A fantastic little computer with so much power, elegance and style for research and graduate student life

It's now eight days since I got my new MacBook "white" after more than 4 months reading and searching to get convinced enough to do that move, and pew I did it :)

Let's start with the hardware specifications, it has 13.3 inch widescreen with (LED backlight technology) this extra-awesome hyper saturated colors. (I read a few articles about LED backlighting and it differs from the old CCFL screens, you can read more about that here http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/06/macbook-pro-backlight-comparison-led-vs-ccfl/ ). And it has an Intel 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo processor with 4 megabytes L3 cache, 160GB 5400RPM SATA (low-noise) disk, 2.27kg weight, 5 hours-long battery and Airport Wireless card that supports 802.11n technology with awesome reception accuracy and iSight camera.

The most astonishing thing for now is the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard 64bit, AWESOME operating system, and I can really understand now why apple always said that it's the most advanced operating system in the world, they are right, it's. :) it's a very well designed for a great user experience and you'll see many snapshots in the next few posts and well. it has more than 300 new features over the previous version "Tiger 10.4 and the main thing you'll notice about mac is that it's a REAL FAST.

The great news is that most of the well known and famous applications I needed are available for mac, like microsoft office and it's open source clone open office, adobe creative suite 3, yahoo messenger, MSN messenger and iChat works as an awesome jabber chat client.

The first thing I'm so happy about is that I chose The white model. That's because the surface is very finger-print catching and can be easily scratched, but happily the white color hides most of it.

Also, it's really fast.

I use it mostly for music, internet, pictures, movies, homework pretty much what everybody uses a computer for. Also, I use it for my research, extensive statistics work and various medical work, and it works great

iLife is awesome and so is leopard (find out at apple.com)

like when you turn on your pc it has load and load and load then when the desktop finally pops up then if you click on something it takes like 1/2 an hour to open up

on this laptop it loads and and when the desktop shows you click something and it actually opens like its supposed to

I have been using pcs all my life and i just got fed up with them.

It is very nice computer to use especially during presentations (Apple Keynote is Awesome, especially, its presenter mode).

Spotlight is very effective tool for searching for papers. Also, there are limitless possibilities and solutions for scientific purposes.

Finally,

Advantages:

1- Very Fast.
2- Reliable computer.
3- Can run windows and mac osx applications (I use VMWare as a virtual machine).
4- Lots of tools for your research (example ofr nice software for research: Sente, Papers, Endnote, Yep, ...etc).
5- Stylish.
6- Perfect Screen.
7- Good Battery Life.
8- Durable (I dropped it twice).
9- Nice for chatting and communication (It's isight integration is flawless).
10- Perfect software and hardware integration.

Disadvantages:

1- Needs more RAM (At least 2 GB Ram).
2- Speakers are not so strong.

Finally,

It is a perfect laptop for a graduate student for the price.

Mac Laptop

I purchased an Apple laptop out of frustration with the windows-based laptops I have had in the past. Unfortunately, I still have to run windows-based programs on the Mac. So far, it works as advertised with notably easier addition of periphreals such as printers, etc. It's a little frustrating trying to do all the things I did in Windows, and the lack of a backspace key is odd. On the more positive side, it's not stopped on me once while I have been working, even on the internet!! I'm looking forward to years of, if not trouble-free, less troublesome use with this machine.

Great Little Computer

Works like a charm and handles everything I have thrown at it. This was a replacement for an old G3 iBook which served me well for years. The new model is thinner, brighter and a bit more refined as well as being (obviously) faster. I really like the keyboard; for some reason I make fewer typing mistakes compared with my home keyboard. My wife will be getting one soon as well.

My First Mac

I love this computer! All I've heard about Macs is true, it works so well! I am very pleased with the good price on Amazon and how quickly it shipped.

Finally made the change to mac, WOW, awesome, no more pc

I have been using a pc for MANY years... in fact, my pc knowledge has definitely helped me advance in my banking career (technology and banking). I used to build pc's, troubleshoot, fix, etc...Let me tell you from beginning to end to get a pc the way I want it from a fresh install is about 3.5 hours. Macbook fresh install done much quicker and programs install much faster. Plus, mac gives you restore disks, not bullcrap partition on your hard drive. Also, you dont see the junk that you do on new pc's.

Enter the macbook. Mine> 2.4 ghz core2 duo, 4gb ram, 13.3 white. I love this damn thing.

Story: my brother gets accepted to Cal and has no money for a laptop. I give him my hpdv6701 (great pc but w/ vista, eghhh). so im in need for a new laptop. I hear about macbooks so I go to best buy and check them out. I was hesitant at first but its because of my lack of knowledge about macs...I was trying to compare based on specs but not power/performance. I thought they were expensive (they are) but rightly so. A comparable pc would be the same price, if not more expensive!! DONT COMPARE 500-600 DOLLAR PC'S TO THIS MACBOOK BASED ON SPECS....THE PROCESSOR IN THIS MACBOOK IS STELLAR!!!

I made the decision to buy and WOW, i am totally impressed. Somethings were different in making the transfer..but lets go over some things for those not to savvy with computers. Now, keep in mind, i had no troubles with my pc's, but im not the average joe, so here goes:

pros
* for those who dont know how to protect themselves, MACS do not get viruses!!! the old macs had about 60-80 viruses, but the new systems have no documented viruses. Windows? thousands of viruses.
*installing applications is drag and drop. EASY
*looks are beyond comparison
*battery life is excellent
*no need to consistently restart computer
*powerful processor
*weighs less than 5 lbs (13.3 macbook)
*powerful (add the 4gb and you fly). BTW, dont upgrade ram through apple, wayyyyy to expensive. Check out new egg dot com
*graphics are amazing
*i never had to pay for any software but there are some free programs that are fantastic - neo office for those who need productivity comparable to ms office.
* it just works, no setting up thousands of options

cons
*apple uses mini dvi port for projectors and or external monitors on the macbook (pro uses regular dvi). mini dvi gets loose and just not that good of a connector. wish it was dvi or vga.
*if using it for awhile, macbook can get a bit warm. newest versions are not like older ones that had heating problems...if you get an ilap you will be good.
*you will not want to get off your macbook

conclusion:
buy it, its totally worth it.

amin---out.
