MacBook 2.4GHz

Apple’s updated MacBook lines feature an all-aluminium body, improved graphics capability and a touchpad that does away with a conventional mouse button – the entire trackpad is one massive clickable button.
Pros: The new MacBooks run a fair bit faster than the older ones – no great surprise – and the new design is highly eye-catching. The one-button trackpad is large and surprisingly easy to learn how to use, including new gestures that quickly minimise all applications or switch between them.
Cons: At the same time Apple updated the line, prices also went up alarmingly. I’ve tested the top of the range model, but even the entry-level aluminium MacBooks are now up by around $400.
Rating: 3/5 – A great notebook but less affordable than it used to be.
