Apple MacBook Spring 2010 (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz review:

Incredibly popular on college campuses and in coffee shops, Apple's MacBook laptops are arguably one of the most flexible and useful laptop lines ever designed, thanks to the company's overarching hardware and software ecosystem--and anchored by our...

Faster processor; improved graphics; better battery life.

Still no SD card slot; might be time for Apple to switch to 16:9 aspect ratio displays.

Apple slightly revamps its basic MacBook with improvements under the hood, but keeps the design and price the same, which makes the new MacBook tough to beat as a back-to-school laptop.

Apple MacBook 13-inch

Most affordable Intel-Mac notebook. Lightweight. One-inch-thick chassis. Has most of the MacBook Pro features

No ExpressCard or PC Card slot. Runs warm like the MacBook Pros

The more affordable Mac-Intel notebook you've been waiting for is here. The MacBook 13-inch sports many of the features and power of its bigger siblings for a lot less money.

Review: MacBook/2.4GHz (Mid 2010)

With its faster processor, improved graphics and longer battery life, the MacBook makes an attractive option for budget conscious laptop shoppers. Performance-wise, the MacBook isn't different from the 13-inch 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro.

The new MacBook’s appearance is identical to the mid-2009 model it replaces, using the same 13-inch glossy screen and white plastic unibody design. Also unchanged are the ports, with a Mini DisplayPort, two USB 2.0 ports, and a Gigabit Ethernet...

Windows Phone Update: May 2010

It's been two months since MIX'10 and Microsoft's last major public Windows Phone 7 update. So here are some answers to common questions that have come up since then.

One other confusion I've seen expressed online regards the Windows Phone 7 "hubs", or panaromic experiences. Many developers have claimed that they cannot create their own hubs, while others have claimed that the built-in hubs in Windows Phone...
