Closed Open, Left-facing Macbook Family

The redesigned Apple MacBook is a laptop computer that has everything you need to do everything you need. With its breakthrough unibody enclosure, industry-first features, and environmentally sound design, Apple MacBook is a revolution in the way notebooks are made.

Unibody Enclosure
To create the recently redesigned MacBook, the design and engineering teams devised a way to replace many parts with just one. That one part is called the unibody—a seamless enclosure carved from a single piece of aluminum.

Redesigned Trackpad
The redesigned trackpad doubles as a button—just press down anywhere and consider it clicked. No separate button means there's 39 percent more room for your fingers to move on the silky glass surface.

LED Backlit Display
The beautifully seamless, remarkably thin design isn't the only gleaming quality of the LED-backlit display. Open your MacBook and you're instantly greeted by glorious full screen brightness. The aluminum enclosure is perfectly integrated with a glass overlay that stretches to the edge of the notebook, providing a completely unobstructed picture.

Burn CDs and DVDs
MacBook comes standard with a SuperDrive. What makes it super? You can burn your own CDs or DVDs to back up data, create your own music mixes, or, using the included iDVD software, burn Hollywood-caliber iMovie creations and watch them on a DVD player.

MagSafe Power Adapter
The MagSafe Power Adapter has just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So tripping over a power cord won't send your shiny new MacBook flying off a table or desk. The cord simply breaks cleanly away, without damage to either the cord or the system.

Innovation
And MacBook offers a slew of innovative features, including a built-in iSight camera for video chatting on the go, fast Wi-Fi so you can work from anywhere, and a glossy 13-inch widescreen display that makes graphics and video come alive.

Pre-installed software
MacBooks come loaded with features that let you do more with less effort. Installed programs include the Safari web browser, Mail, Address Book, iCal, Time Machine, iChat, Boot Camp, iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, Garage Band, iDVD and much more.

No Firewire!
Posted by Eddie O on Dec 24, 2008
Experience w/product: I have used it
Reviewer's Background: Serious Hobbyist
Reviewer's Play Style: rock, blues, Fusion
Mac's are still the best computers available, especially with Leopard. It just works.

But this new MacBook does NOT have Firewire. If you have Firewire accessories, especially AD converters like those from Digidesign and others, this computer will NOT work for you.

Also, USB external drives may not allow the throughput you need for multitrack audio: USB 2.0 spec's out at the same speed as FW400, but USB is word oriented (FW is blocks), and needs computer CPU intervention for each short transfer. FW is a BUSS interface and runs faster on disk type data.

JUST FYI.
