Worth every penny but there is room for improvement.
I use both Macs and PCs and have done for about 5 years. the reason being that a lot of my programmes only run on a Windows system but I like to edit my photographs on a Mac. However, I do prefer the ease of use of the MacBook and it doesn't have the freeze or blue screen problems of the Window systems. NOW however, I no longer need to use two computers as this MacBook has an Intel chip and Boot Camp so I can partition the hard drive and use both Windows and Mac software alongside each other. ...

Good, but with BIG caveats
I really like the Macbook, but it comes with some caveats. First, black is best, but it comes at an exorbitant cost. Also it's not the sturdiest of builds. The matt black has been known to peel off (see apple websites discussion boards). Also a real problem I've found is that the keyboard edges crack; This isn't a rare problem, many people have complained, there's even a Flickr group dedicated to it. Also the other two people I know with macbooks have had these chips. The good thing is, book a m...

fantastic
The other reviewer is talking more generally regarding problems that have been had. There are lots of other perfectly happy MacBook users that don't post on the internet as they haven't had issues. This is my second macbook after the last one was destroyed in a flood. This model is fast, has plenty of storage and at last Apple are installing a decent amount of RAM. It's a great size for a laptop and I do bits of Photoshop, Word, Excel and InDesign on this. Ver...

Brilliant.
This is a high quality laptop, with a great operating system.Any students looking to buy a mac should definitely buy through Apple's own website or one of their official stores, as you can get a pretty good discount (works out at over ?50 for the black MacBook).

Fabulous
I have used Windows PCs since MS-DOS. I wanted a laptop but I didn't want Windows Vista, so I looked at Apple MacBooks. The high price niggled me. Laptops with comparable specs are cheaper than MacBooks. But I took the plunge and got a MacBook black. And I'm delighted with it. The build quality is exceptional. The screen in particular is stunning, crystal clear, easy on the eyes, beautiful colours. Loads of software come with the Mac.I'm very impressed with the features it has. It's ...

Amazing
This is a good solid notebook. I bought it to take to classes with me, and it works. It is small enough, yet powerful enough to fit all of my needs. It looks beautiful and so does leopard (its operating system). I highly recommend this notebook.

Excellent
Apple MacBook Black 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/2GB/250/SD/AP/BTOf course there will always be arguments about the various merits of different operating systems furthering the windows v MAC environment merits, but here I will give my thoughts.After years of working in the Windows environment, in 2006 I decided to buy an iMAC. After the birth of my first grand daughter, obviously I took hundreds of digital photos. With the introduction of Aperture v1, I managed to find a system of keeping my p...
