The Register reviews Apple MacBook: Terrific notebook computer, great to use and looks lovely

“There’s no persuading a committed PC nerd of the unnerdy appeal of Apple’s consumer products, so I won’t bother. Whatever I write about Apple’s latest MacBook, they’ll hate it,” Alistair Dabbs reports for The Register’s reghardware. “They can buy computers for far less money that achieve better benchmark results, and serious computers are supposed to look hideous, so case closed.”

Dabbs writes, “Move on, nerdo, nothing to see here.”

“If, on the other hand, you quite like the idea of a notebook that’s fun rather than furious, comfortable and convenient rather than cold and calculating, and looks cute rather than cacky, the MacBook could be the computer for you,” Dabbs reports.

“It is a terrific notebook computer that is great to use for pleasure and everyday work, and looks lovely being slid in and out of a student’s shoulder bag,” Dabbs reports. “It’s expensive, but I don’t care: if you want cheap, go buy a tombstone. What I do care about, however, is the limited range of I/O ports. Please, sir, I want some more.”
