Excellent Apple (and Windows) performance now at a reasonable price

by josheya , Jul 29, 2006
Pros: Great performance, battery life, top-notch hardware, good value - lots of features for your money

by lawman67 , Jul 1, 2006
Pros: Incredible speed, drop-dead gorgeous, best-ever Mac keyboard, glossy screen, reasonable price
Cons: Integrated "Vampire" video, $150 "black tax", glossy screen
The Bottom Line: Except for the integrated video this is the perfect laptop. Even with it, its still perhaps the best laptop on the market today.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Last month I reviewed the then-new Apple MacBook in its variouis flavors and came largely impressed. As an iBook replacement these represent the very best consumer portables Apple (or anyone else) has ever released, but as a 12" PowerBook...
