You are browsing within the review sections of our forums. Content within these sections reflect consumer opinions of laptops. Our admins take the best and most objective laptop reviews and index them here to create a distinct selection of quality reviews with averaged overall ratings. Many of these reviews have benchmarks attached to them which allows for users to compare their laptop's performance with others, and ultimately enables us to provide a sortable list which at a glance show the fastest laptops amongst a variety of applications (gaming, video editing, web browsing, etc...). Help us build a better laptop database by submitting your laptop review.

I just got back from Apple, didn't purchase anything, and did some looking. I played with the MacBook Pro 2.33ghz and the Macbook (black). The MacBook Pro didn't really impress me that much. So I looked at the Macbook and liked the keyboard. Couple of question to you Macbook owners.

How is the performance with Photoshop CS 2? Just photo editing no video.
How does it perform with WOW with the new 2.0 patch that includes the OpenGL multi-thread?
How hot does it get?
How does it perform with Parallels?

I know that I would get better performance from a Macbook pro but thats a lot of money. I'm replacing my Thinkpad T43 Centinro 2ghz, 1gig RAM, 100gig HDD, ATI x300 Video card 64mb.
