Apple Macbook Review

Where to begin, where to begin? How about...this thing is amazing! Before I get into the details I should let you know what I'm talking about first. I am talking about my brand new Apple macbook. I'll tell you Apple has truly impressed me with this beautiful piece of machinery. After taking an intensive look into a computer for university, the black macbook (with its more than satisfying tech specs), seemed to be the best choice among the other mac computers. I will admit that I was initially nervous going the mac route but after visiting several universities that were flooded with students and their apple computers I was quick to jump on the mac bandwagon. Being a pc/windows user for all my life, I must tell you that the best way to describe the OS X (the mac operating system) transition is to compare it to taking a breath of fresh air. Whether it be the ease of use, the beautiful GUI, or the unmatched security, the mac operating system is by far the most advanced operating system I have ever used. One of the best features however would have to be the included iLife bundle which includes several useful programs. The iLife bundle makes buying a mac computer an even greater value! Now it does take some time to adjust if you're new to OS X but once you learn the ropes and all the amazing features you grow to appreciate it much more.

Now unlike many things in life, this computer not only has the brains but killer looks too. The best part is that there are thousands of sleeves, cases, and bags to keep your laptop looking stylish. Now the best way to describe the macbook's great looks is to say that it is so sleek that it can turn a mac-hater into a mac-lover. The black macbook was not only appealing in terms of specifications but it was surely the better looking in my opinion between the black and white options. It is also very light and the perfect size for anyone looking to be on the go with their computer. With the 13.3" glossy display everything looks very clear and sharp. The screens anti-glare protection resists reflections but still keeps all the beauty of glossy displays. To keep your screen looking great there are many screen protectors available to help protect your monitor. The keyboard is not only intriguing to look at but its also a pleasure to type on. Many seem intimidated at first by the flat square keys just as I was but within a few days I found myself typing more efficiently with than ever before and also quickly alienated to the typical keyboard feel. Another great feature about this computer is the extra large trackpad which makes it great as a mouse alternative. Along with this, the double click technology and unique scrolling feature make this trackpad much more useful than any other I've ever used. To double click it is as easy as tapping 2 fingers on the trackpad and for scrolling its as easy as dragging 2 fingers along the trackpad. Another great feature of the macbook is the included built in isight camera and mic for easy online chatting.There is also the included apple remote which activates and controls front row. Front row is an integrated program with a unique interface that organizes all your computers media while even giving you access to movie trailers via the internet. With all of the great features included with the laptop it was a no-brainer for me to go out and finally make the switch to a mac!

Yep, its the same way with mine...The screen will shake because of the way the hinge is designed. No big deal though, never bothers me.
