    Duration of ownership: 5 Days

    Strengths: It's simplicity and reliability

    Weaknesses:It's too white - gray would have been good!

    Overall Evaluation: There's still a lot of things with Mac OS I have to get used to. I installed a full version of Vista Ultimate with bootcamp and now I have the best of both worlds. Windows Vista runs great on this computer and I didn't even have to search for drivers. **note: If you plan on having both OS, I would suggest the black 250GB Macbook** You can also use VMware Fusion so that you can use Windows without rebooting.It comes with a lot of pre-installed software like garage band... fun for musician or dj's.Ever wondered how it would be to switch to a Mac? Do it! It's all worth it!"

    Strengths: Keyboard, Speed, Clarity of screen, Mouse Pad, Overall ease of use

    Weaknesses:Have not discovered any yet

    Overall Evaluation: I am a new convert from a PC; a brand new mother of twins, who works full time, I do not get much time to play on the computer. The transition has been fairly simple. I also went from a desktop to a notebook - that is why I mentioned the keyboard as being a strength...the keys are raised and it's easy to type with. I am very pleased with this notebook.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fast 2.4 GHZ 2 duo processor within the 13.3" potability. Larger hard drive to store more.Ready to work right away with pre-loaded softwares.

    Weaknesses:No Flash cards slot or reader. Only USB and FireWire.

    Overall Evaluation: I am a long time user of Mac. This is my 4th Mac and I am very happy with this new Upgrade Macbook that is faster than My desktop Mac Pro G5. Also, 160GB hard drive is large enough for tasks on the road for me. Built-in wireless and iSight camera are also plus. This Mac come with everything I need and I did not have to modify that I usually do for my desktops. It would be convenient and never missing if a cover cap for the MagSafe Power Adapter is not apart from the adapter. Because the Magnet power is very strong and better to cover for protection when it is not in use.About Windows XP parallel Boot Camp, I tried it but it does not works well along with a big power drained. So I gave up doing it with this Mac.If there are any media flash reader, it would be more convenient.But, Overall I like very much this Mac.

    Strengths: 2.4 GHZ DUAL BOOT WINDOWS AND MAC

    Weaknesses:the arrows on the keyboar

    Overall Evaluation: The boot process to Leopard is very quick. About 18 seconds for me! The Intel Core 2 Duo processor is really fastThe Intel GMA X3100 means little gaming, but 13 inch laptops aren't designed for gaming anyway so not much of a problem,the arrows on the keyboard(SLOW!!!) or use the 2 finger scroll. These annoyances aside, it is a fantastic portable, powerful laptop that looks stunning and will take anything you throw at it, even windows. If you were ever considering making the switch to Apple, now is the time to do it.
