    Review By Cnet

    Measuring about 275mm thick, 325mm wide, and 227mm deep, the MacBook is small enough to carry around every day and just big enough to comfortably function as your everyday computer. It weighs in at 2.36 kilograms, and while the difference is only 18 grams, it feels considerably lighter than the 15-inch MacBook Pro.

    The most advanced and affordable Mac notebook ever gives you a blazingly fast mobile architecture in a beautiful design that costs less than slower, clunkier models. It’s like getting a sports car for the price of a scooter. Talk about performance, MacBook’s powered with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with speeds revving up to 2.0 GHz.

    The MacBook’s signature white chassis is as much a part of a Mac laptop as the Apple logo. If you want to go with something other than white, well, you might as well get a PC. The glossy finish is sleek and doesn’t attract as many fingerprints or smudges as would something in black; the system is easily one of the best-looking laptops in the industry. The MacBook 13-inch’s 5-pound frame and 1-inch thickness means it’s also one of the most easily luggable.

    Review By Macworld

    Compared to the MacBook Pro models, the main differences are screen size, expandability (the MacBook Pros have an ExpressCard/34 slot, but the MacBooks have no card slots), FireWire 800 (now in all Pro models, but still missing from the MacBooks), and of course performance: the difference in CPU speeds is not large, but the Pro models’ separate ATI Radeon X1600 graphics chip is considerably faster than the MacBooks’ integrated graphics processing. That last point is worth considering not only for publishing and video professionals, but also for anyone looking for a good gaming machine.
