Customer Reviews

Trully Amazing!
This is top of the range, true class. I was a PC user who downloaded Safari for Windows XP and just fell in love with Apple's easy to use and innovative interface from then on.

Ive been using Apple products ever since the launch of the 3rd Generation iPod at HMV London all those years ago, but had never so much as touched an Apple computer. I really should have.

The black Macbook just for some reason looks so much more classy/slick/stylish than the white versions, when the Apple Logo is all lit up on the lid and you're in a dark place: it looks amazing. Serious envy. Everywhere I've taken it so far (literally everywhere) people have glared at it with such wanting eyes, especially those that know that the black version is the highest model.

The most amazing thing about the macbook is its start-up speed, ease of use (I now LOVE the one button pad), the hotkeys (i.e.Ctrl + F = Switch to Windows Vista), and ofcourse - THE ABILITY TO RUN WINDOWS!!! Parallels Desktop is the most amazing software ever created, with one click and 2 minutes I can be using Microsoft Office 2007 in WIndows Vista Business ON MY MAC. Amazing, and I would know as I use it so frequently.

Just to prove my BlackMac love: Within the first 2 weeks of owning my notebook the paint started chipping away & flaking off, at all of the edges and where the screen-lid met the body. I mean BADLY, like rub your finger on it and the spot will get bigger, badly. BUT: I rang up Amazon this morning, and within 5 minutes of describing the issue a NEW ONE was on its way to be here tomorrow!!! THAT is service. In my haste to get the issue fixed I also rang up Apple beforehand, and all they could suggest was visiting the Genius Bar in Apple Store London (15mins by Tube) and seeing what they say, so they booked me in and stuff for tomorrow (Tues) but after Amazon's Service I don't need to go anymore! [I will though, just to make my 'frustration' known. Ha]

Overall, a wicked wicked wicked notebook and I would recommend it to anyone with a lotta money! ...but not to anybody I know... cos it's nice being the only one at school with such an envious notebook!

BTW: Get this version with 160GB or 120GB at the minimum, the harddrive space will be low and nearly gone before you know it [and I'm only using it for Student-type stuff!]. + 1GB of RAM for me is just fine, no probs at all.

very impressed, sme future room for improvement though
Ok well firstly this laptop is great, expensive but great. I have had my laptop for around 8 months, i got it from pc world and had the mac lessons and one of the guys said that it seemed a bit flakey but its ok. The battery is very impressive and if your doin what im doin now ie browsing the internet with the brightest screen setting it will last for around 5 hrs. I often run my battery right down deliberatly as it tends to make the batteries last longer, and just to add try not to charge up things over night cos it will ruin the battery if you leave it connected to the mains for too long.
Anyway back to my reveiw, the batteries if your watching a dvd could last for around 3 hrs and the longest you could really make it last for is 6hrs i guess.
The mac can be very useful, it has built in bluetooth which is useful for connecting your mobile to, i also bought a wirless mighty mouse which is very good and would reccomend, also a bit over priced. The general idea of apple is that if it has their name on it the will overprice it but the are 90 times out of 100 it will be good quality. The wirless internet or 'airport' can be a bit hit and miss occasionally when going on the internet but is normally ok.
The isight i just want to mention can not be used on MSN, but it can be used on skype and apples own chatty things "very discriptive" There is no flash on it but it is still very good. If you want to make videos you have to go on imovie. I was a bit dissapointed though about msn, you can also add funny effects on the pictures as many people know and then can be used on msn or internet profile.
Im going to quickly skim through the rest now.
iphoto is very fun and you can use up your time on it sorting out pics and albums changing the lighting etc.
itunes is the same as windows
i bought microsoft office for this which im very impressed with and i also got student discount at the mac shop which is brill.
some of the softwear that it comes with, like windows, you dont need to use but often have an urge to know what it is, trust me you dont really need it like the apple script softwear.
the widgets, calendar and address book is all very fun and useful.
it comes with garage band also which is fun.

also i suppose i must add that the memory is very big and i dont think i will be using it all anytime soon. literally thousands of pics and music etc etc can be stored and much much more.
i do reccomend that you look on the apple downloads bit for extra widgets and softwear, especially for spywear protection etc strongly reccomend macscan.

overall this is very fun laptop compared to windows and i would reccomend it if you have a spare £1000 odd once you get your games and other softwear and hardwear. Good investment overall in i look forward to using it when doing my coursework for gcses because you can do some really different things when on word.
the general quality is great and the colour is nice too.
hope you found this useful as it took me about 10 minutes.

Awesome Machine
I'm sitting here writing this review on my new Apple Macbook and after the two nonsensical bad reviews below, I'd like to redress the balance.

This is an awesome laptop.

I'm already a big Apple Mac fan after making the slightly scary switch from a Windows PC to an Apple iMac a couple of years ago. Generally I have never once regretted it and I really feel like I'm slumming it if I have to use a Windows PC for any reason. Mac OSX is truly a more intuitive, user friendly and more reliable platform than the clunky, crash prone Windows.

I still, however, have a few slight issues about moving to Mac OSX. One is that although Microsoft Office for Mac allows you to open Powerpoint documents, it doesn't support ActiveX so some interactive features don't work. A minor niggle for most, but I'm a teacher and until now my presentations haven't been as good as they should have been. Another problem is that some programs still aren't released on Mac. I have a great little program that allows me to clean up sound quality on vinyl recordings but it's Windows only.

The solution?

An Apple Macbook with Intel Core 2 Duo processor. This brilliant feature allows me to run Windows XP (avoid Vista) alongside Mac OSX. Just download Apples brilliant Bootcamp software and follow the easy instructions to creat a completely separate partition on the hard drive for Windows. It's genius! You can boot it up in either mode and drag files into either partition from the desktop. Therefore when I absolutely have to, Windows is at my disposal. The only problem is that the computer will be vunerable to viruses etc. when in Windows mode so antivirus software will be needed which it's not on Mac OSX.

Apart from all that, the Macbook is a sleek, good looking powerhouse that works faster than my iMac and contains a massive 160GB hard drive. Then you have all the brilliant features such as spotlight (superfast file search), iLife, and much more.

Brilliant.
