Conclusion

I've owned and used many Apple computers, both PowerPC and Intel-based. I am a terribly finicky user and it takes a lot to impress me. It is even harder to get me to dote over a product like a proud parent, but I can say without a doubt that the MacBook is absolutely my favorite laptop ever.  

The MacBook is ideal in so many ways. It is light, slim, fast and capable of so much computing power that I find myself NOT wondering when I should trade up. The physical design is impressive and ergonomically wonderful. The screen is beautiful and delivers sharp, vibrant and life-like images. The keyboard is a pleasure to use. The internal architecture, except for GPU, is nearly identical to the MacBook Pro, which means that it is as fast a computer as the much more expensive Pro variant.

The Intel-based MacBook surpassed every expectation that I had. I am duly impressed! 
 
Pros:
  • Very inexpensive
  • Light weight
  • Near silent
  • Exceptional battery life
  • Super-bright screen
  • iSight camera built-in 
Cons:
 
·     Built-in speakers could be a little louder
