Ars Technica Reviews the MacBook
phaedo00 writes "Ars Technica has performed another of their in-depth and thorough hardware reviews. The subject in this review is the newly released MacBook. From the article: 'The Apple portable web site proudly announces that the "family is finally complete." What began with an announcement from Steve Jobs at the MacWorld conference in January has come full circle with the release of the MacBook this week. Every Apple laptop is Intel powered and moving in what I would consider is the right direction. The laptop line is finally better delineated by pro and consumer features, and the prices have been fixed at points that better reflect the minute differences in the models.'"

Double Big Mac.
Heh - it's classic. See Weird Al's "It's all about the Pentiums" for an example :D
"My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks
But it was obsolete before I opened the box
You say you've had your desktop for over a week?
Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique! "
It's just a fact of life.

An operating system should be like a light switch... simple, effective, easy to use, and designed for everyone.
"laptop" does not appear once in the MacBook's manual."
The term "laptop" went away after the first guy burnt his dick on one.
Then they called them "notebooks".
I'm not sure I follow you...
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
I find it funny when people spend time reading through all the /. comments of each story ... but never read the story itself. It boggles the mind, it does.
Yeah, I picked up a few after I ran out of internal monitor bays in my case. They're more convenient, yeah, but usually more expensive than their internal counterparts.
