Size, weight, materials
At
2.36kg, the MacBook weighs about 225g more than the 12in. PowerBook;
it's totally portable, though not exactly lightweight. It measures
32.5cm wide by 22.7cm deep by 2.75cm high. We'll get into more detail
about the keyboard and display below; suffice to say that the MacBook
hits the sweet spot between portability and usability — much like
Sony's new VAIO SZ, another 13.3in. notebook. The MacBook is glossy on
the outside and matte on the inside; it feels sturdily built and quite
well put together.

Latchless lid
Apple
is getting a lot of design mileage out of magnetic attraction. The
MacBook does without a physical latch, instead, using magnets to hold
the lid closed. Like the MagSafe AC adapter, it's a perfect solution. A
small notch on the front edge affords just enough room for your finger,
and the lid and case separate very nicely.

Keyboard
This
is perhaps the MacBook's most notable feature. It looks markedly
different from what we're accustomed to with an Apple notebook. 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, we really like it,
though we're hesitant to make a final pronouncement until we've spent
more time using it.

Touch pad
Yes,
there's still only one mouse button. Apple seems to be overcompensating
for it, too, because the touch pad is simply huge — about the size of
a Treo — and considerably bigger than the 15in. MacBook Pro's. It
still features all of the same magical two-finger scrolling
functionality that we've seen from the others, though.

Display
The
MacBook's glossy display is a bit schizophrenic. It looks really nice
from straight on: bright, crisp and clear, while the 1,280 by 800
native resolution makes text readable and still gives you enough screen
space 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. If you work primarily in a dimly lit, cave-style office,
you'll love it; if you spend a lot of time working outside, the glare
may be too distracting. The MacBook's display delivered 230cd/m² on our
Minolta luminance meter, compared to about 260cd/m² on the 15in.
MacBook Pro. Both are considerably above the average for notebooks.

Audio
Like
the 12in. PowerBook, the MacBook's speakers sit along the back edge
underneath the screen hinge (when the lid is open) and somehow still
deliver rich, multilayered sound. It's not particularly loud or
powerful on the low end, but it's crisp, clear and totally decent.

Ports and connections
This
is a rock-solid lineup for the price. On the plus side, you get an
optical output, which the iBook lacked and which is a high-end feature
for a £749 laptop. On the downside, the combined DVI/VGA output
requires an adapter (sold separately) and there's no ExpressCard slot,
which narrows the MacBook's opportunities for future TV tuner and
wireless WAN connectivity. Here's where the ports and connections are
located:

• Left edge: MagSafe AC connector, DVI/VGA output,
  one 400Mbps FireWire port, two USB 2.0 ports, optical output, headphone
  jack, security cable slot
• Front: battery indicator, infrared sensor (for the included remote)
• Right edge: slot-loading multi-format DVD burner
• Networking: 802.11g wireless, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (modem not included)

Other notable features
On
top of everything else, you get Apple's best-of-breed software package,
which includes almost everything that comes with the higher-end MacBook
Pro; a built-in iSight Webcam for videoconferencing; and a small, iPod
Shuffle-looking remote for controlling iTunes, DVDs, photos and videos
from afar.
