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.

Apple MacBook White Review

After reading some reviews on the MacBook I decided that i would do a review since i am a new user.

I am a Windows Vista user using an HP DV5000 Laptop and decided on April 2008 to purchase my very first MacBook. I was looking for a smaller laptop that would be easy to take to work and decided that the MacBook was the best choice. I decided on the white macbook with the intel 2.4 GHZ core 2 duo and 2 GB of memory.

After bringing it home and running it for the first time setting up OS and the internet i was very pleased by how easy it was to set it up. Now being new to Macs i am very happy how easy it is to use this computer and have been pleased with it so far. I am still trying to get used to the keyboard and I even went so far to buy the Apple Extreme router w/o hard drive.

My poor HP laptop has now been regulated to being a game machine since i now use the macbook for everything else. i have found that the build is very good quality and have not noticed any heat problems. I average about 4 hours of battery life which is way better than my PC with only lasts for 1.5 hours.

I used and still use a Power Mac, a G4, a G5, a G4 Pro Book, Mac Pro and now a Mac Book, and I am amazed at what this little Mac can do. It is perfect travel machine, it has the ability to do everything I need while being portable.

Thanks.. Could be buying this one if I sell my Pro.... Something a little lighter as I only really use it for browsing and editing my Digital SLR photo's.
