Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo notebook PCs

 

Since its debut in May 2006, the Apple MacBook laptop family has earned a place in the pantheon of Apple's all-time greatest hits. The sturdy, Intel-powered MacBook notebooks have been so popular with consumers, especially students, that they've helped...

With more cache and system memory as well as a larger hard drive, the £699 MacBook is noticeably snappier than its predecessor, and not significantly slower than its higher-priced siblings. Still, if you can afford an additional £130, our...

Apple MacBook Core 2 Duo Review

 

Studying Computer Science at Imperial College London has given me the opportunity to use a wide range of Operating Systems. In the past year, I have both casually played with and professionally worked with Linux, UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X. In my...

Good overall build ; High quality iSight camera ; Excellent sound card ; OS X >> Windows XP (with the exception of gaming) ; A performance increase is always nice

Standard delivery method is on a cart pulled by a mule. (Very slow, for those of you who don’t get it) ; Rosetta ; No PC card slot ; No memory card reader ; Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950

I have never before experienced such a simple to use, efficient, bug free and secure user interface. The most frustrating part during this review was when I had to Boot Camp into Windows and run the few benchmark tests. The driver installations,...

Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 13-inch, black)

 

The new MacBook, updated to Intel's Core 2 Duo CPU, compares very favourably with Apple's high-end MacBook Pro line, offering premium performance at a reasonable price.

Cheaper than the MacBook Pro, with nearly comparable performance ; Great design ; Built-in Webcam and remote control ; Can run Windows XP via Boot Camp

No ExpressCard slot or FireWire 800 ; Lacks media card reader ; Only 90 days of toll-free technical support

Apple MacBook (2.0GHz Core 2 Duo) OS X 10.4.8; Core 2 Duo 2GHz; 1GB DDR2 SDRAM 664MHz; 64MB Intel GMA 950; 120GB Toshiba MK1234GSX 5,400rpm

Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 13-inch, black)

 

Never had so many problems. Off to buy a new pc today and go back to something that really does work. Macs dont live up to their taglines or any of their adverts. "never errors" as if, thats all I get is errors.

It seemed like a good idea at the time

Biggest mistake I could have made which will end up costing me a fortune

I have had the white 2GHz model for 6 months and have been very happy with it. My first notebook after 5 windows desktops. Suits my purposes down to a tee. A real joy to use

Spectacular design, most other notebooks look like relics compared to this! Neat, slick, attractive ; OSX is a joy, so user friendly and stable ; very thin ; nice soft touch keyboard ; user upgradeable HDD and Ram ; beautiful sharp glossy screen ; you...

trackpad button stopped working after 1month, whole top case replaced by apple overnight (next byte shop) ; Gets very hot on your lap

Personally, I love everything about it.

Love the style, size (it fits in my camera bag for uploading to the news), good battery life, simple to operate (it just works!) and can operate XP if necessary

Have not found any yet. Give me time
