Apple has been content to issue minor periodic hardware updates to the 13-inch MacBook, but the modest performance gains and new Leopard OS keep it in our top tier of laptop recommendations.

The Good: Upgraded CPU for the same price; same great design; Leopard operating system.
The Bad: Still no Express card or SD card slots; only more expensive models are available in black.
The Bottom Line: Apple has been content to issue minor periodic hardware updates to the 13-inch MacBook, but the modest performance gains and new Leopard OS keep it in our top tier of laptop recommendations.

Review Summary: With a faster processor and improved graphics, the MacBook gains a bit of a boost.
The Verdict: With its faster processor, improved graphics and longer battery life, the MacBook is an attractive option for budget-conscious laptop shoppers. Performance-wise, the MacBook isn’t much different from the 13in 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro – the extra...

Review Summary: With improved battery life and more graphics power, the Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz) is a nice value proposition for those who don't need the extras—like SD card slot, backlit keyboard, or aluminum design—offered by the MacBook Pro.

Review Summary: The new MacBook has a lot of MacBook Pro features but with Regular Joe pricing (well, Regular Joseph III Esquire, anyway). At the same time, however, Apple has dumped a few key components that even "non-Pro" people might miss.
The Verdict: Apple's new MacBook integrates a number of impressive features from the MacBook Pro line while maintaining a lower cost and valuable features aimed at regular users (as well as those new to the Mac ecosystem).

Review Summary: THE new MacBook is strikingly slick, durable and rugged and carries a lot of Pro features.
The Verdict: There's something about a computer made entirely of white plastic - from glossy, rounded exterior to matte keys - that makes the new MacBook look like something you would give a child

Review Summary: Unfortunately glossy LCD panels have become a habit with Apple and its competitors alike. This one has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. Reflections are unavoidable, even if the high brightness attenuates the problem. We measured a maximum level of...
The Verdict: It's handsome, it's quiet, with long battery life and an impeccable finish. All it needs is a few extra ports, a matte-surfaced LCD panel, and maybe a slight performance boost. But the most affordable MacBook still merits a high recommendation.

Review Summary: The most inexpensive MacBook from Apple, this 13-inch laptop bundles in cool looks and efficient all-round performance very well.
The Verdict: Arguably, at Rs. 56,580, one can easily get a laptop with a better processor and internal hardware. But it won't be as cool as a MacBook, and won't compare it in terms of style and design. If price plays a greater role in a shopper’s buying decisions...

Review Summary: Surprisingly, given that polycarbonate shell, it's a touch heavier than its siblings, too – 2.11kg on its own, or 2.52kg with the power supply. Unsurprisingly, the lithium polymer battery is still non-removable, but you can probably leave that power...
The Verdict: A design improvement and a decent specification, but we still prefer its Pro cousin
