| Mac MC516LL/A |
The Apple MacBook MC516LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop has a8.6 rating out of 10 with 37 reviews.
This Mac Book is perfect for web browsing, e-mail, and document creation.
Comes with great features right out of the box: iLife simply rocks; it comes with PhotoBooth, Garageband (where you can create your own music or learn to how play an instrument), Preview, and iMovie (it's basically an easier version of Windows Movie Maker)
Time Machine for backing up documents and pictures, which is FAR SUPERIOR than using the Backup Feature in Windows.
Wi-Fi is SO EASY to set-up using what Apple calls "Airport", just go to the wi-fi antenna at the top of the right-hand corner and set-up right there.
Printing: Coming from a Windows world, and living in a household with a wireless network, setting up a printer was a pain in the butt with Windows, with Mac, it's SO EASY to set-up and begin printing.
BlueTooth: BlueTooth is common in all laptops nowadays, and again, like setting up a printer, it basically connects with the BlueTooth device automatically.
MagSafe Adapter: Apple introduced this idea called MagSafe. If someone got caught on your power cord, it would take the cord and not the computer. I can't tell you how many times my dogs got caught on my IBM power cord and basically almost took the computer with it.
Battery Life: Wow, what a difference. I was coming from a half-hour battery life on my IBM, although Apple says that the battery can last on a 10 hours on a single charge, in the real world, it's falls under 6 hours, but still this is pretty incredible.
Conclusion
If you only want to use the Macbook for general tasks like writing articles, browsing websites or watching movies, it will handle those duties adequately.
Review Number 2
I usually do not write reviews, but i felt for this computer I had to! It is so great. First, it's so easy to start up.. you basically just turn it on, make a user name and thats it!! I expected it to be bulky, but i was pleasantly suprised when I opened the box and saw that it is sleek and the perfect size for travel. I am a student and this computer is perfect. Apple is very good about customer service. This mac already comes with a one year warranty. ( i bought the extension, a three year warranty) I would recommend this to anyone. I will never go back to windows!!
