"Good value for money"
Pros: Good performance, nearly MacBook Pro specs, not too heavy, real bargain
Cons: No SD card slot, no multi-touch trackpad, weak battery compared to new MacBook Pros, polycarbonate shell picks up smudges and scratches easier than aluminum counter parts
Summary: I've had this notebook for about 3 weeks now, and I am most impressed by it's performance. The 2.13 Intel Core 2 Duo processor is fast and gets the job done. Normal tasks such as web surfing, word processing, email and photos work well. Overall, as a consumer notebook, this MacBook has more than enough power to get the job done.
The included 2GB of RAM is industry standard, but Apple allows u users to upgrade to up to 4 GB of RAM, although this may be unnecessary if you are just using this notebook for everyday tasks.
The battery is advertised for up to "5 hours of wireless productivity", but if you dim the screen brightness and run less applications, you may actually exceed the amount that Apple is promising.
