MY NEW MACBOOK!!!

I got this gift for christmas and boy what a shock this thing is. I have always been a PC person and never thought I could love a Mac like this...I was wrong

Hardware

This computer is fast, really fast. the processor is a 2.20 gighertz, which is 0.20 faster than my desktop at home. The keyboard is comfortable, not loud and very versatile.

The coolest thing I like to play with is the trackpad. If anyone has seen the new magic mouse from mac then they will understand what this little trackpad can do. clicking and moving around like normal is one finger. and if you click with two fingers, it treats it as a right click. You scroll quikly through pages by draging two fingers and you can also flip through photos by flicking side to side.

Software

Completely set up when shipped this computer came with iLife installed, along with the important things like safari, iCalendar, adressbook...ect. I use all these programs very often and enjoy how nice they work and how fast they start up.

Screen

The screen is bright and very vibrant. THe keyboards top row of buttons have many quick buttons including a brightness control. The screen on my computer is 13 inches, which is small but the resolution size is large so I am able to have spaced out files. The graphics are very good and clear.

Portability

This computer is very light and easy to take from place to place. I take it to and from school every day and it hasn't given me any problems. the battery life, although they say it is about 7 hours, it actually runs for about 5 hours when you are actually working on it. But this is all easily tracked since it can tell you how much time is left for the battery.

Conclusion

This computer is my new very special toy. I use it to watch movies, play a few games, and for schoolwork. It is light and very good for battery power. I am so in love with this new computer and recommend it to anyone, whether they are Mac or PC users, this computer is for you!

I am glad you like the machine. I know many people do. I just use what I got at the 'used' store for $200.

Hi Matthew.
Welcome to the Searchwarp Community.
Do you know what price range they sell for? My desktop is infected with a virus and is now old, so I am looking into getting a Mac. Thanks for this well-written and informative article. Looking forward to reading your articles. Best regards to you and yours,
