row + Apple Remote
Browse the music, photos, and videos on your Mac as easily as you browse music on your iPod — from anywhere in the room, whether living room, dorm, hotel, or office.

Details that matter
Impeccable design sets the MacBook apart. You’ll enjoy turning heads wherever you go, but Apple design is much more than skin deep. Every part of MacBook is carefully planned, chosen, and placed to make the most superlative computer in every dimension.

Built-in iSight camera
Artfully placed above every MacBook display is an integrated iSight camera, for instant video chats or to capture a candid for your photo or video blog. No configuration, no hassle. It all just works, using software included with Mac OS X and iLife ’06.

Your amazing stuff
Every Mac comes with iLIfe ’06, a suite of critically acclaimed applications that make it easy for you to make photo books, greeting cards, calendars, DVDs, websites, and podcasts.

Long-lasting performance
Mac OS X is clearly superior when it comes to power management. For instance, MacBook Pro dims the display when you’re in a dark room. Just one of the many ways your MacBook conserves energy, optimizing both AC and battery power.

Widescreen display
The gorgeous, bright display of MacBook lets you see it all, right before your eyes in pristine clarity. Keep several chats going while you browse the web. Or all of your palettes while you perfect a masterpiece.

MagSafe Power Adapter
Juice up your MacBook with a magnetic power connection. Tripping over the cord doesn’t send your MacBook flying off a table or desk; it simply breaks cleanly away, without damage to either the cord or the system.

Built-in wireless
AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi lets you connect to 802.11n as well as 802.11a/b/g wireless networks. Bluetooth 2.0+EDR offers fast connections to peripherals such as cell phones, mice, keyboards, and more. Mac OS X lets you use both right out of the box without a hassle.
