MacBook Earns CNET Editors' Choice Award
Friday, November 17, 2006 - 7:54 AM EST
CNET has posted a review of the new 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook. According to the CNET editors, "Now that the high-end MacBook Pro has Intel's Core 2 Duo CPU, it's high time the latest processor technology filtered down to Apple's more consumer-friendly MacBook line. There are three MacBook models, one with a 1.83GHz CPU and two with 2.0GHz CPUs. The MacBook starts at a mere $1,099, but our review unit is the most tricked-out of the three, offering the faster CPU and a larger hard drive for a still palatable $1,499. These 13.3-inch notebooks, available in the standard Apple colors of black and white, are nearly as powerful as their 15- and 17-inch Pro cousins, and they include a lot of the same features, such as the built-in iSight camera and Front Row remote. If the handful of compromises vs. the Pro model, such as the screen size and the lack of discrete graphics,
isn't a deal breaker, the MacBook is a no-brainer for anyone who wants to step up to an Apple laptop or upgrade their older MacBook."
The 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook received a score of 8.1 (Excellent) out of 10. It also earned the coveted Editors' Choice award from CNET.
