Pros: Size, Ease of Use, Battery Life, Apple's OS X

Cons: Not a large enough standard hard drive, dim screen, might need more RAM.

The Bottom Line: An absolutely great machine. A great first Apple computer for anyone looking to switch from Windows based PCs.

Review: I've been a Windows PC user my entire life (at 24 admittedly not that long, but long enough to remember my first computer with a 386 Intel processor and MS DOS). We had plenty of Macs around in both high school and college but I always found them to be ...

Pros: Visually beautiful, exquisitely endurable, light-weight, dependable, superb interface and graphics display - GORGEOUS!

Cons: No handle. But then again, it's light enough to carry in one hand!

Pros: Small, light, stable, super-easy to use, lots of features for the money

Cons: Less software available than for PC and what there is tends to be more expensive...

The Bottom Line: Now I get it... I should have got one of these things YEARS ago.

Review: Yes, it’s true, I am now a Software Development Analyst working in a Windows environment, writing spec for IE-based applications. I know, I know, but let’s be honest here: it’s where the money is. :-) Too bad it’s not where the quality is… I’ve been ...

Pros: light,fast,design,desktop and everything else

Cons: aim quits, itunes (but that is probably my fault)

The Bottom Line: I love my MAC and I will continue to buy MACs forever!!

Pros: Beautiful design, iLife, no blue screens of death, easy to setup and maintain

Cons: Not for gamers, more HDD space needed, software incompatibilities

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for those who need simple and fuss-free computing on-the-go, e.g. students. Not recommended for gamers.

Review: I never thought I'd ever get a Mac. I always thought Macs were expensive and mostly for professionals. Plus, I never thought I'd want to learn to use a new OS. Things changed when my university's computer store started offering iBooks and PowerBooks ...

Pros: easy to learn, easy to use, stable, uptime, no viruses, quality and great service.

Cons: ebay is slow with safari, otherwise can't think of any of significance.

The Bottom Line: wonderful in every aspect, the only way to go.

Cons: should have super drive available, glossy screen

The Bottom Line: I would recommend everybody the combination Apple laptops - Apple.com refurb store: best deal EVER!

Review: wow! What a great product. Bought a refurb from the apple.com store and what a great deal it was! Got it with a 33% discount of the original price, which gave me the chance to upgrade the harddrive and the RAM and still stay under $900! I've been ...
