I've finally made the move from a PC to a Mac and so far I'm very pleased. Okay, I haven't gone over completely as I've purchased VMWare Fusion so I can run some of my expensive Windows programs that I don't have Mac equivalents for yet (e.g., Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc). I absolutely love the multi-touch trackpad. I've never been a big fan of trackpads in the past, but this works so beautifully and accelerates my work instead of hindering it. I love the form factor of the MacBook (it's so thin and light!) and I can't believe how cool it stays even when sitting on my lap when it has no visible vents (it appears to vent through the hinge). My PC laptops always got VERY hot and you had to be very careful not to block the vents. No such problems here! I appreciate the long battery life...granted it's supposedly less than the previous version, but it leaves my PC laptops in the dust. I also enjoy not having to listen to the fan cycling on and off like I do on my PC laptops. I'm still getting used to all the new programs and capabilities, but after about three weeks with my new Mac I have absolutely no regrets about switching and I'm not looking back!

First mac. Its ok, kinda slow for graphics and photo. Excellent just to have around for basic web and word stuff. CS4 if faster on my windows machine. I would not suggest it to busness people because your most likely going to have to buy a windows licence anyway. An OS that has to run another OS to get work done in 2009 is a failure.

Great aluminum uni-body. Easy access to Had Drive and Battery.
OSX 10.6 works great. There is a bunch of free software available from developer tools to utilities that works well with OSX.
Great back-lit keyboard.
Screen brightness adjusts to lighting conditions.

Comments about Apple 13" MacBook Notebook Computer:
Needed a notebook powerful enough to run CS4 and that can handle the 1,000 of photos that I have at any given moment. This notebook works great while traveling or sitting at cafe using wifi. I use an external drive to keep it and the iMac synched.

Comments about Apple 13" MacBook Notebook Computer:
Don't know why I waited so long to go MAC. This is a great unit and a perfect travelling companion. I slip this in a BOOQ sleeve and then into my backpack. No more hauling around an 8 lb. laptop in a 4lb. case.
Performance is great. This MAC boots up faster than any Windows desktop or laptop I've ever used.
The fit and finish of the aluminum case is superb.
The Airport wireless card is quick to identify and establish connection to any wireless network.
Overall a great laptop. My next move an IMAC.

Comments about Apple 13" MacBook Notebook Computer:
I use my MacBook for everything from web surfing to working on my webpages and video editing. I love the glossy screen and the backlit keyboard. The black keys are so much more suited for the backlight than my old silver colored keys on my MacBook Pro. This machine is just as fast as my old 17" 2.6GHz MacBook Pro from last year.

Comments about Apple 13" MacBook Notebook Computer:
I found the perfect complement to my photo package and activity, on the field like back home on photoshop.
I love how compact it is, love the new keyboard and overall esthetics that give the feel-for extra plus.
I don't mind the no alternative glossy screen, after all...
it make a lot of sense that Apple made those choices to offer such incredible
package for the buck!
I will miss the FireWire dough, when trying to download my family footage.

Comments about Apple 13" MacBook Notebook Computer:
Slick, awesome design. Laptop looks unbroken and all outlets moved to left side when right side has dvd-rom. Nice leds to show battery status. Even after prolonged work it feels warm as not hot as previous models. Good display but you can clearly see fingerprints on it and keyboard and it's really hard to remove them. You feel like to spoiled brand-new product in few minutes. Great bright enough screen and really useful big touchpad with two buttons now! I really glad that I have it. Excellent as a gift to whom to you really care about.
