macbook Review Bought in March 2008, this is the newest model with the upgraded intel core 2 duo 2.4Ghz and 2GB RAM standard issue. This by far the best value for the money if you are looking for a new laptop. The fact that it can run Windows also makes it twice the machine and there is every feature necessary for regular users such as USB, webcam, video output, audio output, bluetooth, firewire and DVD burner. The screen is a little small to substitute a desktop so use an external monitor if you are at the desk most of the time. I connect it to my 42″ HDTV and play games in Windows and it is very fast. The only drawback for games is that the 3D rendering must be set to low for best performance. If you never want to buy a laptop againand have the extra cash then upgrade to the macbook Pro. Also my new macbook has fantastic battery life.
