I never thought I would buy a Mac, ever. I heard some great reports from friends, and even noodled around a bit ... but it always seemed the price point was just too high for me to justify. — Then my laptop died right about the same time Vista came out. I wanted no part of that, and buying… read full review »

50% of these things in my office have completely shut down. Just crapped out. Maybe we're doing something wrong? Not to mention it's hard to even make a PDF or PPT that works on PCs. — — And can talk about how awful these things look when they get dirty. It's gross. Get a black one is… read full review »

I love my macbook. The size is great and I carry it in my purse. The battery life is good for working in coffee shops.  Setting up digital cameras is always a breeze as was settting up the wireless printing with my airport.  My only complaint is the occasional software that I can't use because there isn't MAC compatibility.  Whenever I have a problem, the Mac Geniuses are able to help me down at the Apple store, but problems have rarely… read full review »

At first I was a little skeptical of the Mac-craze. I knew a few of those "mac-happy" people who put the little apple bumper stickers on their car, and talked about Apple products all day long. It sort of freaked me out a little, and I didn't want to give in to their admonishments. However, when I went to purchase a new laptop, I found myself buying a brand new Apple Macbook. I fell in love from the first moment. It was slightly different to use at first, with different buttons to do different things, and the x-out being on the left not the right (terribly complicated! lol). But this was the… read full review »

After many years of using and building PC's I finally decided to try out a Mac.  My first one was 4 years ago.  It was an Emac.  My husband likes it and I have NO Viruses.  I still bought PC laptops and used them along with my Mac.  Now with the duo core technology I have the best of both worlds on my… read full review »

I've been using a Mac at home since 1995, and have used IBM compatibles at work for just as many years. There is nothing like a Mac for user friendliness. No error messages, and viruses are almost nonexistent. — The Macbook is a nicely sized, easy to use laptop, that has gone on vacation with me many times, and has always been compatible with hotel wi-fi systems and is tough enough to make it through airport security over and over again. I use iPhoto to download my digital pictures on the go, and my iTunes can keep me company in my hotel room. The speakers are not the best, and… read full review »

I would begin by saying that I was a little scare when I first bought my MAC, being a PC user all my life I thought it was going to be a pain learning how to use a new operating system. But once I turned my MAC on I became a MAC lover, the interface is so easy to use that I didn't really need to relearn as much as what I thought. Everything is a keystroke or click away when your using a MAC, and the best part of all is that if you do find yourself not knowing how to use a program or if something goes wrong with your MAC, all you have to is called Apple's friendly customer service which has… read full review »

This computer is amazing. I wanted a Mac for so long and I thought switching over from a PC would be difficult...it turned out to be totally simple! The screen is 13", super bright and glossy. Its so conviently sized and lightweight you can take it anywhere with you. The Apple Airport picks up wireless singnals easily and quickly. Another fun feature of the MacBook is the built-in iSight camera. Using the photobooth application you easily take photos of yourself and your friends, I even took a few of my dog! This laptop also makes organizing folders and files for work or school a breeze, it… read full review »

This is a great basic laptop. There are definitely more add ons that make it better, but I have a pretty basic version. It is easy to use, everything seems pretty intuitive, like most Macs. I have the white, which gets dirty easily, which is very annoying. I would recommend getting a keyboard cover to keep it looking cleaner. I've had some problems with the ethernet breaking, but other than that it's been pretty good. It's a nice size; substantial enough for me not to feel like I'm going to break it but small enough that it's not a burden to lug around with me. I've had it for almost two… read full review »

A Mac computer is for everybody! A person who can't stand waiting on those slow windows machines! Simplicity is a plus. It is so simple. You get the computer home, you turn it on, and your done! Just like that you are on your brand new Macintosh and going. The laptops are so light, so fast, and so bright. The batteries generally last 4 hours. You might think that a 13 inch screen is small, well its not. It seems like it is huge. The computer is so light. It is so quiet. The nifty little camera on the screen takes great pictures and makes an awsome video chat!! — —… read full review »

I just got my apple macbook and I love it. I was torn between purchasing a macbook or macbook pro. I opted for the macbook and I am so glad because I feel it does everything to the best of my expectations. It has many great features with photos and music is very accessible. It is durable, compact, and is great for college students. Its compatible with other computers. But I feel the best part of the macbook is its speed and that it never gets viruses. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone considering a macbook. Its worth it! —… read full review »

I don't know too much about computers but this lap-top has changed my life. One of the best things about it is that it comes with a lot of features already installed, like a web-cam, e-mail account with mac subscription, built in wireless. Above all it is helping me keep track of my writing, composing, phone numbers, addresses, pictures, music. It's like having a secretary, get one... —… read full review »

After a lifetime of using PCs, I took a job that required me to use Mac systems. After a year and a half, I bought my own MacBook, which I love! I loaded it with VMware Fusion, and now I have the best of both worlds. I have all the PC applications I have loved for years, as well as the user-friendly and awesome Mac applications. Nothing could be better! — —… read full review »

We have a house full of Mac computers, but this is the first one that is just mine. I love Macs anyway - so much easier to use, more reliable, and much more intuitive than the PC I am forced to use at work. This laptop is great - I can work out in the yard or in front of the TV or on my bed. —… read full review »
