          Comments about Apple 13" MacBook Notebook Computer (White):

          This MacBook replaces a three-year-old Macbook (also 13") that sustained some water damage and killed the logic board. It's a slight upgrade with a superdrive and faster processor. Also ships with Snow Leopard.

          I had the option of getting a 2010 MacBook which has faster bus speed but lacks a firewire 400 port. Don't understand Apple's logic behind that choice.

          Considering what I was replacing, this laptop suits me perfectly.

            Purchase for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift. I was going to get her a PC - but then I started thinking about all the problems she could have with viruses and spyware. So I decided to spent a little extra for Mac and I definitely believe I made the right choice. Macs are so much more user friendly and she really loves how everything "just works".

              Comments about Apple 13" MacBook Notebook Computer (White):

              I had to replace a damaged '05 iBook, and I'm loving this machine. It's one version old,[...] use the MacBook mostly for internet, word processing, photo and music archiving, but the updates to iMovie are proving to be a useful and fun addition to my repertoire.B&H bundled this MacBook with a CD for Parallels, which allows seamless UI between the Windows and the Mac OS, but I haven't really had opportunity to use it. Then again, I'm not conducting business on this machine, or interfacing with Windows users on a regular basis.I'd recommend the MacBook, this version or the new one, to anyone looking to continue with Mac laptops or switching from the competition.

                I love it so far. I just switched over from PC because I found a good deal and figured I'd try it out. Very sleek and fast. I got the cheapest version but it's way better my old acer. Iphotos seems nice. Still trying to figure out the only one mouse button deal. Not sure what to do when I normally right click. Otherwise, seems great.

Easy to personalize and not loaded with stuff you have to delete before you start using it. I had a mac before and I am glad I went back! B&H gave me the best price around!
