Apple unibody MacBook Review
Oct 25 2008, 9:00am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr
Apple announced the new unibody MacBooks two weeks ago. Our review partner Digital Trends tested the new MacBook and published a review of the new MacBook.
Quote from the review: "The biggest news on Apple's latest MacBook update may also be the most obvious: it's not plastic anymore. Apple has canned the old (and iconic) white MacBook look in favor of a new unibody aluminum design that makes the MacBook and its larger brother, the MacBook Pro, much tougher to distinguish now. The company has also nixed another extraneous button with the complete removal of any mouse buttons, replacing them with a mammoth touchpad that actually acts as one giant button, and pulls the same multi-touch tricks as Apple's iPhone, opening the door to all sorts of convenient shortcuts. While these major changes, along with a handful of smaller ones like an LED-backlit LCD screen, help make the notebook one of the best looking and most solid we've ever laid eyes on it, its price takes a hike accordingly as well."
