Apple MacBook (13-inch, 2GHz Intel Core Duo)

Category: Laptops

The good: Thin and light; robust software package, including Mac OS X Tiger; magnetic lid latch and scrollable touch pad; DVD burner; built-in Webcam; remote control; can run Windows XP using Apple’s free Boot Camp utility.

The bad: Nonnative software runs slowly on Mac OS; lacks media card reader and some other ports; higher-end configurations are much more expensive than similarly configured Windows laptops; only 90 days of toll-free tech support.

The bottom line: With the MacBook, Apple has corrected a handful of the iBook’s shortcomings, hit a reasonable price point, and delivered a laptop that makes a great compromise between size and portability.

Specifications: Processor: Intel Core Duo (2 GHz); RAM installed: 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM; Weight: 5.3 lbs;
