Apple 13" Aluminum Macbook Review

[xxridesundayxx]

whats the name of the song?

[Leifur888]

Does the Aluminum Macbook Come with the Backlit Keyboard, or do you have to take it to a store to put it on, because i oftenly use my computer in the dark.

[PolishCutie93]

is this the OS X snow leopard?



[redtec989]

i cant bellieve people pay £100 or so to get the old model where they just slaped a pro sticker on it!

[XxHardcorexxGamerxX]

Nice intro guitar music! And nice video!

[HaloSparta]

it's dead slow imo

i was thinking of getting one but now im confused... pay $1200 for this OR get a laptop with the same specs + an xbox 360 with games

[rjpags77]

Do you think that the 13 inch screen is big enough because um considering getting a macbook but i don't know what to get the 13 or 15.

[lazership]

Why mac and not windows (what's the diffrence between those)?

The bad thing I know about Mac is that No one have a choice with it:/ They would probably sell mor macs then.

[gyuguyguy]

that sucks they rebranded it out as a pro and upgradedit lol

[yvobaas]

is after effects and photoshop good working on it?

and this is the first good review i see on youtube

[soldout99]

Just pull the charger out carefully, don't pull it by the wire, as you say dropping it on a floor. :P

[ewdennis]

dose photohop come with it or do you have to buy it

[idknuttin]

whats the difference between this and the regular (not aluminum)???

[hardyzfan253]

alot of people say that external things like usbs or cameras wont connect with this comp, is that true?

[TheAsianAppleGod]

no seriously. I like the 13" screen. :)

[TheAsianAppleGod]

"i'm finally happy with the 13 inch. About the perfect size for me" That's what I said ;)

[69eyezrock]

is mac good for editing? like doesnt it have like final edit pro on it or somthing? and is it good for gaming, like cod for pc and some other pc games?

[lolMyke]

I find imovie works great. And i have got final yet..

[AmSClarinette]

i was wondering, i saw you had a cable plugged into your mac, what is it for? To charge?

[BestOneEver123]

dus it hav webcam?

[LastStopReviews]

yes

[hardyzfan253]

and what does firewire do anyways?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

im looking for my 1st macbook soo ima go with this one then spend a year or so with it then upgrade to the macbook pro and hopefully next year some newer models?

[kc243243]

when r the new models coming out, should i not buy one now?

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

Pcs are all about illegal softwares , MACs are about legal softwares....nuff said!

[chinchypinay]

@DJTEVAdotCOM lol. that is so true. that's why im debating which i should get windows or mac. but i already huv a window laptop just want a new 1.

[JSantana319]

I love this laptop but to be honest I think it's way to small for me. I prefer the 15 inch Macbook Pro, but other than that, this 13 inch is a great notebook and it's super fast.

[ThePikoowx]

Hey !! does The 13" Model Have 9600m ! Don't THink So It's The 9400M dude !

Nice video BTw

[WhereIsMyKtulhu]

Yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I finally received my Macbook Pro for free from Lockerz. God i'm so happy!!!! :DDDDD

If you need an invite for lockerz just pm me your e-mail. Oh jeez i'm so happy right now i cant explain)))

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

..macbook is all about cosmetics...their specs are way behind pc...for the price u can get a core 2 quad....and macbook goons will pay any price for latest and greatest....and why cant pc have the same built quality?

[TheLonelyHappyMeal]

because pc's dont work lol

[Frobbychannel]

that look slot smaller than the 13 inch !!! :/

[mrmclaren27]

@ weenylem

Okay really? They did stop the aluminium MacBooks but they made them more affordable and worthy of being a pro by adding the SD card slot and FireWire 800 port.

[roflmeidleme]

theres no 9600mgt in the macbook 13 inch.

[weenylem]

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO STOP THEM?!?!

they had such an attractive appearance

[belbers9715]

What?

[MrLockerzdude]

It's really a shame that you can't place a new harddisk or battery on trhe MacBook Pro =(

[insidegui]

You can. It's just not as easy as It was with the removable battery.

[TheSingingBeez]

I love Mac.Nice review!!!

[rdanielbautista]

whats the song of the beginning

[DaleJacobWooddell]

Your an asshole

[bonjoouurr]

that song is cute :)

[TheWorldofJoe]

I want to know if i should get the high end 13 inch model (this one) or the low end 15 inch. They're both the same but I'm concerned about screen size. Is 13 inches big enough for games and movies? Do movies look nice or should I get the 15 inch. Also does the 13 inch feel good in hand?

[LastStopReviews]

If i weren't lugging this to school on a daily basis i'd get the 15". The 13" is big enough to play games on for sure, and movies look good too, but if you aren't going to be taking it with you day to day then i'd suggest the 15".

[Kromius99]

this is the macbook, you want to get the 13 inch macbook pro

get the 13 inch macbook pro high end for 1500

its 200$ cheaper, no point 200$ more for 2 inches, thats 100$ an inch

[pbdude725]

its also a bigger body altogether but still... u r correct

[nil1230]

bigger is always better. get the 15" model..then upgrade it. 13" is a bit too small..for me

[gmaster45612374]

I work with one of these and the screen is fairly small but the screen so so crisp and clean. its up to you.

[bankai865]

i thought if u needed or wanted to change your bateery u culdnt open it...u wuldf have to send it to apple?

[LastStopReviews]

With the new models with the 7 hour battery that is correct. Unfortunately I've got the model that has the normal battery so it is removable as is the hard drive.

[bankai865]

ohhh..i idnt see any yesterday at the apple store..do they still sell it?

-by the way i subscribe..ahaha

[LastStopReviews]

No they upgraded the line last month. Now the only one with the removable battery is the white macbook.

[bankai865]

man...so the one you have was limited production basically.

[spells14]

most likely you wont have to tho, think about it, even if you recharge it everyday, once a day, thats like going to take 3 years, but by then, i mean its whatever.

[bankai865]

i was hoping for my macbook por im getting in ten days (i cant wait)..ahah..that it wuld last me awhile..so are you happy with your macbook? do you recomend it?

[spells14]

yeah totally dude, its so sick. have you used os x before? its def going to be different from windows, it may seem crazy at first, but after like a month on it, you don't wanna go back, its awesome.

[ramsy66]

Saving up for one of these as we speak! did you say that in the 2.0 ghz version the keyboard doesn't light up?

[afg96]

wow what are you serious

[Joethemonkey101]

great review

[sky3y3s]

Does that laptop have a place where i can put in a video gome? like a dvd rom to run a game on?

[MrAwesomedude23]

MG-are those really lite cause their aluminum.

[acpequeno]

MG- i wil soon get a macbook and get rid of my laptop haha

[coxboyentertainment]

MG-please

[haltzy]

is it true that they stoped making aluminum macbook's ??

[LastStopReviews]

Technically yes, but not really. All they did was rebrand the aluminum macbook, and branded it a macbook pro. So now all aluminum enclosures are macbook pros and the polycarbon shell is the macbook.

[haltzy]

i wonder what made them do that...

to make people pay for a more expensive machine probley.

[LastStopReviews]

actually they increased the specs on the entire line, and dropped the prices. It's probably just so there is a clear line between macbook and macbook pro.

I wouldn't be surprised honestly if we saw a new portable device enter the macbook line replacing the white macbook

[thierryosman]

does a macbook have all the important apps such as( microsoft word)?

is macbook good for college student like me

[LastStopReviews]

They do not come standard with office, but you can buy it for only $150. Depending on your major a macbook should be a great choice. I'd only suggest a macbook pro if you were wanting to do more with design and would need 4gb of ram.

[colintay909]

why buy office if you can get Open Office for free.. if you are just doing basic word processing such as paper for school and stuff Open Office is free. Take a look at it.

[Appleaddict22]

1066 MHz DDR3 RAM... u made a mistake.. ;p

[darklink09]

i like how u throw the cable after saying treat it with care lolol

[darklink09]

LOL!! dog wants attention and food and all you care about is the mac review!!! lol j/k

[CoIdFront]

Is the base macbook adequate for some photoshop work?

Drawing, editing, ect.

[PianoScience]

He probably meant faster processor.

[gabebravo]

Great review! I plan on getting one soon. Maybe after WWDC.

[Appleaddict22]

clever move

[Mohdrizal1991]

i from malaysia and plan to get a macbook 2.0ghz package for next semester in university....wonder when the snow leopard will be released?

[LastStopReviews]

Most likely September. We will most likely see a final developers release at WWDC, with a public release date most likely marked for september.

If you don't need the macbook until fall i'd strongly encourage waiting to get it. By the fall the specs will probably be bumped up, and you will be able to get snow leopard too.

[Appleaddict22]

around how much do you think it will be?

[eskyboarders]

i dont know much about computers but is it good to edit videos with?

[LastStopReviews]

It's good for standard definition videos. It runs slow doing HD videos, even 720p.

[linkinppark]

do you run bootcamp?

[LastStopReviews]

No, I don't, but I know a lot of people who use it flawlessly. I actually haven't used windows since XP days, before all the vista junk.

[Zillicah]

Awesome, thanks for the review ;)

5/5

I just ordered the 2.4GHz macbook!

[LastStopReviews]

That's awesome. You'll enjoy it, glad I could help.

[homeboy1004]

haha well jw but yeah I really like the look of the mac books and thats one reason I am about to but one but I also find it faster than a pc with more features like bootcamp huh you can run windows on it and thats kool

[matster29]

Nice, i really want that

[homeboy1004]

great review but would you ever go from mac to pc just wonderin??

[LastStopReviews]

Honestly? Maybe... That's really the best answer I can give. If PC developers (Hardware & Software) stepped their game up to rival mac I would be tempted because it's cheaper to build a PC than to buy a mac.

But as of now, no Apple's Mac offers way to much stability and classy look where, and PC falls short on both accounts.
