Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M)
New aluminum construction looks good, feels solid ; giant touch pad ; attractive edge-to-edge glass on display ; improved integrated graphics ; backlit keyboard on some models ; thinner than previous version
Still no ExpressCard or SD-card slot ; loses FireWire port ; all-clicking touch pad is a bit awkward, at least initially ; 1,299 now gets you a slower CPU than it did before ; no matte-screen option
Apple's redesigned 13-inch MacBook is essentially a shrunken version of the more expensive 15-inch Pro line. With its new aluminum body, new trackpad, and Nvidia graphics, it's an even more attractive choice for mainstream laptop buyers than was the ...

Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M) review
Apple's MacBook ditches its plastic shell and Intel chipset for a solid aluminum chassis with an Nvidia chipset, and serves up a multitouch glass trackpad, LED-backlit display, and mini DisplayPort.
The $1,299 MacBook features a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, down from the 2.4GHz chip in the previous model. The new $1,599 MacBook features a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo chip like the older $1,499 model. The biggest change is the move from the Intel GM965 chipset and...

First Look: Apple Macbook
Instead of assembling a notebook from many minor parts, the new MacBook was reinvented from just one solid-aluminum unibody enclosure. It the main reason why the MacBook is thinner and lighter. The new aluminum-clad MacBook also is news for IT staff ...

Apple's 13-inch MacBook graced the PCW Test Centre with its presence this month. In fact, Apple has launched two new MacBook models, one costing $2,399 and the other, which we're reviewing here, costing $2,899 and sporting a slightly ramped up feature ...
Not only does the unibody construction look good, but Apple tell us it creates a more durable (less parts to break) and environmentally friendly (because it's recyclable) notebook. We can only trust Apple's remarks on the environmentally sound nature ...

Apple MacBook 2GHz with nVidia GeForce 9400M...
With its recent internal updates, the £719 white Apple MacBook 2GHz is a better all around system than the white MacBook it replaces.
As far as system updates go, the changes to new white Apple MacBook are welcome, if subtle. The new faster graphics will make casual gamers happy, and who doesn’t like additional RAM? Although the slightly slower processor didn’t help performance ...

Review: Apple Macbook 2.4GHz notebook computer
The new Macbook combines style with substance
Classy design ; Great touchpad ; Simple software
Very limited ports ; Slightly expensive ; Shallow keyboard
For many people the plastic 719 model will be a better bet, but this is still a classy, if flawed, alternative to a powerful Windows notebook
When Apple was planning its latest press conference many expected it to launch a new, low-cost notebook computer to compete with mini-notebooks such as the Asus Eee. The Macbook comes, unsurprisingly, with Apple's own Mac OSX operating system...

Apple MacBook 13in - Aluminium 2008 Edition Review - Notebook Reviews
Beautiful. Expensive. Brilliant. Flawed. Apple's new MacBook is all these things, but what does Andy think of it?
When the old MacBook launched it was a pretty good machine - or, at least, a "pretty" machine - but it has long been overtaken by a mass of Windows based machines that were lighter, more powerful, more affordable and better built. We've taken a...

Summarizing the above, the new MacBook is a very interesting alternative to the 15" MacBook Pro. Due to the smaller size it is clearly more mobile, reasonabler, and except of the optional graphics performance of the 9600M GT (switchable in the Pro) ...
