Apple MacBook 2.4GHz

Comments:
The 2008 Apple MacBook is a perfect amalgam of design and usability, and is able to beat many Windows PCs at their own game.

Review Verdict: Being an Apple product there is an inherent expectation - based on our previous MacBook reviews, of course - that we will give this one an Editor's Choice, but despite our initial resistance we'll admit it - this product is very good indeed.

Comments:
Outstanding design, but price is still the major stumbling block

Review Verdict: There is no doubt the MacBook Pro has some impressive new features, but whether this will be enough to persuade high-end corporate users to make the switch from Windows is another matter. And at £1,749 for this 2.53GHz model it is expensive - we sus...

MacBook 2008 (midrange) preview

Comments:
It's the cheapest Apple machine based on the new unibody chassis design, but does the midrange model offer better value than the high-end version?

Product Rating: 4.5 star(s) Apple MacBook Pro

Comments:
We're always a little taken aback when we see Apple's MacBook Pro in the hands of PC power users. For example, we've seen PC game developers typing on MBPs at industry events. And at trade shows, it isn't uncommon to see Windows app developers sporting Ap

Review Verdict: The MBP's CPU is also top-notch: Intel's 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo T9300 chip. This 45nm-based Penryn CPU is just a step away from Intel's fastest mobile CPU, the 2.6GHz C2D. A 250GB SATA drive, slot-fed DVD burner, and 2GB of DDR2/667 make up the rest of the not

Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch) Review

Comments:
The news is finally out, and Apple has launched a range of new aluminium laptops under its consumer MacBook and professional MacBook Pro brands. Following a meeting this afternoon at the Apple office in London, we've got our hands on the 15-inch MacBook P

Review Verdict: The rumours of the new design featuring a body cut from a single piece of aluminium are true, and the new metal casing adds a great deal of style to both ranges. It also makes the laptop far more recyclable, as does the glass screen, and Apple looks to ha
