  • lovely review video video!!

    Gotta Love the Ipad 2. Personally, I think this tablet is the best on the market and this review is even better. Nice Review!

    @andersss as far as I got my iPad 2 for free, I can't complain:) Just Google for: freeipad2tablet.info

    I'm typing using my iPad 2 right now ;)

  • 949 pounds???

  • omg you total idiot 1 of all the track pad is great but you just don't know hoe to use and its not a gimmick you are a gimmick

  • wow the screen really is inferior in this model. Really glad Apple quickly fixed this when they rebranded it as a MacBook Pro =)

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

  • PS3 FTW! glad the advert was at the start of this vid lol!

  • this was my first mac

  • -If you dont want to buy a much better laptop pc for this money (or a similar but a lot cheaper)

    -if you can keep telling yourself that swapping with 3 fingers is actually more easy and faster than using backspace, or the back buttons on a mouse

    -if you want to pay more for less (less power, less storage, crap for 3D software and games, less customizability, stuck to Apple products and appliances which are again overpriced)

    -and if you like a heavy overheating grey brick laptop, yeah BUY IT!

  • Have they stopped selling the aluminum macbooks? Because the only ones ive seen are the plastic white ones. To get aluminum you have to get a pro or air.

    so have they stopped selling aluminum macbooks?

  • he looks like the guy of the shamwows

  • piece of cake! hahaha 2:29

    lol!!

  • @achidada piece of kit*

  • I think that if Apple would actually lower the price of this...More people would buy because they would be actually able to afford it...I mean I love Apple's products but theyre so expensive

  • They're built better and have more features than Windows PCs..In my opinion they also look so much nicer than PCs

  • Yea I know.....I love the way they look. I mainly want it for Garageband

  • ur paying more for looks and built quailty than specs....such a shame...Macbook goons will pay any price to Mr. Jobs.

  • how is multi touch a gimmick?! i use it everyday for surfing the web, using photoshop and dreamweaver, and it increases efficieny...terrible review

  • have to agree

  • @dazziola that's what you can expect from stuffmagazine

  • @dazziola that's what you can expect from stuffmagazine

    Plus, this is the 2008 Macbook , not 2009

  • nVidia card will improve games performance, but WILL NOT improve your experience browsing photos... also, "incredibly expensive" is bit of exaggeration... it's not netbook, is excellent quality laptop. Similar products, like HP Envy are within the same price marks..

  • Hey its a cool video. I 'm a big fan of Apple and just got to know that they are giving good offers for University students in India. Check this source 18004254646

  • Toshiba!

  • EH-LOO-MIN-YUM!

    lol 1:44

  • waist of money

  • says 800 on apple website...

  • oops! your title is wrong! Sorry for the one (*)! BUT YOU SHOULD change the title....

    I have 3 classes with kids looking for 2009 review and then note it is a 2008 review. So, you are welcome for the poor (*) rating!

  • i was considering getting one but you cant replace the battery, does anyone know how long it would be before it would need replacing?

  • @00bmx4life00 Depends how you treat it really but average is a about 12 months before it starts to degrade. Go for the MBP, it's battery is removable.

  • I heard on a review that it takes up to 1,000.

  • what?! A GIMICK? WHAT THE FUCK

  • you are right ...this is definitly no gimick ...

    I would call it A EPIC USER INTERFACE ^___^ !

  • Macbook air apple first netbook.

  • The new Macbooks are actually priced decently. The only thing that really bothers me is how they want $100 to upgrade a hard drive from 5400 to 7200 RPM, which should be a complete standard. In this day and age, 5400RPM is an embarrassment for a machine in that price range. Other then that, pretty nice. I'm going to get one sooner or later. Also, 9400M Graphics? Sounds a little weak. How many MB does that have?

  • When did macbooks have a glossy screen and backlit keyboard? I thought only macbook pros had that?

  • this was before they discontinued an upgraded macbook and just made the standard plastic one.

  • push0286 channel has macbook they are advertiseing for cheaper! whats better than a cheaper mac book i am going to buy one!

  • every video related, even slightly related to macs or pc's always got to have those huge debates about which ones better

  • what size has the screen

  • the things a pc will always be beter than macs are games, price and viruses (a pc has thousands more)

  • can't u just install windows on a macbook?

  • yes you can if you want to play your pc games which is pretty cool i saw one guy playing on his macbook pro playing call of duty 4 at full speed on windows.

    basically if you install windows on a mac it runs natively i think

    im not completely sure about this

  • macs arent worth the money.

    its built nice, but overpriced.

  • Your going to get so much shit.

  • ok? doesnt change the fact that its true..for the price of a mac pro i can buy a crazy pc. plus when win7 launches, mac wont touch that specific pc.

    macs are good for the music industry, maybe graphic arts..

  • Macs are good for people who use there computers for creative things.

    PC's are good for people who go to Barnes & Nobles who want to look cool while sipping there mocha fraps writing a novel they will never finish.

  • ok..

  • hahahaha Im ofcourse a PC man to ur description but hey, mac users are mocha frap 'wanna look cool' writing novels too..as I do that with my mac :'( lmao

  • don't forget pc's are good for gaming

  • incorrect, once snow leopard comes out, your crazy specced pc won't even be able to outperform the bottom the the line macbook pro in multitasking. btw, cnet tests show the imac with C2D multitasked better than a dell will a core i7. sad fact, but that's why OSX is so good.

  • when snow leapord is out. a pc wont touch its power.

  • oh yea macs all mighty power..what? work on photo shop, that movie maker, or that music editor? please dude macs are so over hyped. i understand they're really good for those things, but i seriously don't see the point of spending 1k-2500 on a computer to surf the web and take funny pictures. im a gamer, and just web surfer.i have a high end gaming desk top, and a 300$ netbook for school. i have 2 pcs that are great for the price of 1 mac, and snow leopard will never touch my gaming pc on specs

  • I cant even believe you would say "i seriously don't see the point of spending 1k-2500 on a computer to surf the web and take funny pictures" Thats so ignorant. I cant even tell you.

  • no its exactly what the average consumer uses it for...unless you're into making music, flash, or video editing..this is just a over priced laptop..im not saying the quality is crap or the os, but for 2k my pc iwill own any mac even the snow leopard.

    and over all this is my opinion, so its ignorant of you to not except opinions of others.

  • Yes you will "own" any specs of the mac, but what we can do with out computers fuckin destroys anything you can think of. I am *accepting* opinions of others, I was just pointing out that saying something like that was just about as ignorant as it gets.

  • relax there big guy. i honestly don't care about computers. computers are a pain in the ass, viruses, memory, ram, updates, graphics cards.. i just use 1 laptop for home, and one for car ecu settings thats it.. but apple is a brain washing whore bag so do what you want, i don't care after i post this reply. peace.

  • Way to make a second sweeping generalization. You mean PC's are a pain in the ass, Mac users don't have to worry about that stuff.

    Explain to me what a brain washing whore bag is?

  • nah i don't feel like it, im not talking about it..maybe you should get a hobby or something instead of talking to me.

  • Ahahaha you have to be like 14 years old. I remember my friends always getting in e-fights and then being like "You are gay I have a life so I cant sit here talking to you" even though they just went into the other tab and played Runescape.

    Dont be a pussy, just explain yourself.

  • nah bro im 22... why is that everyone always says "you must be 12,13,14,15,or w/e" the hell does it matter? do feel superior cause you are possibly a older age? to be honest by the way you're acting id say you're the 14 year old here... kid. i just choose not to explain anything.

  • Oohhh you called me 14. You know, I heard a quote a while ago that I think I should share. Some people might find it in poor taste but whatever.

    "Fighting on the internet is like the special olympics, even if you win, your still retarded."

  • so are you trying to go for the gold? btw you spelled your, its supposed to be you're.. d: ]

  • Thats clever, faggot. Get back to playing World of Warcraft.

  • i don't play that..

  • Im sure.

  • if you're sure then why make that last comment?

  • To let you know that I believed you. I cant think of anything worse (besides getting AIDS) than going to bed thinking someone doesnt believe you.

  • ok...

  • but really dude, macs are great but not that great, id rather own a mac if i worked in graphic arts, music, etc. i mention in my last comment but understand people like me dont need it, im a mechanic so pcs are best for me. i buy japanese electronics but if its mp3s, and i go only apple, if apple makes a tv i might buy it over a samsung or sony, but not over a pioneer lol. you see what im saying? they're great much love but mac users need to chill.

  • so getting one

    xD

  • What the hell, ur comparing the new Macbook pro with the macbook??

    ur suppose to compare it with the old macobook PRO!

  • man i want one sooo bad. but the prices are crazy! =(

  • i like the white one better.....

  • aluminium is waaaaaaaay better

  • Well I love the multi touch trackpad and all of the gestures that accompany it and my aluminum macbook.

  • a gimick? wtf you amateur the gestures save time!

  • huh? i thought aluminium macbook 13inchs are now called macbook pro?

  • you just said it, NOW.

    This video was uploaded October 15, 2008

    After WWDC 09 all macbooks have been upgraded and now are called Macbook Pros

  • huh? why don't you take 2 seconds to see when this was uploaded? idiot

  • no time for that

  • that what I thought too

  • I just go a huge discount on my apple computer, to cash in on this discount call toll free on 1800 425 4646

  • does the student discount apply only if i bought mac online?

  • i think so

  • 8% off (school/collage) or

    14% off HE (uni)

    this is for the uk

  • does mac have all the important apps (such as mocrosoft word) that a pc have?

  • yes but you need external drives and pc s are a lot easier to use.

  • er....no u dont need an external drive. not unless your buying the air. as far as ease of use iv owned windows based pcs for the last 15 years and i find a mac much easier to use

  • ahh do i care

  • er...u should

  • u cared enough to comment. epic fail dude

  • when i saw the macbook air i fell in love with it ontill i heard it does not have molty touch,................so im getting the new macbook pro 13 inch

  • Kid, the MacBook Air was the first of their laptops to incorporate Multi-Touch. It's trackpad just isn't of the new all-button, glass kind - it just has a regular button strip at the bottom.

  • I heard they (apple) have made a new 13,15 and 17 inch macbook pro line of laptops and they are cheaper.

  • I can't understand why apple doesn't add the illuminate keyboard in the cheaper model

  • I can't either. I watched an interview and their engineers were like "we don't want to deprive any of our lower level macs from higher end features"... Lies! If you need the convenient lit keyboard, fork over $300 more dollars! Which isn't justified considering it only gets you a lit keyboard, 90gb of memory and .4ghz faster processor :(

  • cuz they want u to purchase the xpensive one, and i think its worth it.. better processor.

  • so there are people who buy the 2.4 version to get that illuminate keyboard.

  • lol i bought the 2.4 but the illuminated keyboard is excellent and couldnt live without it now, the .4ghz is debatable whether you would notice but you do also get almost 100gb extra storage. i did buy mine with employees discount and it cost me just under 800 so got over £300 off which was very good.

  • the 2.4 version is nice.. i want to get that too but im afraid if theres a new version come out. it almost june and usually mac launch a newer version between june-august.. i dont know whether i should wait or not.

    i will get the 2.4 version now if theres no newer version come out.. hehe

  • doubt it. it hasnt even been out a year yet. the old one took 3yrs to be updated so i wouldnt worry about an update just yet but by all means wait and see. they might add an extra 0.00001ghz power lol

  • its probably worth waiting a few weeks till wwdc just to be safe :)

  • things changed.

  • Apple India is currently offering student discounts on its MacBooks, for details call toll free on 1800 425 4646

  • (\__/)

    (='.'=)

  • Get a job. When you grow up you'll tell your kids the same thing. At your age of 13 you're nothing but a spoiled kid, your dad's right you don't need it. Get a job and buy it yourself. Kids always expect their parents to just go out and buy them anything they cry about.

  • Are you refering to me? I said that they do have viruses just not that many

  • Apple India is currently offering student discounts on its MacBooks, for details call toll free on 1800 425 4646

  • I love the apple mac

  • 0:31 lmao

  • its beacuse they use the same alum with the ipod so why not save the cash buy using the same materials very smart i just am so used to micro that i dont know really how to use a apple, i think there the best quality computers you can buy i just wish there user interface was a little more understandable with a little time i believe i could be wizzin through everything but at the moment i am still just a micro user

  • I think i'm actually in love with my MacBook!!! If i had a wife i'd love my macbook more than her. This is my first mac and i'm wandering why it took me so long to come over from the 'dark side'. It is true what the say...'After mac, you don't go back!!'

  • ... seriously ... get yourself a girl man ;-)

  • lol, same here with my iMac!!

  • The new Mac Book pro is what I need. How far away is Christmas :)

  • i guarantee that Apple is working on a new netbook right now

  • macs are for fags.

  • stfu man

    pc's r less expensive, but macs r way better

    and pc's take like 2 full minutes to start up, macs only take 2 seconds

  • buy a PC laptop, put OSX on it with a patch, then you'll have the most efficient laptop. no more comments need to be posted. OH, and mac people, you have nothing on desktops. game over forever.

  • or get a macbook and have a sexy laptop ;)

  • sexy laptop is an oxymoron

  • Hey Man, who are u calling a god damn Moreon? lol :-)

  • if you mean that by Apple don't make desktops your talking rubbish, Mac mini, iMac and Mac Pro are all award winning Mac desktops

  • True, there are some PC manufacturers out there with some absolutely stunning designs and hardware that are let down completely by running windoze. 'Hackintosh' computers are an excellent way of getting the best operating system on the market on a budget laptop. Have to disagree with the desktop thing though. The iMac is stunning and very capable, the Mac Mini is really starting to get the power it deserves and the Mac Pro is just sublime. Game over? I think not...

  • closed systems, yeah game over for you blind people

  • thalliumproductions is giving away an macbook for free. all you have to do is be subscribed to him, theres a video with all the info in my channel. so subscribe to him

  • Give and take, I am going to get one, but initially I laughed when I looked at the price of it. That said, if you look at the prices used macs get on, say ebay, if you sell it after say 6-12 months and get another one, you arent actually loosing all that much.

    They have much better re-sale values compaired to windows based laptops.

  • that' true apple computer costs a lot of money even their cheapest notebook is 1000 dollars US..

  • yes i will agree, its pretty expensive, and as usual, the UK always gets the rip off prices !

  • gimmick, your joking right, this guy must be a PC user, because i use the touch controls all the time, and ITS NO GIMMICK. this guy is a pc user.

  • macbook pro is so cool man, I want one for ma b-day,, to bAD they are so expensive, which one is cheaper, the white one or the black one?

  • The best feature on my Macbook by far is:

    I can scroll down the page using 2 fingers its so much easier than clicking and dragging because the new Macbooks have a thing where u can use 2 fingers to scroll, spin pictures, etc.

  • yehh well mac is a different colonia what takes life much much slower and joy all every second of life than pc`s does it ever i`ve use pc on the first than apple was my first laptop and computer what so ever ... i loved it even i use pc to day and at the same time still have my old powerbook ... i hope once i have the money to buy one newer one i will do it again and also restore my older one or rebuild it the sound just something different even on the old one as the new pc`s can give with Hd...

  • hey i have a doubt wich is better macbook or macbook air ? pleas answer me ..

  • i would say the macbook is better than the air. on the mancbook you can remove your battery if it runs out whereas on the air you cannot do that. My Cousin has the air and he his really angry that he didnt choose the Pro.

    so if you were looking for one i would go with pro. which is exactly what i am using to write this message.

    they are a bit on the expensive side at about $1500 but still. i also recommend you get one with os X 10.5 leopard. it is a great operating system.

  • MacBook DEFINATLEY!!! the MacBook is cheaper more powerful and useful. the air is just thin but the MacBook is thin and light enough!

  • yea i have the 2.4ghz version with 4gb ram and its screaming fast and on vista scores/rates higher than any XPS laptop FACT. i plan on buying a cinema display this summer aswell so it works as a desktop too

  • luckky! or if you actually bought if with your own money lol good job

  • mine is coming tommorow aaaa

  • are macbooks really good im thinking about buying one but i want too know is it worth it? some help

  • Yeah I guess so

    Hurray here's to differing opinions!

  • i just got one of the new mac books, and its my first mac and i think its great :)

  • ive never had a mac, but ive used them and want one!!

  • it nice i like it alot

  • Best way you can spend $2000 on a computer. No lie, you won't have to reboot it for months at a time. Fuck vista and faggy PC games anyways, go for the mac!

  • I would run Windows on a mac any day of the week than I would a PC.

    Windows runs better.

  • ok, but still, if someone pushes to hard the pad, it will click, and you could accidently click and drag something, it's a dumb idea.

  • I've been using this for about .. 5 months now

    and I've never had that problem

    It's a good idea

    It's weird at first

    But I got use to it very quickly and it's a lot better then a normal PC track pad any day

    Go to an Apple store and try it out your self

    You might change you're mind

  • Well, I prefer the simple old separation, and I can infact do everything on a tap pad, as I could do with a click pad, 1 tap, select, 2 taps, double click, voila.

    I prefer Windows based systems, I wouldn't try anything from Apple.

    Nothing Apple makes will change my mind, I don't even own an iPod.

  • :P well quit you're moaning

    if it's not aimed at you

    Why complain

    Just enjoy your way and we'll enjoy ours :)
