MacBook Product Information – Review & Buyer’s Guide

Overview

Entry level Mac Laptop from Apple – an iMac on wheels! The MacBook is an entry level machine aimed at personal use in home, school, or office, but like the iMac it’s still a very decent performer despite it’s low price. It now only comes in white with a 13″ screen as the other versions of the MacBook have been moved up to the MacBook Pro line.

Opinion

At £749 for a Mac laptop it’s hard to go wrong. It only comes in one colour and one screen size but if you need a Mac to travel about with (and you shouldn’t buy a laptop unless you do need to carry it around) then 13″ is a very convenient size. If you’ve got more money to spend then a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air will give you more options in terms of performance and screen size but if you want a cheap, no-frills Mac laptop then this is it.
