Was a PC user....will never switch back to PC now (specially since Parallels desktop exists!)
Rating: - good college laptop
This is a good choice for a college student who likes the Mac OS X desktop. It is reasonably easy to set up and use. I downloaded and installed the Mac port of OpenOffice, Sun's open source alternative to Microsoft Office, with word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, and database tools. It installs on top of X11 which came pre-installed on the Mac. Overall responsiveness is good. Wireless sensitivity is not superb, but ok. The built-in camera and mic are a nice feature. One complaint is that the microphone does not have built-in echo cancellation. When will this obvious feature nearly everyone would find useful start to be standard equipment on laptops?
Rating: - Dead Macbook
I purchase a macbook less than 2 years ago (end of 2006) and I have loved it since until yesterday 29 Aug 08 when it died on me. First it frozed, then I shut if off manually and now it never turns on. THe only thing I did different was that I bought a case for it yesterday to protect it from dirt and I guess it didn't like the case because now it has a gray screen with a folder with a ? mark flashing. After searching on the internet I know that my HD has gone bad and the only way to fix it is by installing a new one. I am in shock. Can't believe it. It didn't give me any warning. Now I don't know if I should replace it or never buy a mac again.
Rating: - Careful: EndNote - Windows 08 not compatible
The computer works well, (besides the cute looks), it was a bit of a headache to work out the problem. Pages (iWorks) does not work well with reference manager software and Office 08' for Mac was not compatible with EndNote either. There is currently an upgrade from Office available to make the latest version of EnNote compatible, but you have to have both. The rest, no problem at all.
