Jon Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 I am writing this on my macbook right now and all I can say is that anyone proclaiming it to be shit just because of the graphics card hasn't got a clue. This thing is fast, light, portable and cheap. The only complaint I have is that base RAM isn't enough, but thats only about £60 to fix. I have installed windows and that runs unbelievably well- games like Guild Wars run smoothly and HD trailers are amazing. For a student like me, its the best thing I have ever purchased (writing essays on the new keyboard is so easy ) But for anyone getting this, I have one warning- while it is a great purchase, don't expect to have it on your lap for too long. The area near the magsafe port gets HOT. In reply to something earlier, iphoto and imovie are fine (but upgrade the RAM) but photoshop is USELESS. It isnt universal yet and is being emulated in Rosetta, so it runs at an awful rate. If you want to use it, then wait for them to make it universal (2007) or just use it in windows. How long did it take for them to build and ship yours?
reaper673 Posted June 3, 2006 Posted June 3, 2006 I bought mine from the apple store in Birmingham, but other people I know who bought one said that (for the basic model) it took about a week to get it from apple from date of purchase.
