Apple MacBook MA255LL/A 13.3" Laptop Review
Apple MacBook MA255LL/A 13.3" Laptop Review from Michael Goonan. The Greatest Computer on Earth, I am extremely happy with my new MacBook. It is my first Mac, and I have to say that I should have switched long ago.
Setting up the computer was a total breeze. When Apple says that “it can do it all right out of the box”, they aren’t kidding. All I had to do was fire up the computer, create a username and password, and I was in. I didn’t even have to do anything for it to detect my wireless network connection. In fact, not only did it pick up the signal from mine, but several of the neighbors as well! All together it only took about 5-10 minutes!
The features that come on the Mac make all other computers pale in comparison. iLife ‘06 is included. Some other cool stuff bundled with the MacBook are Photo booth and iMovie, which you can use to take pictures and record movies right out of the box, without any cables to hook up.
Another great thing about the MacBook is its speed. You know how much of a hassle it can be to restart your PC, and it usually takes several minutes. Not on a MacBook. My computer restarts and is ready to use in less than a minute. Web pages and computer programs load faster than ever as well.
I had my doubts about the 13″ monitor when I bought my MacBook, but I have to say that they have been disproven. It has an incredable 1280 X 800 screen resolution, and the glossy display is so good that you can see it from accross the room or at an angle; try that with a laptop PC and I guaruntee you’ll get a glare.
The MacBook is also amazingly portable. It is very thin and only weighs about five pounds, so it is very easy to carry around the house.
One final feature I’d like to point out is Front Row. The MacBook comes with a remote control that can be used to access this amazing feature, which can be used to watch DVDs or listen to music from accross the room without have to go up to your computer to change the volume, access the DVD menu, ect. Front Row also offers all of the latest movie trailers very conveiently.
As you can see I am very satisfied with my MacBook, and I highly reccomend it. One other note: Mac now supports right-click as well, so be sure to get a two button mouse to go with your new MacBook!! I reccomend the Microsoft wireless notebook mouse which has a very small and portable snap in reciever.
