great book <br>the high price is relative just look at what your getting a 1.8 ghz or 2 ghz intel <br>a combo or superdrive 60 gig hd 13 inch screen 512 mb ram <br>and all that for the same price of the book it replaced
<br>what do you mean high price ?<br><br>and quite frankly who cares about firewire 800 ( its dead you know ? apple moved on to usb 2.0 ) <br>the expansion slots are also a moot point ( what exactly do you need to add ? firewire a modem no wait i know an ethernet card ! )
<br>most users no indeed the users the macbook is aimed at arent concerned about expansion they just want a mac that works and thats that <br>the vram is the only sore point but not to the point that it makes the mac unworkable ( unless you want to play videogames ah thats the rub now isnt it ? )
<br>the macbook is aimed at thenormal consumer <br>the pro's are aimed at professionals and those who have high standards and wnat all the superflous stuff it has to offer <br>( though i kinda have to question the illuminated keyboard)
<br><br>havent played with the chicklet looking keyboard just yet but when the time comes this is the book ill be getting <br><br>>>Overall, I think this is a great start for the new MacBook line. With a 2GHz<br>
Intel Duo processor and the top end 120GB hard disk, you would be giving up<br>very little.<<<<br><br>could not agree more on that statement though <br><br>any complaining about the way iu type wil duly be ignored
<br>english is not my first language yes ?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/30/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Tom Legare</b> <<a href="mailto:Tom.Legare@comcast.net">Tom.Legare@comcast.net</a>> wrote:</span>
