Apple MacBook 13-inch review summary by PC Magazine
If you held off buying an older Apple iBook with one of the G4 processors, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back for making a shrewd tech-buying move. The new Apple MacBook ($1,699 direct) is the latest successor to the iBook 12-inch and is loaded with many of the same cool features found in its MacBook Pro brethren, the MacBook Pro 15-inch and MacBook Pro 17-inch. You’ll be happy to find such treats as the latest Intel components, a glossy widescreen display, and even a new matte-black finish.
It is a rare and exciting experience—at least for me—to bring an ultraportable on a business flight, let alone one as travel-friendly as the Dell XPS M1210 ($2641direct, as tested). Luckily, I just happened to have a trip planned the same time the M1210 came into PC Magazine Labs. The M1210 is light enough to carry around comfortably and powerful enough to get all my work done.
