Customer Rating:
Summary: great laptop!
Comment: I bought a MacBook a couple months ago for college and do not regret it! Being a Windows user for so long, I was a little hesitant about buying an Apple, but after hearing about all of Vista's problems, I decided to give the MacBook a try. So far I have been very happy with my decision! It does take some getting used to, but it doesn't take long and it is very easy to use! I also bought Windows Office for Mac so that I could have Word, Excel and Powerpoint because I didn't like iWork. Overall, the MacBook is a great laptop and easy to use!

Summary: Good performer
Comment: Good machine, fast and reliable. Simple choice really, can run MacOS and Mac apps, and since it's Intel-based, should you want, using software like Parallels, can simultaneously run Windows OS and any such desired PC software alongside native Mac products.

Summary: From A Clunker (MS) To A Maserati (Mac)
Comment: I was a Windows user for 15 years. Although interested in a Mac, compatibility issues with my office Windows network made me hesitate. I'm now retired and since my ThinkPad was getting on (and acting up), I decided to go with the MacBook.
I was surprised at the marked superiority of the Mac right out of the box. I decided to wait to write a review until I found some flaws. After all, nothing is perfect. Well, I may find some eventually, but during the month I waited I became even more confirmed in my first impression. By "superior" I mean in all material respects--operating system, hardware and software. I realize some IT types, gamers and others may see some advantages to Windows, but I see none for a user like me (primarily, internet, email, iTunes, word processing and picture management). It was a revelation to find a computer so stable and user friendly. Other adjectives that come to mind: Solid, Fast, Fun, Pretty, Snappy, Sleek, even Graceful. From frustration to the sublime.
I could go on describing the improved design, but let me give just one, seemingly trivial but representative, example. I don't like trackpads, so I use a mouse. In Windows several steps were needed to disable the trackpad and enable the mouse. On a couple of occasions I forgot the mouse and had to enable the trackpad using keystrokes. Frustrating and time consuming. I ordered a wireless mighty mouse with the MacBook and enabled it in 30 seconds. While searching Help to disable the trackpad, I noticed it was already disabled. Then I realized it was automatically disabled when the mouse was added. Then I learned it was automatically enabled when the mouse was turned off or moved away from the computer. Such a simple solution, but apparently lost on the Windows engineers.
Finally--the operating system and compatibility. The Mac OS is different from Windows and takes some getting used to. But not as much as I expected due to the intuitive nature of the Mac, the actually helpful Help menu and the hundreds of very well done tutorials on the Apple web site. As to compatibility, I expected to buy the Office for Mac suite, but after reading the critical reviews on Amazon I downloaded the less expensive iWork suite from Apple on a trial basis. It includes word processing (Pages), spreadsheets (Numbers), and presentations (Keynote). While those programs don't have all the bells and whistles of Word, Excel and Power Point, I had no problem opening and editing in iWork and sending them back to Windows.
In short, my apprehensions about making the switch proved groundless, while being treated to a distinct upgrade in product. Go ahead and do it. You'll be glad you did.

Summary: Best laptop ever purchased
Comment: This is probably the best laptop I ever bought. I had 2 sony vaio's before and used different types of windows laptops from work. By far, this is the best user experience I've had using a laptop, with great aesthetics. The boot up time is incredibly fast, applications(itunes, safari, iphoto, canon software etc) load super fast, compared to windows. Apple makes home computing incredibly easy with Leopard and macbook.
Like some of the other customers, I debated whether to buy a macbook or macbook pro, but in the end I couldn't justify the added cost just for larger display and dedicated graphics card. This works just fine, I use aperture with this and it works really well
