 My first casualty (but it need not be yours) November 14, 2008
Samuel Chell (Kenosha,, WI United States)

I'd love to echo some of the previous reviewers' sentiments about this being the "perfect" machine, but my experience testifies to the contrary. I've been an Apple owner for the past 20 years, running two machines and replacing one of them (laptop or desktop machine) every other year. The MacBook promised to be a better machine than the iBook that it replaced--faster, tighter key action, sharper screen resolution. But into the 14th month, I began editing for a site that required the use of Adobe Shock-Flash Player. Like numerous other MacBook OSXV users, I simply could not get my browser (Safari) to "see" the program, regardless of how many times I downloaded it and installed it, supplemented it with other programs designed to facilitate better functioning of the Adobe program, and followed suggested solutions--at least 10, from MacAddict articles and advisors at Apple Support.
Next, I downloaded Explorer, with the same results followed by a failure of the same suggested cures. Finally, I downloaded Firefox and had limited success. The browser was the first (and only one) to "see" Shock-Flash player on my hard-drive, thus enabling me, for example, to play as well as embed Youtube videos into articles. Perhaps I should have quit while I was ahead, saying good riddance to Explorer and Safari. But Safari, like Apple, can grow on you. I found it to be a faster and simpler browser on the Mac than Firefox and continued to use it--for several days. I've had Apples freeze up on me or slip into perpetual kernel panic mode, but none beyond resuscitation by the medic squad of Apple fans-technicians within driving distance from home.
This is the first one that gets sent in. I'm sorely tempted to swap out at this stage for the new, more powerful, aluminum unibody Macbook (the one with an illuminated keyboard), but all you have to do is read consumer reviews to know that ordering one, despite the hype from Apple, requires a considerable leap of faith at this stage. (Look elsewhere for any other Apple computer with reviews consistently under 4 stars.)
Still, I had 14 months of problem-free performance from this machine and would probably recommend it to friends and family looking for a fine laptop at under a grand. But it might not be a bad idea to deploy any savings realized from purchase of this machine toward Apple's 3-year protection plan. At least I can't say that, especially with a laptop model, I wasn't warned.
 Best computer I've ever had November 14, 2008

The Macbook is the best computer I've ever had. I will never own another PC again. The first thing I realized I loved about it was the startup time. My previous PCs took up to 5-7 minutes to completely start. This computer does everything virtually instantly. I thought the transition from windows would be difficult, but it wasn't at all. The entire system is extremely easy to use. It just takes getting used to. Everything from the address book, calendar, to mail feature is easier to use than the PC versions. I can sync my calendar and to do lists to my iPod quickly and easily. That is a great feature for being as active as I am. The only thing that took serious getting used to was the Microsoft Office applications. The layout is very different. And figuring it all out took some time. The note taking ability of Word is very different though. I like it better. It can actually look like you're writing on notebook paper and flag certain areas of the notes that are important. If that is too much for you to get used to, Macs can also run windows, so it wouldn't be a problem. Another feature that fits my lifestyle perfectly is the options with photos. With my old PC I felt like I was always uploading new software with every digital camera to make it possible to upload pictures and then other software for editing pictures. It got confusing. With the Macbook, as soon as I plugged my digital camera in it starting working. I could upload pictures, edit them, and they were never saved to an area of my computer that was hard to locate later. Everything is easier on a Mac and works in the most logical way. I love it and won't ever use anything else.
THE PERFECT LAPTOP! November 13, 2008
Shawn A. Dildine (Lafayette, IN)

Apple never ceases to amaze me with the products that they put out. Every time I turn around they have a brand now version/model of a laptop or desktop that is simply amazing. I know that when I purchase an apple I am buying something that is made with quality that I can trust. The Macbook is by far the best laptop that I have ever purchased. I made 2 other purchases towards laptops before getting my Mac, and yes they were PC laptops. Something always went wrong with one of the PCs and after a while I was tired and just wanted something that worked. I never really gave the Macbook a second thought after messing with one in the Apple Store.
Macbooks seem to have everything I need, and some. As a student it is very important to have a computer that I can trust to not crash on me while I am typing up a 20-page document for one of my research classes. It's also important for me to know that I can take my laptop to class and not be worried about the loss of too much battery. The Macbook's battery life is very impressive compared to my other laptops I have owned. I can get at least 3 hours of battery life off of the charger. IT'S AMAZING!!! I am also into graphic designing, and with the Macbook's fast processor and AMAZING Adobe Photoshop CS3 software, I can makeup something that some can only dream of. The Macbook's pristine 13.3-inch glossy screen display makes all of my graphics, along with movies and other visual items, to pop out of the screen.
If you are in the field of searching for a new laptop, I strongly encourage you to check out the Macbook, it will be a worthwhile purchase!
Macbook November 13, 2008

Excuse my english. I added my review to help other out there who are thinking about buying MacBook. So you can make your own opinion base on my experience.
I had have my MacBook more than a month ago. After one month, I turned my computer on and had white screen window..I mean nothing on it. So, I had it fixed. Now, I am worried about it. It gets hotter in 2 hrs and worried about it getting ruin, explode or wont run. Now , I wonder if I can get another MacBook and send this one back to Apple. It suppose to have one year warranty but trading it might not be acceptable. Also is anybody out there knows how I can resolve or prevent this laptop from getter hotter? I guess my comment and question.
Macbook MB404LL/A 13.3-inch Laptop November 13, 2008

I was hesitant about Mac for a long time , but I finally broke down and bought one because I was tired of viruses and software problem you get with Windows and computers that use a Windows system. It takes a while to get used to the different operating system but I will probably stick to Apple for now one.
