Praises

On the other hand, there is a lot about this laptop that deserves praise. First off, the general appearance is just magnificent. The attention to detail is unbelievable, and aesthetics incredible. The switch from Windows to Tiger was really easy, and I firmly believe that Tiger is a superior operating system. The screen and graphics capabilities is definitely a plus and watching DVDs a joy.

Conclusions

Overall, this notebook is thin, light, beautiful and a powerhouse. Given the high price tag, I don't expect everybody to be able to afford this, but if they can, I urge them to get it. It is definitely a magnificent machine that is well worth the money. Anybody worried about the switch to Mac should not worry as it was real easy, and I can't imagine myself turning back.

REVIEW: MACBOOK 13.3" INCH

Want any introduction to this product? It’s the MacBook Air. It represents Apple's concept of a next-gen notebook both in terms of what it has, and what it does not have. It’s also super-thin, and brings new meaning to the sentence "ultra-portable notebook."

Design

Apple’s design goal for the Mac Book Air was to make it the thinnest and still being able to accommodate Apple's must-have features. Achieving that goal meant Apple has to ditch many of the features most people expect on a Notebook, including the optical drive, USB ports, removable battery, expansion ports,etc. The result, an amazingly thin notebook that simply ditches any and all legacy connectors and features.

Performance

The specs on the Mac Book certainly not the greatest. The CPU is revved by a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, though it gels well with 4MB of L2 cache. The MacBook also pumps in 2GB of DDR 667 RAM, an 80GB hard drive @ 4,200rpm, and uses onboard Intel graphics. The 13.3” LED backlit display, uses LED,s to light the display unlike the conventional cold cathode. Mac uses a Draft-N wireless connectivity, which is the successor to 80211.G and provides increased broadcast range and faster transfer speeds.

The Air has a backlit keyboard, which is a new entrant. he MacBook Air carries no expansion ports, To add up the no’s, no optical drive, nor a removable battery. MacBook Air is loaded with the newest version of OS X, rechristened Leopard. Remote Disc technology allows the Air to use the optical drive of another PC or Mac wirelessly.

Overall

A cool notebook, which redefines the world of slim notebooks. With the No’s that assist along the Mac Air, It’s a tough choice. Overall true Mac note, with yet another outrageous innovation.

Pros

+ Amazingly light as defined by APPLE
+ Snappy performance
+ Loads of neat features

Cons

- Non-removable battery (Willing to send back your Mac to MAC -Store, Just to swap Battery?)
- Very few expansion options.
- Remote Disc, Not a great option.


Value For Money

Our Rating

Review: Apple macbook pro

Good Points: Superb screen fast apple build quality (think BWM/Mercedes); runs Leopard, easily the best computer operating system available. Also runs Windows and Linux. Comes with brilliant integrated software that you would have to pay for (if you could get it) on a PC. Out-of-the-box features include i Photo image editor, I Movie digital movie editor, Garage Band digital recording studio, Web Page/Web Gallery creation, simple wireless networking. Every thing's seamlessly integrated in a way no Windows platform can match.

Bad Points: If you don't need the top level facilities, The 699 Mac Book does all the above but with a slightly smaller screen in a more utilitarian case.
