Machined from a solid piece of aluminum, the new MacBook is thinner, lighter, and more powerful than ever. The streamlined enclosure slides easily into backpacks and briefcases and is stunning in any setting. Open your MacBook and you're instantly greeted by glorious full screen brightness. The brilliant, ultrathin LED-backlit display provides instant full screen brightness and enhances any media viewing experience. Power your way through the 3D environments of Quake, Call of Duty, and Spore. NVIDIA delivers discrete-level graphics with up to five times the performance, so you can immerse yourself in faster, smoother, more lifelike 3D gameplay. Click anywhere on the all-new glass Multi-Touch trackpad?the spacious, smooth surface doubles as the button. Multi-Touch gestures now come to the MacBook, so you can use your fingers to swipe through photos, rotate an image, and pinch to zoom in and out. With the new four-finger swipe gesture, access Exposé modes and toggle between open applications. Inside the new MacBook is a powerful Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 2.0GHz with an increased 1066MHz frontside bus and next-generation 1066MHz RAM. That faster memory lets you quickly and easily manipulate large, complex files and keep more applications open at once. All of this with a full-size keyboard at just 0.95" thin and 4.5 pounds, MacBook is truly the next generation of notebooks. 13.3 Glossy (1280 x 800) LED Backlit Widescreen Display Built-in iSight Camera and internal omnidirectional microphone NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB Shared Video Memory 8X Slot-loading SuperDrive (DVD+-R DL/DVD+-RW/CD-RW) AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Wireless (802.11a/b/g/n) Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Ports - 2 x USB 2.0, Digital/Analog Line In; Digital/Analog Line Out, Mini DisplayPort, RJ-45, MagSafe Power Port Unit Dimensions - 12.78 (W) x 0.95 (H) x 8.94 (D) Unit Weight - 4.5 Pounds

Basically i love everything about it and i'd recommend this laptop to everyone.

Summary: A great buy for anyone in a creative field
Comment: The MacBook is the perfect choice for anyone in any creative field that's looking for a good, reliable machine to keep them productive. After years of PC use, I switched to Mac's (this being my second) and will never go back to anything other than a Mac. The tools and applications are endless and will help you create what you need to and beyond. Not to mention they're the coolest looking computers out there. I recommend this to anyone and everyone. If you aren't doing heavy-duty stuff, you'll be okay with the lower end MacBook.

Summary: Most Excellent
Comment: What's not to like? Perfect size for traveling.... lots of speed, memory and a nice size hard drive. Runs cool and the battery life is great. The aluminum chassis is easy to keep looking new and feels rock solid. The screen resolution and clarity is awesome...
Cons: None that I have found at this point....

Summary: I love my Mac!
Comment: My husband bought me this Mac for Christmas and I am absolutely in love with it. I have been a life long windows users. Well, never again. I just can't see myself going back. This laptop is super fast. I feel like it can anticipate what my next move is going to be and it gets started on it right away. The start up on this thing is so fast. The programs open and close like a breeze. The laptop itself feels really solid. I love the look much better than the white one. The built in camera is good. I like the backgrounds you can add to your pictures. The trackpad is great once you get used to it. You really have to learn all of the finger motions or it's just going to waste. The screen is beautiful. I know some people complain about the glare. I don't see this as a problem for myself because I am generally indoors when I am using it. Right now I am sitting by a window and I can see a bit of a reflection but it's on the black part surrounding the screen. The screen does get fingerprints on it. I never see them when the laptop is on, only when it's sleeping or off. I just clean it every few days with the Apple cloth they give you. I like the little details like the battery indicator on the side. The iPhoto is great. I am completely organized with my photos now. I do wish that iOffice had came with it. I will have to order it separately for school. I am glad my husband went with the upgraded model with the extra RAM and memory. I believe I will be using this laptop for a long time. No regrets on switching to a Mac!

Summary: Review: satisfied
Comment: As a first time Apple Mac user, I have come to like the Macbook very well. A few minor flaws apart (which all laptops have), the Macbook is a solid purchase. I see many sore complaints in other user reviews, but if a lack of Firewire port or a display with whites/blacks not being as good is a problem for you, then this one's not for you. However, if you do not need a Firewire (I don't, my WD external HDD works on USB 2) and you get to decide the lighting conditions for use, then there aren't many other flaws. Don't let some biased 2 star ratings turn you away from the Mac - those ratings are by people who hate the new Macs just because of a lack of Firewire port or so.
Upgrading RAM/HDD is childishly easy - I did not even have to watch those online videos to learn how. The only precaution you should take (as I did) is to take care of static before touching the Macbook.
If you require ocassional Windows applications, get VMWare Fusion or Parallels - I'm personally on VMware and it works flawlessly with Windows XP. 2GB is not enough memory for Mac and Vista to work together, so if you plan to use Vista with VMWare/Parallels, buy more memory (Crucial is a worthy choice).
Pros:
Unibody design, Mac OS X, multi touch trackpad
Cons:
Display glare (solved by not having a light directed AT you and your screen), minor Mac OS X problems common to any switcher, bottom gets hot after a few minutes of usage (because of the aluminium body)
If you need the stability and 'just works' attitude of a Mac, this is the perfect purchase for you. Minor inconveniences can be expected with any laptop, but much more with Mac competitors (I'm sure I can point out much more flaws with a similarly priced Sony/Dell/Lenovo).
