Excellent Apple (and Windows) performance now at a reasonable price

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a high performance, light-weight notebook with excellent battery efficiency, that runs both OSX and WindowsXP, and doesn't cost a fortune, the MacBook won't disappoint.
Review: Product Specifications:
MacBook 13.3" screen, 60gb hard drive, 512mb DDR2 RAM, 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, DVD/RW burner.

If you love your ipod . . .

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: READ Apple's support and warranty policy before you buy. Are you read to fix it yourself?
Review: READ TO THE END OF THIS REVIEW FOR IMPORTANT UPDATE - this computer WOULD be a 5-star item if not for Apple's shady practices re: phone support.

If you love your ipod then you will love this laptop!

I spent years and years using...

Almost Too Awesome For Words!

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you want a quality laptop, and don't mind a small learning curve, it can't be beat. Recommended for anyone:Grandma,the shutterbug,the geek,the average joe.
Review: I had been considering buying a Mac for about a year now, but had never quite gotten around to it-fears of an expensive doorstop, the learning curve, etc.
Then Apple came out with the re-design of the iBook, now called MacBook, and featuring...

EXCELLENT DESIGN, FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2007
The Bottom Line: No viruses, spyware, no fighting with the OS, great price, and it just looks great!
Review: I just received my 13" MacBook about week ago (on February 6th, 2007) and have already completely abandoned the windows world after 15+ years of fighing with Windows PCs. This MacBook has everything you need (except a word processor, I bought MS...

Meet George the MacBook, Computer Of My Dreams

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: Take home your own MacBook and learn why Apple leads the pack in user loyalty
Review: I've been a Mac user for decades, so I'm fairly loyal, and my old Macs have certainly served me well. (See my review of my trusty iMac http://www99.epinions.com/content_219712228996.) After many years of faithful use, I finally decided to upgrade...

This is a great MAC, but beware the colored lines!

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is a great MAC BOOK that handles data quickly and easily. Just don't expect full battery time that Apple predicts!
Review: So now I have your attention! I said I loved my new white MAC BOOK, but what is this about colored lines? Here's the story, and all you MAC BOOK people should be aware of this, because as they used to say in the old TV show "Racket Squad", "it can...

I'll never go back to Windows

Date of Review:  Nov 6, 2006
Review: After many years of being a diehard Windows man, I made the jump to a Mac. I've had a number of windows based computers over the years including over 3 IBM Thinkpads, 2 HP laptops, and a NEC laptop. The MacBook beats all of the others hands down...

Cheapest of the Mac laptops

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2009
The Bottom Line: OK for a laptop and a Mac but a little small, sometimes quirky, and very fragile keyboard.
Review: This machine is quite nice and now that it is a little "old", it's much cheaper on the after-market.

I won't compare the vitures of PC to Mac, but I will compare the features. You have a paltry 2 USB slots that are so close together that is...

First Time Apple User - no complaints yet.

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended.
Review: I am a longtime PC user and until recently, when I lost all my data on my harddrive due to an unknown crash that would cost me, over 1K to fix, I preferred PCs. I mainly used my desktop for email,word processing, digital pictures, digital movies,...

Impressions of OS X on my new MacBook

Date of Review:  Nov 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you're looking to try out the best general operating system around, you can't go wrong with the white MacBook.
Review: I used Windows for a long time, but eventually became dissatisfied for reasons that I won't go into here. I then moved to Linux, but just last week bought my first Apple computer: a white MacBook. Yes, there are a hundred of these reviews out there...
