Apple MacBook (June 2009)

By Mike (cnet.com.au) Read the full review

I love my 13" Macbook except every night my "Magic Track Pad" decides to highlight everything and forces me to restart. Other than that would definitely recommend.

Display, Keyboard

Touchpad

Apple MacBook (June 2009)

By TheCamper (cnet.com.au) Read the full review

This was my first Mac and I'm never going back. It never crashes, it runs very past for what you pay. It's very rare for a Mac to get a virus but I have a time machine set up so I can restore everything if I do for free or move all my files if I upgrade.

OS X, not loaded with useless trials, trackpad and polycarbonate unibody

No backlit keyboard, gets hot and scratches easily

It's pretty good, Leopard is exceptionally great and it words well. It's f-cking hot.

Software, design, portability

Doesn't work when wet

Apple MacBook (June 2009)

By Scott Stein (cnet.com.au)

For AU$1599, it's hard to beat this MacBook's nearly Pro-level specs if you're in the market for a budget Apple laptop.

Good price for the specs on a Mac ; Sturdy construction ; No graphics compromise

Older battery doesn't last as long as the new Pros ; Still no SD card slot or ExpressCard ; White MacBook design is getting a little old

Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 13.3-inch, 2.26GHz OS X 10.5.7 Leopard; Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz; 2048MB DDR3 SDRAM 1066MHz; 256MB Nvidia GeForce 9400M; 160GB Hitachi 5400rpm
