There's only one MacBook in town, but Apple's lowest-cost notebook doesn't feel entry level. The only MacBook left standing isn’t some neglected also-ran. With this redesign, Apple gave its most modest notebook nearly all the power and the style of the...
Lighter than predecessor. Longer battery life. Brighter display. Multi-Touch trackpad. Less heat generated; more comfortable on your lap.
No FireWire port. No IR sensor. No adapters included for DVI or VGA displays. Same port for both audioin and out.
If you don’t care about a backlit keyboard, an SD card slot, or a FireWire port, this system delivers just as much as the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which we named Gear of the Year last month. Cheeto addicts will hate the white keyboard, and the polycarbo...

The white Unibody MacBook is a well-done 13" notebook and offers a nice start into Apple's mobile notebook world. In particular the low system noise and the long battery life convince. In addition the good input devices, first and foremost the excellent g...

We all knew when mobile Nehalem processors were coming out. I kept referencing Q1 2010 as when you're going to want to replace your MacBook Pro. As far as I was concerned, there was nothing Apple could do to make me recommend anything but wait.Then th...

The latest offering from Apple Mac is impeccably timed to clash with the release of the Windows 7. Unbelievably, the Apple MacBook was launched just two days before the launch of Windows 7. We go one-on-one with the little monster and land up pretty sh...

White polycarbonate plastic looked as if its days were numbered after the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch emerged with a metallic Unibody enclosure, keeping with the look of the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Yet, Apple continued to update the plastic MacBo...
Unibody enclosure is gorgeous. Gesture-based touchpad. Glare minimized on the LED screen. Excellent performer. Good 3D horsepower. Very good battery life.
No SD Card reader. 2GB of Memory seems inadequate these days.
Like all the white MacBooks before it, the Apple MacBook (Unibody) will continue to drive sales because it's the least expensive among its brethren...

We'll just come out and say it: we're totally underwhelmed by the new plastic MacBook. Hell, we were underwhelmed by the old plastic MacBook back in June, when we reviewed the refreshed unibody MacBook Pros -- we said we were "honestly left wondering" why...
And... that's it. The MacBook is an extremely competent, utterly boring laptop that doesn't have enough ports. If you're desperate for a new Mac and you've only got a grand, it'll do you fine, and the unibody upgrade and nicer screen are certainly welcome...
