Dream Machine My first notebook, but not my first Mac. I couldn't be happier. Wasn't sure if giving up my G5 for this MacBook would pay off given the smaller screen. However, this high definition glossy screen is even better than the G5, and the 17" screen on my G5 wasn't big enough to fully show 2 programs side by side anyway.
Mine is also whisper quiet, fast, and the keyboard is a dream. Heat not worth complaining about. I agree, better to have whisper quiet than loud fans.
My ...

My First Mac and I love it! My first Mac! I purchased this computer (over the mac mini) on Amazon the day after it was released. I always wanted a Mac and I always wanted a laptop. The Macbook was the best solution for me and is a great second computer. I'm extremely pleased. The 13.3 inch screen is bright, glossy, and crystal clear. I love it! I purchased apple's "mini DVI" to DVI adapter, the apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard and use this laptop (with the clam shell closed) with my Viewsonic VA1912wb 19 inch monitor w...

FROM A WINDOWS USER. GRADE A FOR MAC OS, A for cpu, B+ FOR HARDWARE My first Mac. Switching is like learning to drive a right hand drive car. A little frustrating at times but the MAC OSX is Very well designed and intuitive and user friendly. The upcoming Windows Vista looks a lot like a MAC OS.
If you're new, your local store can offer help if you have questions. I also signed up for Pro Care. $99/year . Also bought .Mac for $99 (or family pack for $179).
When you buy it, it is so nice to carry that box in your hands.

Very Satisfied So far, I am very pleased with my purchase. It is quite the upgrade from my 6 year old imac! Everything seems to be functioning great and I love the look and feel of it all. The magnetic power plug is very smart and Photobooth is a lot of fun to play with. I was disappointed when it didn't have a firewire cable included and I had a heck of a time transferring files from my imac...P.S. if you can't open your old computer's harddrive that comes up through firewire onto your macbook's desktop, ...

Oh yeah...this is a keeper!! First...don't be fooled by the few vocal posters complaining about lemons. Any new electonic device has the potential to be DOA, but these are rare, and if you are unlucky enough to get one, AppleCare will take care of the problem with its best-in-industry service...not to mention Amazon's great return policies.
Now, on to the review....
This machine is great. Here's what's best about it:
1) The OS and free bundled software are awesome!! This doesn't get much...

average user review I'm not a computer expert, so this review is for average users like myself.
This is my first time using Apple, but it was easy to get up and on the Internet. I found out that the delete key will let you page backwards. If you click the apple on the toolbar you can tweak some settings under "systems preferences". I changed the trackpad settings under "keyboard and mouse" to add dragging and took off "ignore accidental trackpad input". I had to change them back because my cursor would...

Excellent Value for the Power and Features To get the negatives out of the way: The Macbook gets hot. This is rather unfortunate as it fits great while resting on your knee or in your lap. If someone is looking for a true 'laptop' I would recommend something on the PC side with the Pentium M processor as they are just warm to the touch. Another issue is with the potential whine from the processor 'idleing'. There are work arounds however that strangely fix the issue. Hopefully this will be a firmware fix in the future. Also the Ma...

Excellent computer I had read quite a bit about the new Intel MacBooks, but was really blown away by the reality of the one we brought as a graduation present for our daughter. It is beautiful for the eyes, and to the touch, and even its size and heft are perfect. It set up in minutes, connected to our home wirless network and flawlessly downloaded updates to the operating system and to MicroSoft Office, which I bought separately. The glossly screen does not provide the glare I feared it might. Instead it makes th...

best laptop on the market today I bought one of the first white macbooks available in June, and was so pleased my family ended up purchasing 2 more. There are a number of advantages of Macbook over competitive notebooks, but my personal favorites are : glossy screen (nothing like it), MacOS Tiger- clearly better than windows, and the Magsafe power cord.
There were a few technical issues with the first Macbooks, although my family has 3, we never had any issues. But never fear, Apple stands behind their products....
