Special MacBook Edition
There's so much 'Book news this week that we've split it down
the middle. Our normal 'Book Review looks
at everything except for the new MacBook, and this nearly as large
'Book Review looks especially at Apple's newest notebook
computer.
In addition to lots of reviews and hands-on reports, there are
also a couple of looks at one of the MacBook's best and most
unexpected features - easy access to and swapping of the hard drive
through the battery bay. Kudos to Apple for this one!
Overall, the MacBook is receiving very positive reviews. The
unusual keyboard has acquitted itself nicely, and the glossy
display is less objectionable than originally anticipated (there's
an online petition for a matte screen option).
On the Boot Camp front, several reviewers are buying the MacBook
specifically for Windows. We hope they'll try OS X and
discover how sweet it is. dk
All prices are in US dollars unless otherwise noted.
General Apple and Mac desktop news is covered in The Mac News Review. News about Apple's
transition to Intel CPUs and other Intel developments is covered in
The Macintel Report.

In Black and White
The Sydney Morning Herald's Garry Barker looks at the case for
Apple changing its stripe.
"Black is the colour of my true love's computer - or maybe it's
going to be white. Being a woman, she is keeping her options open
and I am avoiding any utterance that might be construed as
gratuitous advice on the basis that whatever a man says, and
however remote and solitary the place in which he says it, he will
be wrong.
"But the choice is there. Just as iPods are available in black
or white so, now, are Apple notebook computers.
"With the announcement last week of the MacBook line - what I still think of
as an iBook but which now is called a MacBook because its big
brother, formerly the PowerBook, is now the MacBook Pro - the
transition to Intel is all but complete. They should be here well
before the end of the year."

MacBook: What You Need To Know
Macworld's Jonathan Seff and Jason Snell reports:
"The release of the MacBook
Pro was big news: It was Apple's first laptop with two
processing cores, the first to use Intel chips, and had the feature
set and price tag professional users are accustomed to. The new
MacBook, on the other hand,
replaces both the iBook and the 12-inch PowerBook G4 in Apple's
product line. As you might expect from a product that replaces both
a consumer and professional system, the MacBook is a fascinating
hybrid of high-end features and cost-conscious engineering. Now
that we've spent several days with these new laptops, here are some
answers to several burning MacBook questions."

What You Need To Know
MacBook Hard Drive Access Door
PowerPage's Chuck Freedman has posted some interesting photos of
the new black MacBook, specifically of the bottom battery access
panel where the RAM and hard drive access are located.
Easy access to the hard drive is, IMHO, one of the big
stories about the MacBook. cm

Beneath the MacBook Battery Bay
Macworld's Jason Snell says:
"Following up on my MacBook First Look and Cyrus Farivar's own
MacBook notes, I've discovered two hot topics of discussion that I
didn't address in detail yesterday.
"They both take place in the MacBook's battery bay. One of them
is the installation of RAM, which is a new procedure that involves
two little lever arms. The other is the MacBook's hard drive, which
actually resides in the far left corner of the battery bay! As a
result, the MacBook is probably the most easily upgradeable Mac
laptop ever.
"But perhaps it would be easier to show you what I'm talking
about. So I made a video taking you beneath the battery bay!"

Matte Display for MacBook Petition
A matte display for MacBook petition to Apple Computer was
created by and written by Anthony Hunt reads:
"To: Apple Computer
"We pledge to purchase a new MacBook if you, Apple Computer,
would be so kind as to provide the option of a matte display.
"Sincerely,
The Undersigned"
Editor's note: With a matte display, I'd probably retire my
five-year-old PowerBook G4/400.

Final Cut Studio Not Supported on MacBook
A new Apple Knowledge Base article says:
"If you have a MacBook, the Final Cut Studio (Universal)
crossgrade Installer does not prohibit you from installing the pro
applications, but this configuration does not meet the minimum
system requirements for Final Cut Studio.
"See the Final Cut Studio system requirements for complete
requirements.
"Note: The integrated graphics processor in the MacBook does not
permit float processing in Motion and will result in degraded

Ars Technica's In-depth MacBook Review
Ars Technica's Clint Ecker has posted the most thoroughgoing and
comprehensive MacBook review I've seen yet.
"On May 16, the MacBook
replaced the nearly seven-year-old iBook and brought with it a new
era of consumer-grade portables from Apple. For the first time
since the clam-shell style
iBooks were discontinued at the beginning of 2001 is an Apple
portable available in more than one color. Apple has been toying
with the idea of offering both black and white devices since the
iPod nano and subsequently the video-capable iPod, and now they've
begun offering their consumer-grade portable laptop, the
predictably named MacBook, in similar glossy black and white
models....
"As our astute readers have probably already realized, there is
scant difference between the low- and high-end models of MacBook.
Actually, the only differences are very slight variations in CPU,
optical drive, and hard disk space. This has caused several
questions to be raised about the pricing of the models, which are
US$1,099, US$1,299, and $1,499 in respect to the figure above. An
oft-bandied-about factoid is that if you were to configure the
midlevel model to ship with an 80 GB hard disk to match the
high-end model, you'd still notice that it's approximately US$150
cheaper. The only difference is the color and finish of the shell,
of course (white is glossy and the black has a matte finish).
"Obviously the demand for black Apple products is much higher
than the white products, and Apple is simply responding as most
companies would when faced by high demand for a product. People who
are set on getting that black MacBook are going to have to wrestle
with the US$150 mark-up. Apple is banking that most people will
willingly hand over even more cash to get a unique item. It sucks
for people without the extra moolah to blow, but it doesn't take
long to come to the realization that it's just a different color
and that you're going to be saving a nice chunk of change by going
with white.
"It's up to you to decide whether black is worth US$150.
"...My previous laptop before my new MacBook was a 1 GHz G4
iBook. While a trusty and dependable machine, it was slowly getting
left in the dust - feature-, and performance-wise - as Apple
charged on with its transition. The leap from an iBook to the new
MacBook is quite dramatic and I'll do my best to summarize the new
features you'll find if you plan on making the same upgrade as I
did.
"Probably the most striking, and divisive new 'feature' of the
new MacBooks is the glossy finish of the LCD....
"...In the new MacBook, installing memory is as simple as
removing the battery and unscrewing two screws. You're presented
with two dead-simple slots where you can remove and insert the
chips....
"What's cooler than easier RAM installations? Apple has made it
just as easy to remove and replace your hard drive!"
"Also new to the portable line is the use of Intel integrated
graphics subsystem. The GMA 950 chipset, first used by Apple in the
Intel Mac mini, doesn't have any dedicated memory, instead
siphoning off a fixed amount of the main memory before its
available to the operating system....
"Probably the second most striking feature of the new MacBook is
the keyboard. In doing research for this review (asking smart
people what they'd like to know about the machine), I kept getting
requests to describe how the keyboard felt, whether there were
dividers between the keys, and if your fingers got all confused
when typing on this obviously alien device.
"I'm sure everyone up till this point has been wondering about
two specific issues: is the machine still ludicrously hot and does
the machine whine like its big brother?"

MacBook 'Finally Nailed It'
CNET's Justin Jaffe says:
"Yesterday afternoon, our executive editor ran down to the Apple
store on Market Street in San Francisco and nabbed one of the first
MacBooks to be sold. (He
also witnessed an alleged thief get gang-tackled by Apple's beefy
security detail.)"
"I've been playing with the MacBook since then and have come to
a preliminary verdict: Apple may have finally nailed it. The
company has corrected a handful of the iBook's shortcomings, hit a
totally reasonable price point (at least for the $1,099 baseline
white model), and finally delivered a laptop with a 13.3-inch
display, which I believe offers a better compromise between size
and portability than any other screen size on the market. Although
plenty of laptops out there start for many hundreds of dollars less
than the MacBook, I believe that with the MacBook, the value gap
between Apple laptops and the PC competition has narrowed
significantly....
- Keyboard: This is perhaps the MacBook's most notable
feature. It looks markedly different from what we're accustomed to
with an Apple laptop. The keys have a flat top surface and are more
rounded and less jammed together than the MacBook Pro's and
PowerBook's. And with about half as much travel as other Apple
keyboards, the MacBook's keyboard offers a considerably firmer
typing experience. So far, I really like it, though I'm hesitant to
make a final pronouncement until I spend more time using it.
- Display: The MacBook's glossy display is a bit
schizophrenic. It looks really nice from straight on: bright,
crisp, and clear, and the 1,280x800 native resolution makes text
readable and still gives you enough screen real estate to have a
few windows open at once. From the side, however, the level of
brightness drops off considerably, and like all glossy displays,
the MacBook's picks up some serious glare from ambient light
sources...."

Apple MacBook (13-inch, 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo)
MacBook 'Practically Pro'
PowerPage's Bob Snow
says:
"The iBook started life as a schoolBook with a very K thru 12 look.
The large durable color toilet seat enclosure and small screen made
this machine unappealing even for higher education, let alone
business users. The second rectangular form factor for iBooks had a
much more universal appeal. The size of the 12 inch model seemed
just right and there was not nearly as much of a weight and size
penalty vs. a PowerBook. The upgrade to G4 boosted performance
without changing the packaging very much. The new MacBook broadens the appeal
considerably in terms of performance and features....
"Apple misses the boat for business and higher education users
in the dongle department. All of their laptops lack a built in
modem and VGA port. Go to a cheap motel without your dongle modem
and you may be out of luck. Better have your VGA dongle with you if
you need to make an impromptu presentation. Yet another dongle is
required for full size DVI hook up. And, do not forget your Apple
remote either."

PC Makers, My Next Notebook Is a MacBook
IT Wire's Stan Beer says:
"Whatever else you may think of Apple, it is a company that
makes top quality hardware. Now along comes MacBook, an Intel notebook made by
Apple, capable of running Windows in dual boot mode, packed with
power, with all these plug and play features built-in, and very
reasonably priced. I'm in the market for a notebook so what am I
going to do?
"I have been a long time campaigner for mandatory three-year
warranties on all PC notebooks. My last two notebooks, an HP and a
Toshiba, clapped out on me within two years. I figured I deserved
better for $2000. Judging by the mounds of Apple faithful who
assure me, I'm fairly certain that a MacBook isn't going to give up
on me within three years. Anyway, at a starting price of $1099 plus
the cost of Windows, I'm prepared to take the gamble....
"Given that I have been a DOS and Windows user for 20 years, the
fact that I am seriously considering buying a MacBook should be
ringing alarm bells and sending shivers down the collective spines
of Dell, Acer, Lenovo, HP, Toshiba and all the other PC notebook
makers....
"So the chances are that Apple is going to become a serious
player - who knows maybe in time the dominant player - in the
notebook market...."

PC Notebook User's First Thoughts on
MacBook
Notebook Review's A Baxter reports:
"This is a first thoughts review of the newly released 13.3"
Apple MacBook Core Duo
notebook. I've only had the MacBook for 24 hours, but that's
enough to offer some insight on the design and some thoughts from a
Mac OS neophyte. There's some fantastic things about this notebook,
but a major problem with heat has marred what has been otherwise
been a great experience....
"After playing around with the 2.0 GHz Core Duo black colored
MacBook on display and the 1.83 GHz white colored MacBook on
display I decided to go with the $1,099 1.83 GHz, 60 GB, 512 MB
white colored MacBook (the black is only available with the 2.0 GHz
processor and costs $1,499).
"It's going on six years now that I last used a Mac. So yes,
it's been a while....
"For the past six years I've used nothing but various Windows OS
platforms and almost exclusively used PC notebooks as my main tool
for work. I review and use a ton of PC notebooks. I also program,
mainly web and database development, all using Microsoft tools. In
other words, I'm as polar opposite Mac user as you can get, but
like many other PC users always kind of curious what I may be
missing....
"How can you argue with the look and styling of this notebook?
It's simply pleasing to the eye. The clean look, the quality
construction, the Apple logo that illuminates, the little green
lights on the Caps Lock and Num Lock key (thank you Apple), the
stylish lettering of the keys - it all adds up....
"For $1,099 I was half expecting some shortcuts in terms of
overall build quality. But there are none. This MacBook feels like
a rock, no joke....
"I was really taken aback by the keyboard, it's not at all what
I expected. The keys are actually raised and each key is completely
individual. At first look it seemed like there would be no travel
to the key, they looked short and stubby, but in fact the travel is
really good and the keyboard could rate as one of the best out
there...."

MacBook First Thoughts Review
Apple's New MacBook with Windows
PC World's Harry McCracken reports:
"Apple has released the MacBook, an Intel-based 13.3-inch
widescreen notebook which replaces both its iBook and the 12-inch
PowerBook. Tonight, I'm using one - and thanks to Boot Camp, it's
running Windows XP as well as Mac OS X. (I'm using the US$1499
black version.)
"I haven't had enough time with the machine to give any
definitive verdict on it, but so far I'm having a really good time.
The black MacBook isn't the most feature-rich model in Apple's new
Intel-based laptop line, but it's probably the coolest
. . . which makes it one of the coolest laptops on the
market, period....
"Some of the nicest things about the MacBook don't relate to
specs per se. This black version's matte case is extremely
good-looking; it's plastic, unlike the aluminum housing on my
PowerBook, but if anything, it's classier and more professional
looking . . . I don't think businessfolks who trade in a
12-inch PowerBook for a black
MacBook will feel like they're slumming, even if the MacBook is a
mere 'consumer model.'
"At first blush, the keyboard looks weird - I had flashbacks to
the one on Texas Instruments' ancient 99/4. The keys aren't
sculpted, and there's what looks like a lot of space between them,
but so far, the keyboard doesn't feel weird in the least."
"Oh, and a random side note on the Mac vs. Windows wars. One of
the nice things about the Windows install on this MacBook is that
it's unadorned by the irritating applets, marketing pitches, and
icon clutter that dog most big-name Windows PCs (and which Apple
doesn't burden you with when you buy a Mac)...."

MacBook 'a Fantastic Deal'
CreativeMac's Dave Nagel says:
"On only two occasions have I rushed out and purchased a Mac on
the day of its debut. The first was my dual 2.0 GHz G5. That was a
few years back, and that machine is still going strong as a viable
creative workstation. The second occasion was yesterday when Apple
introduced the new 13-inch
MacBooks. This time around, I bought two.
"Why?
"Apple's brand new MacBook appears to be not only a great deal
for a Mac, but a great deal even when compared with somewhat
comparable, cheap PC hardware....
"That said, I don't want to confuse you into thinking the
MacBook is a half-price MacBook
Pro. It does share many of the great features of the MacBook
Pro, but it's also limited in some important ways for people
considering using a laptop for professional production - the most
notable limitation being, of course, graphics performance. The
MacBook Pro has an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256 MB RAM,
whereas the new, lower-end MacBook non-pro just has some Intel junk
with shared memory. There's a big difference in performance there,
especially on the 3D side.
"But all told, the new MacBook is a fantastic deal with plenty
of processor performance, even if the graphics are a bit
unimpressive. And it has plenty of other goodies to draw you in as
well."

MacBook 'a Very Nice Laptop'
blogcritics.org's Raoul Pop reports:
"I visited the Apple Store over the weekend and took a look at
the new MacBook (the iBook
replacement). Apple has outsourced the production of this laptop to
Asus, but it's definitely still an Apple. It was supposed to arrive
in June, so it has arrived ahead of schedule.
"The overall impression is that it's a very nice laptop, and a
welcome successor to the iBook, whose design I thought was in need
of improvement. The MacBook is thin, glossy, and beautiful. The
design is very similar to the MacBook Pro, except that the case is
plastic, not aluminum....
"The white MacBook's inside finish is a little grainier than
that of the black MacBook. Having never owned a white iBook before,
I wondered what grime from everyday use would do to the keyboard
and the white finish. I can say that my white iMac keyboard has
stood the test of time well so far (since last September, at any
rate.) I can also say that I could see grease from people's hands
on the black MacBook in the store. The grease didn't show on the
white MacBook, but there was a bit of grime. I guess you can take
your pick: grease or grime....
"The wide screen is beautiful. I know people are used to the
matte screens, but either finish is fine with me. What I look for
in a screen is brightness, high resolution, a wide aspect ratio,
and wide reading angles, and the MacBook has all those."

Tom Bihn Archetype Laptop Cases
PR: A blend of engineering and art, the Archetype
provides superior protection for your laptop and is certain to
inspire more than a second glance.
It's a sleek, minimalist, and protective laptop sleeve with
comfortable handles. But such simplicity is not attained with ease:
Tom Bihn has spent countless hours over the course of more than a
decade refining the design elements that you see today as the
Archetype.
Designed initially in four sizes to fit the 13" MacBook, 17" MacBook Pro, 15.4" MacBook Pro, and 12" PowerBook, the Archetype is made to
order by highly skilled seamstresses in the Tom Bihn Seattle,
Washington production factory, where all Tom Bihn bags are
made.
The Archetype is available in three unique and rich fabrics that
are evocative of the elements: Genuine Cork, Galvanized Majilite,
and Snow Leopard Ultrasuede.
The Archetype in its various fabrics may represent the elements,
but it also keeps them out; the case features splash-proof YKK
Uretek zippers, tried and tested in the weather of the Pacific
Northwest.
Featuring 0.25" (8mm) thick closed cell foam, the Archetype
entirely encases your laptop, padding it on all sides and
protecting it from bumps and scrapes; this unique construction also
completely protects your laptop from the zipper closure. The
interior is lined a soft tricot knit that protects your laptop from
scratches.
It closes with a #8YKK Uretech® "splash-proof" zipper -
while not "waterproof", the Archetype is our most weather-resistant
case. It unzips completely to allow you to work on your laptop
without removing it from the Archetype (Are you wondering about
heat buildup? See our F.A.Q.) The Archetype carries with
comfortable soft plastic handles molded over strong webbing.
The Archetype is lined with a soft brushed tricot knit, cradling
your laptop and protecting it from being scratched.
Inside, the Archetype is practical and protective. It's outside
that things get interesting: the Archetype is available in three
unique exterior fabrics evocative of nature and the material world:
Genuine Cork fabric (made of real cork), Galvanized Majilite®
(a durable synthetic leather made to look like galvanized steel),
and Snow Leopard Ultrasuede® (contains no leopards, we
promise.)
If black ballistic nylon is more your style, then you'll
have to look elsewhere: this case talks style as much as
function.
- Available in these exterior fabrics: Genuine Cork Fabric,
Galvanized Majilite®, and Snow Leopard Ultrasuede®
- #8YKK Uretech® "splash-proof" zipper; comfortable molded
plastic handles
- Cradles your PowerBook or MacBook in .25" (8mm) dense,
closed-cell foam and a super-soft interior
- Available in sizes for the 17" and 15.4" MacBook Pro and 12"
PowerBook.
- Weight: 10 oz.
