  • Which laptop was the first one that you showed. The one where the magnet charger disengaged when you used it on your lap.

  • lol @ the white mac. wtf?

  • can you connect speakers and a mouse to it?

  • 2:18 it's a b..b....b..b...BLACKBERRY!! D:

  • LMAO @ 3:20, I could barely hear what you were saying. Sounded like you took a bump of coke just pre recording. lol

  • is there a video editing software like on the macbook air?

  • @Karrrkarr, yep i know, Just Got My iPad 2 Free my self! I picked up my iPad 2 last night. I think they are still giving them away for free, google for: freeipad2tablet.info

  • Would you recommend this for personal use like browsing the net and school work and video and music editing once in a while

  • @101Skb

    You might want to look at the replacement of this computer.

    The MacBook air

  • Could you help me i was wondering whats better should i get this or the macbook pro (iv seen both reviews) im only 13 so cant really afford to save up for mac pro,

    i will be using The Sims 3 and editing on imovie as me and my cousins are starting to make our own movies so what would be better? Any help will be much appreciated.

  • Can you help me please? Im on a Fulltime college course in Media production (film and television) I enjoy editing the most and i want a new laptop which is a macbook. I currently have a HP G62 which is alright although it doesnt run smooth and i tend to get lots of problems with it, would this laptop is good for editing ect? as i dont have enough money for a macbook pro :/

  • i just ordered one =)

  • 0:10 Isn't that a PowerBook G4, not at G3 Macbook?

  • Cool Video

  • I used this to record my first video! :) I thought it did it's job well although I'll probably be getting a microphone to record better quality audio!

  • half the price more like double macs are a minimum of $1000 dollars where as with pc you could get just as good a laptop for $500 $400 even $300 dollars!!

  • I would like to know if it is expensive to buy the apple software that doesnt come with the macbook?

  • lmao macbook g3

  • Can u download FaceTime and how much is this? Please answer.

  • Are MacBooks (13 in) small looking?

  • so what is better Macbook or Macbook Air?

  • is this the latest white univody macbook?

  • Okay so I am a native PC user. I am looking into different laptops to buy seeing as I am getting a job soon and want to buy a new laptop. this Toshiba is not cutting it anymore. Now I have looked in to different gaming laptops seeing as that is mainly what I want to do. I want to find a good laptop for a grand or under. My question is should I pay for the Mac Book and upgrade it a little or should I just go blow $1500 on an alien ware laptop?

  • @DannySmackaHo If you want to game a macbook is definetly not the way to go. There are still some really good gaming laptops out there under 1000$ made by asus and the dell xps 15 and stuff but a Macbook won't support high quality gaming, only the pros will.

  • I saw you have a blackberry and you connected it with your MacBook.. How do you do that because I can't or I'm doin' it wrong.. NEEDHELP!!

  • i got one is so coool

    

  • I WANT THIS LAPTOP SO F ING BAD!!!!!!!!

  • I realize you posted this review a while ago, but i was wonderign if you could help me. I was wondering if you think the macbook will be alright for university? I'm planning to get one but am worried about the ram. i won't be doing any intense editing or anything like that.

  • Hey do you think the new imac i5 quad core 21.5 would be ok for SOME video and music editing... maybe like 3 days out of the week and then the rest for regular use and also some gaming (cod4, portal 2 and minecraft) And i will be recording some of the gameplay with screenflow.

  • @DUSTINwillKILL

    Go MacBookPro for editing, you will not regret it.

  • I'm getting one I'm gonna play minecraft on it

  • Hi, do you think its a good idea to get a Macbook just to play Facebook games,watching video, listening to music? Or should I just get a normal desktop?

    Thanks!

  • Question: The macbook air or the original macbook?

  • I got my macbook 4 years ago and it and it works awesome even do it's very old

  • Sorry for spelling I suck at typing on the iPad

  • Used for writing papers, sending male, browsing, watching movies (rarely but still) then I also want to start making YouTube videos so minor editing

  • Might have to get one.. i want a new laptop to finish my last year of high school and hopefully get me through 4 years of college. Can it do it? or would a Pc be better?

  • @snowboarddude117

    All depends on what you want to do. A Mac might cost a bit more, but it really is a great machine...

  • i'm really stuck right now...I'm hoping to eaither A. buy this refurbished for 849 from apple (original is 999 I belive)

    or B Buy a macbook pro for 1,049 refurbished original is about 1,300)

    I'm a home recording studio, because you can record with garage band, and I know you can get beat makers for mac...and Windows doesn't have enough power to do that...

    So should I save my money and go with a macbook, or spend extra for the pro?

  • @Fender04412

    The new Pros are insane, especially if you want to do some editing.

  • @ReviewGuy1000 which I do, one thing I forgot to metchion is remixing

  • @ReviewGuy1000 so would this normal macbook be ok for editing? because my new job is giving me a computer of my choice for editing and ill feel bad if i ask for a $1500 pro so i was just gona get this 1, is this still good for editing?

  • @sniperboy125

    I like editing on my MacBook Pro. Not so much on the MacBook.

    That is the best way to explain it.

    Make sure to look into spending a tiny bit more and getting more power on the Pro

  • does your 2009 macbook still run fast? im getting one from 2009 and im just curious

  • @MLGcinamin53

    No issues, it helps it came with Snow Leopard and the apps are still optimized for it. My older macs seem to slow down when trying to run the latest versions of apps like safari on a previous OS.

  • I got this one, well the mid-2010 one and it works really GREAT. This is my upgrade to my old PC that I had, the PC wasn't cutting it, at all. I use it for school (writing essays, powerpoints, excel docs.), gaming (works great, actually), email, MUSIC, photo. I got mine in February and it hasn't failed me once and I hope it doesn't. I hope, when I am done with schooling that I can get a pro. Great review.

    :)

  • hhaa i can now take pictures of the kids and send them to the laptop,Are you a pedo,

    haha im just kidding good review!

  • great job man!!!

  • could i have the one your wife had

  • hey can you pint me in the right direction for the cheapest place to get a macbook? that would be fantastic. 

  • @SubliminalxGh0st yah me 2

  • is this a macbook air or a macbook pro because i'm planning to buy one for school and i don't really know which one is better

  • @msxdorky

    Neither, click on my other videos to see the MacBook Pro reviewed...

  • @msxdorky definately new mac book pro

  • Hey Review Guy, I am thinking of buying this laptop, but the thing that stops me is the writing software, As a student I have to do alot of typing and have only used Microsoft Office. Is it easy to use? And is it a pain to transfer/convert Apple word docs over to Microsoft word docs?

    Thanks.

  • @PunkMetalKiDD

    I use Microsoft Office on my Mac.

    I type in Word all the time and send it to folks on PCs with no problems.

  • @ReviewGuy1000 what wud be better for a 12yr old in highschool who goes on the web alot and plays games plz reply :P

  • @xNANNA9

    For web and pics, this is perfect.

    If the games are graphic intensive and need a powerful CPU, you might want to look into a little more powerful MacBook Pro

  • @ReviewGuy1000 yh but wudnt a desk top be better?

  • Excellent review!!! Thanks for sharing!

  • I want one!!!

  • It would have been smart if u mentioned the price...duh. I wanna know now... Lol

  • @MakeupandHairGirl

    You want me to quote a price that adjusts over time or would you rather just search on Amazon to get "todays price" the day you are researching the product? I'd trust the Apple site before someone on YouTube.

  • Amazing video! It was awesome! The best review of the MacBook I've seen! I can't wait until I get mine in April!

  • I fall in2 the PC user category and I found the video very helpful.

  • I can't wait until I get one of these next month!

  • i have just got my macbook today after school it is amazing i have been waiting a long long time but its so worth it great hot keys and it said i would have ilife 08 came with ilife 09 :P

  • Hey ^^ hehe very nice and professional video. I love how you mention that apple makes the software and hardware. Although that may be true it is also false. ^^ apple does not make the core i5 and i7. Haha. But you're close. Apple does not make the core 2 duo as it belongs to intel. But apple does make the logic boards. ^^

  • aldo you could have used a better camera ( sony nex 5 ) and yes its worth to buy

    i think you done a great review...

  • I am getting a macbook tomorrow And im looking forward to it!!!!!!!!

  • One of the best reviews i've ever seen...2 MORE FRIKKEN DAYS :D

  • You cannot afford macbook? There is giveaway at macbook7 . com You can get one NOW

    I like it

  • i like pc and mac i own a desktop pc but i will be getting a macbook soon

  • haha ur fat

  • @beanorugger hahaha that made me laugh but that is rude! :D

  • Nice review. I never really looked into great apps like iChat or used Faces in iPhoto. =]

  • Godzilla FTW

  • What u doin with the powerbook g4(not a g3)

  • Good review man.

  • @ ReviewGuy1000 Should I pay the extra 200 for the macbook pro? this one is 2gb ram and the pro is 4gb. is it worth it or is the macbook fast enough i dont have to get it? are there any significant/annoying problems you have software wise?

  • @RogerSeles

    Check out the MacBook Pro video I just posted.

    Hopefully that will answer some questions.

  • @ReviewGuy1000 man that looks so awesome wanna get it 4 my b day(((((((((((((((( don't think that Santa will stay till my b day((((((((((

  • @RogerSeles you can also upgrade your macbook with 4 gb ram

  • @RogerSeles if the ram is all you care about just go to amazon and buy more ram. its maybe around $50 at most for 4GB

  • Just moved from a PC to a MacBook Pro, 13".

    Couldn`t be more satisfied.

  • screen sharing is nothing new to pcs my friend

  • @MachineGunGorilla

    Should I have not shown it. My bad.

  • @MachineGunGorilla But its new to iChat and to be fair alot easier to use than the PC equivalents. Its important to note this is actually remote control too, not just Skype screen-sharing.

  • @infinitesporkage you make a good point old chum

  • You can't afford Macbook Air? Check out offer at macbook7 . com Go and get yours

    I like it

  • can you make a video of how to send pic from your blackberry to your macbook??

  • @pajarokaripocapote

    You mean streaming via Bluetooth?

    Go to set up a Bluetooth device on your Mac.

    Make sure your Bluetooth is "on" on your phone.

    Make sure your phone is listening or discoverable.

    Your Mac should find your phone and ask you to put in a code to synch.

    Once you synch, click "browse device" on the mac. You should have access to your pic and videos.

  • It is fast enough to run Adobe CS5, does scratch very easy so use a case or protector. Also the keyboard sometimes hits the screen so put like a cleaning clothe between them when you close it.

  • im getting my macbook on sunday! :) so freakin exited!

  • i can't wait to get mine! :D It'll be my first Mac laptop :)

  • @anna2124 ME TOO :DDDDD im getting it soon. and i rrrrealllyyy cant wait!

  • @anna2124 yeah i can't wait to get mine too :)

  • @anna2124 me to hehehehe

  • @anna2124 my first mac :D

  • @anna2124

    it'll be my first laptop :D

  • Sorry, I think I meant AIM.. That one chat thing with the yellow running man logo. I'm sure you know what I mean. :D

  • I'm sorta confused with some things with iChat. I have gmail, so I used that for my Jabber. When I chat with my gmail friends I can just type, but not audio or video chats. And I didn't know about the screen sharing feature. I even decided to get an AOL account and had a friend get it and we tried to see if we could video chat, but nothing worked. Do these features only work between mac to mac? And does the certain account the person has matter?

  • is there any way you can plug an sd card into it?

  • @ztpunk123

    You'd need an USB card reader.

    The SD slot is only on the MacBook Pro

  • I'm getting a MacBook on staurday

  • hi,

    is there a macbook model that has the aluminium body and keyboard the most macbook pro do?

  • I just got mine this week and am completely inlove with it, Much better than a pc and so much easier to use. Thanks for the review, helped me make the decision =]

  • i have this computer and there is only 1 thing i don't like about it its that the screen shows finger prints really well but other than that everything is great about it

  • cant wait to get this! i have to save up starting after october! 126$ a week! that's gnna be 10 weeks of no spending! i better get serious!

  • Apple are INCREDIBLE...recently bought one it looks nice feels nice everything is perfect thoughroly recommend nice vid im subscribing

  • whats better for me. i attend college.mac or pc

  • iphoto has had facial recognition for a while.

  • Are you saying Macbook Mapple

  • Take your chance and win macbook air. Check out macbook7 . c0m!

    

  • is it good for playing mmorpg games like wow?

  • @st4ever1 WoW works great on a mac

  • Great Review!

  • One Person clicked the wrong thumb

  • I'm on mine right now and love it! Your video had a lot to do w/ which Mac I bought and made me feel a lot better about my purchase. Thanks so much this was very helpful.

  • @spincerpund free wifi WTF???? its got a built in wifi so if thats what ur asking then yes

  • Good Review man 

  • Is the macbook good with the 2gb ram or is it necessary to upgrade to 4gb?

  • Great review!

  • Great MacBook, but I'll get the next-winter generation of the MacBook on November and I can't wait!!!!

  • how much money

  • do you think used for $700 dollars is a good deal?

  • @1raulgamboa if its in good condition then its a great deal

  • @ImBonkerz100

    OK, clarified with the wife. She said the wallpaper was one of the ones that comes with the MacBook.

  • Hey! ur the best reviewer ive seen so far,, others just explain wat it has and reviews, i call that telling u the fukin specs and wat it does.. i think of reviews as showing wats in the macbook all the apps and many more... and u, the best!

  • @Ryan123654

    Thanks, love the feedback.

  • is the 2gb fast?

  • @purplemuffinman0198

    Tough question. Yes I think it is fast. As fast as my MacBook Pro (2.6 GHz) for most things. Unless you want to edit HD video, it should be fast enough for most needs.

  • @ReviewGuy1000 thanks for the help.. i just wish they werent so pricey..

  • @purplemuffinman0198 It's perfect for anything and pretty much the only way to make this Mac slow, with only the normal 2 GB ram and 2.26 GHz processor, is to have like 6 applications open and a Vista Virtual Box.

  • nice vid

  • LOve your video unlike everybody else who does crapy reviews. :)

  • where could you do reports? you know, like the ones you do on MSword for school. i know that there is ms office for mac but its quite expensive. i tried the trial but its not long enough for the school year.

  • hey is it really good for may be almost everything?

    because i saw one that is Apple MacBook - Core 2 Duo 2 GHz - 13.3 " - 1 GB Ram - 80 GB HDD

  • @doghappy101 I guess thats the "old" Macbook, not the late 2009. The late 2009 has 2GB Ram and a 250GB HDD.

  • uhm hey..i want to buy one of these..i cant afford the macbook pro.hehe..i was just wondering what graphics card is installed to this macbook .?? thanks :)

  • and scratches like mad!!!!!

  • If I have to make a recommendation would: do not buy any apple stuff

  • this is the new macbook?

  • @ReviewGuy1000-ooo thanks!!!whats its price now?

  • dude you could use blutooth on it anyways

  • great review. im thinking about getting one myself.

  • Great review. I really want a mac. I'm on a pc at the minute and I've never had a mac. Is it a waste of money because I know that there are other laptops out there for a lot cheaper. What are some of the cons about the MacBook?

  • Should I buy a macbook now? Or is there an update coming out soon? This will by the way be my first mac.

  • btw. you can get a Mac book and other stuff at lockerz if you earn enough LockerzCash (PTZ) by answering questions, invite people or watch enough Videos on lockerz. Its for free but it takes a long time to get enough PTZ.

    pm me your email for a free lockerz invite (so I can get 4 more PTZ :D)

  • i seen this on amazon

  • Love the review :)

  • Getting it asap!

  • so, this is not macbook pro?

    whats the difference?

    this macbook has a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor (with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory)?

  • @gryndelward i pissed off an apple tech by asking why anyone would get the base 13 inch macbook pro when all the specs are the same but the macbook pro has a smaller hard drive and costs 200 dollars more :D

  • Brilliant review....I really cannot wait to get this...Im a pc and hate everything about it....cant wait to change...

  • this is actually better then the lowest spec macbook pro but its £102 less so this is a better deal and this is perfect for me because i dont open much at one time so 2gb memory is fine and i wont fill up 250 gb in a hurry also im a games fan and the graphics card on this is fine by me. i cannot wait to get it

  • Awesome review!

  • Is it fast it says only 2GB

  • Great video! My macbook comes in a few days!

  • i havnt even watched the review yet but less than an hour ago i brought home a brand new white macbook(latest) and just wanted to say to whoever wants to know that its just amazing, its like just the atmosphere is amazing and i think its better than the pro(but the pro is still hands down amazing!!!)

  • great review thanks=)

  • wats the newest macbook pro and macbook also which one should i get ????thank you

  • @darklife83 wait till the new mac books its believed it will have core i5 or core i7

  • in what month should the new macbook come to stores? is it the 2010 macbook?

  • Amazing rewiew thx so much

  • I need a portable computer device for uni stuff - browsing, email, writing a few notes etc. Should I get a macbook or an ipad??? Too hard to choose!

  • depends what your budget is, generally id say macbook.

  • for that sort of stuff, i would say ipad. if you dont need a disk drive, and youre just doing online type stuff, get an ipad. its more portable, and its cheaper.

  • definitely a macbook! an ipad is just an overly large ipod touch.

  • @Equalitythroughmedia

    I have wondered that as well.

    My guess is that if you'll ever need to photoshop pics or use word or excel you'd want a mouse and a keypad to make life easier.

  • I just got a job and i am probably going to buy this or an imac (I'm 15 so not high paying job >.>) either way it will take months to get any of them so i have some time to decide which one to buy, thank you for this helpful review.

  • get an imac buddy, im 13 and saved up for a year, goddamn it was worth it, itsa beauty man, really amazing, u get double the spec on an imac for the same price :) and a better display MUCh better display :D x

  • were on the same page bud! ^^ I have a head start making money through my and so ill have the money probally a lttle into summer :) great review btw. I dont think PC users can match the quality of macs

  • i found this review very helpful in deciding to purchase this or not.. currently I am a PC user and now looking fwd to changing over to mac.. thanks for your helpful review! :)

  • Getting mine today, in part because of this review! Fantastic review!

  • Despite the nay sayers, i for one thought this was a brilliant review. I have been searching around for a review of this laptop, and this is the best youtube one i could find, most of the review's are on the Pro version, and not what i was looking for.

    Thank you for the detailed review!

  • Lol Man if you hung up from the ceiling and u work ur mac upside down you ll also get dizzy but this is not the Mac's problem. You guys are struggling to find a disadvantage of having a Mac that u sometimes are losing ur mind. Having ur mac on ur lap and in this way taking the risk for the cord to pull off without noticing it, IS NOT A PROBLEM TO MENTION IN A SERIOUS REVIEW.

  • I'm confused. I said they improved it that much better. Are you concerned that I referred that the old plug was not a "perfect" design? My comment was not a knock, obviously Apple made a change to the plug. By making the design thinner, they must have identified the previous design was too bulky. I personally, owning two MacPros have had problems as I stated. They didn't stop me from loving my Mac.
