Review: Apple takes the MacBook upscale
—
October 28, 2008 (Computerworld) If an Apple iMac married a MacBook Air, what would their offspring look like? A lot like Apple Inc.'s new upscale MacBook. I use the word upscale because even though prices for the newest version of Apple's consumer laptop are largely unchanged, the look, feel ...

Computerworld reviews Apple’s new 13-inch MacBook: upscale look, feel and performance
MacDailyNews — ... reviewing the options for their next hardware-upgrade cycles. Such is the case here at Computerworld. Several of our editors have been evaluating the MacBook -- particularly the keyboard and the screen -- to see whether it would work as a replacement for older Windows-based laptops. Of the five people most seriously considering Apple's laptop, four of them are ready to make the switch, and one is still uncertain," Mingis reports. Much more in the full review - recommended - here .

Opinion: New MacBook is a stealth business notebook
Macworld — by Scot Finnie , computerworld.com Editor’s Note: This story is excerpted from Computerworld . For more Mac coverage, visit Computerworld's Macintosh Knowledge Center . Many observers consider the iPhone, with its Exchange support and fledgling manageability features, to be Apple’s Trojan horse for the medium to large enterprise market. And with good reason. Figures just out show that Apple sold more than 10 million iPhones during its first 15 months. With or without IT approval, a whole lot of Apple smart phones are being used in business settings. That’s why I paid close attention to the new MacBook and MacBook ...

How to make a MacBook zippy -- just add an SSD
Computerworld Blogs - Macintosh & Apple — I guess it runs in the family. About a month ago, my mom's MacBook Pro (a 17-in., 2.5GHz model she bought last summer) started freezing randomly -- and the only way to get things moving again was by picking it up, tilting it to the right and then carrying on with the task at hand. Diagnosis: bad hard drive and/or sudden motion sensor. Mom couldn't bear the prospect of being without a laptop for even a few days -- how else to keep track of Clay Akien's comings and goings -- so she bought a $1,299 MacBook to tide her over. I, in turn, promised I'd sell her "gently used" MacBook for her when she was back up and running. Thus, a couple of weeks back, I inherited that MacBook. After ...

Hands on: Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro packs a punch
MacBytes.com — When it comes to Apple laptops, what's in a name? More specifically, what does adding the "Pro" moniker to Apple's 13-in. MacBook mean? It means that Apple again has three MacBook Pro models to choose from: this newly renamed 13-in. MacBook Pro, the popular 15-in. version and the larger 17-in. model. Best of all, the change comes with price reductions across the lineup -- the MacBook Pro line now starts at $US1,199 for the basic 13-in. model, with a slightly more tricked out version going for $US1,499. That's $US100 less than the respective MacBooks that preceded them. With the latest update, the smaller Pro models not only get processor speed bumps, they also get a major ...
