The PolyCarbonate BENDS like Hell though. - Mine Hit a Zip, and it dented like hell.
On the Plus side though, it was the Zip that got more damage than the MacBook. The plastic is soft, Scratches really really easily, but then it's Extremely Durable, No Cracks No Hardware Damage.
@beee000 that might be true but they are actually very different and thanks for publicity for my account .. really loving it :) btw i am autistic ... here are the differences : Regular plastic (CR-39) 1) Thicker 2) Not shatter-proof 3) better optically (higher Abbe value) Polycarb 1) Thinner 2) Shatterproof 3) lower optical quality so you see ... very diff .
u cant but i suggest u to get the macbook pro i was going to get the white unibody macbook but i got my pro and its farther better, but if u get the white macbook get a case for it there awsome i have an orange incase for my mac it protects it and they look awsome
i got this one for christmas, and its like the same thing as a macbook pro, i compared mine to my friends pro and honestly this is just white and thats silver.
yeah, if you want i know ppl are gonna say the pros like $200.00 more just get that, but honestly its the same. i really love the macbook, my friends and have the pro its cool cuz the keyboard lights up but other then that everythings the same.
The 13 inch Macbook Pro is way better than the white one. It's worth the extra $200 and you're getting firewire 800 and the SD card slot and a beautiful black bezel and black keyboard. The White one is mainly for basic use.
@SaigoMember Seriously - If your on the internet, use it! It's not hard to go onto the apple site and see if there is a black macbook. Plus - black macbooks are no longer being manufactured.
How does the new LED screen compare to the screen on the MBP's? I know it doesnt have that added 60% colour gamut, but is that noticeable in non-graphic work?
Yeah, I hate Windows. Once you've bought a Mac, You don't want a Windows ever again. A Mac is much easier, faster, and better! I now own an iMac, but I'll buy the Macbook (the latest of course ;-)) So why do I hate PC so much? Because Mac is much better! But if you love and/ or own PC, I don't hate you of course. I just think your computer is stupid.
Yeah sorry, I was also confusing myself. I mean, Mac's ARE personal computers, but not a PC in the sense of Windows. Sorry for my bad English, I'm Dutch.
I have a dualboot going on between OS X and Windows 7 (for Office 2007 for School) .. And plan on installing Ubuntu on it as well. Any tips as how to do such a thing on a MacBook Pro 5,5.
This is a nice evolution of the Macbook. For $999USD the new Macbook comes with a 250GB standard HD VS 13" Macbook Pro's 160GB. The white plastic unibody also makes it more rugged than Macbook Pro's aluminum body. The targeted consumers seem to be more of heavy Apple desktop users looking for a commuter laptop they don't have to worry too much about. Otherwise spend the extra $200USD for the 13" Macbook Pro's SD card reader, firewire, and backlit keyboard in a thinner & lighter form factor.
13" Black Macbook with 2.2GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD and all the other bells & whistles =-). My next Mac will be a 15" Macbook Pro with the Intel i7 processor I predict will come out in the next product refresh February 2010.
kool I am getting mine for xmas its under the tree, we no some people at the apple store. So we took out this special Warranty, its covers my mac for two years. at the end of the two years I have to Brake my mac, Drop, Smash, whatever. And then they give me a new mac, so i'll be getting the 2012 macbook pro. But what I got right now is really really good, and i'm not the type of person that get a new computer every time a new one comes out. The dude at the apple store just hooked us=)
My brother works at an Apple store, I'll have to ask him about this special warranty. The best way to break your Macbook without raising too much suspicion is to spill water on it (although I'd double check to make sure liquid damage is covered in your special warranty).
My other brother got a similar warranty from Best Buy 10 yrs ago and will be getting his 4th "free" laptop later next year while only paying just $250 total to extend the coverage to his new laptop. He's become a pro at it LoL
@CrazyHappyFace Haha, thanks! Why do you think I"m lucky? Is it 'cause I have a brother that works for Apple? Another brother that knows how to milk Best Buy's extended coverage warranty? I have a black Macbook? ...all of the above? =-P.

Its extremely straightforward on a Mac, just use Boot camp. Put the disk in, open boot camp, 20 minutes later your up and ready to go.

Get at least the MacBook Pro 15" with the Nvidia 9600 Graphics card. It's a dedicated card and so you'll get better performance out of it.
If you're not playing games you can use the 9400M graphics of the Pro. That's my 2 cents..
