Strengths: Awsome speed. built in wireless internet connections, and bluetooth, quite, right outa the box ready for anything u throw at it.

Weaknesses: gets a little hot in top left of pc, on bottom. Allthough the white is pretty sick lookin, it attractes dirt and hair easy, and its easy to see it all on it...other than that, its perfect.

Overall: I bought my Macbook about 2 months ago and no problems what so ever with it, its a mac so if u dont run windows on it u wont have to worry about the security on it, like viruses and stuff. I highly recommend buying this product, one of the best.

Strengths: Very very portable, which was one of the key features I was looking for in a laptop. Very sharp screen, I love the way images and movies show up on it. 2 1/2 - 4 hrs battery life.

Weaknesses: Power, not really disappointed because I knew it was only running a 1.83 GHz processor. Speakers, the speakers suck but it is a laptop;

Overall: I love this thing. Been a Windows user since Windows 95 and used to be a Mac basher, but like they say "Don't knock it 'til you try it". Well I tried it and within a week I was as comfortable on Mac OS X as Windows XP. The differences between the OS's didn't really bother me that much probably because I lived on a Linux machine for several months and Max OS X isn't that far from some of the Linux distributions out there. Just like with Windows, it doesn't come with an Office Suite but if you really need one and don't want to shell out the $$ dollars for one, you can download a copy of OpenOffice.org for free. Mac OS X 10.4 which is what is shipped with this machine does not support the latest version of Java (Java 6), so from a developmental standpoint you won't have the cutting edge features that were added in java 6 but i believe the OS updater updates the java version to 5. I spent my first night with my Macbook updating the OS, but it was all done on one battery charge.

Strengths: Fast computer, very very stable, elegant and easy to use operating system, easy to use wireless with excellent & long wireless range

Weaknesses: None

Overall: I sold my macbook pro and bought the macbook. For $1000.00 less, you get a smaller screen, but better wireless reception and even longer battery life. This is a GREAT laptop. The other reviews are right.

Strengths: Great price, next day delivery. Powerful little bugger. Love the bright, glossy screen. Front Row is an awesome plus!

Weaknesses: Advertised as a 60GB hard drive, arrived as a 35GB (!?) Guess I'll delete some of the demos and whatnot. Speakers could use a little punching up - they're kind of quiet.

Overall: I took delivery on a 13.3" MacBook Intel Core Duo 2GHz with SuperDrive (white) and I have to say that I am extremely pleased with it. Great price, hot features, happy boy. As the owner of a G4 Quicksilver desktop, I can say that even at 512MB RAM - this is one fast machine. The cost of 1GB of extra memory was cheaper elsewhere, so I went with that. It was a cinch to connect the MacBook with my G4 by ethernet cable and transfer files back and forth. Also got up and running on the internet quickly. Though I can't run Final Cut Pro due to the lack of a decent graphics card, this laptop will handle music recording duties just fine! Well worth the investment (and the wife will get this one when I graduate to a MacBook Pro later this year.)

Strengths: stronger than armenian b.o.

Weaknesses: weaker than arnold's tooth gap

Overall: I friggin love the lil book. She doesn't over heat or hasn't even hiccuped. iLife is awesome. The macbook looks and runs better than any other ( I upgraded to 2g ram ). whenever I use someone's pc or g4 i feel kinda sorry for them. The macbook makes me feel like king of the castle while the peasants peck away at their stone tablets. The core 2 duo was just released after I got the core duo. That sucked but the 4mb cache would've been faster than my 2mg. that's life
