Thanks to Ars Technica we can bring you a review of the product that caused the biggest stir this week – the new MacBook. Well to sum it up they’re rather glowing in their praise for this beauty. Although for all their laptop innovations Apple doesn’t seem to have managed to figure out how to keep these Dual Cores cool, so like the MacBook Pro your going to struggle to sit this thing on your lap. Also, in Notebook Review’s first impressions writeup of the MacBook they encountered serious instability from heat, making the laptop almost unusable. The only other serious problems Ars had with the MacBook were the relatively slow integrated graphics - even though they were able to run more casual gaming titles just fine in OS X and Windows XP. Ohh and if you are stupid enough to pay an extra $200 just to have a black one – then don’t come crying to us when it peals – it’s what you get for having more money than sense in the first place. Otherwise, the laptop looks like quite the deal and a decent performer. The iSight, MagSafe and Front Row aren’t anything different from the MacBook Pro, which is to their credit. In benchmarks the MacBook performs much closer to the MacBook Pro than its iBook predecessor, and its easy expandability and multitude of pro-ish features make it a laptop that Widgx can easily recommend!
