Apple MacBook
Verdict
A new design, good battery life and a fantastic new graphics chip, but it remains flawed and overpriced.
Review Date: 27 Oct 2008
Price when reviewed: (£1,149 inc VAT)
Overall Rating

But the biggest problem, as always, is the staggering £978 price tag. Dell's XPS M1330 is the same size and offers similar power and features for nearly £300 less - and that's inclusive of the price of Windows.
The design is nice, but it's not worth that much. The Nvidia graphics chip is interesting but we'd advise keeping your wallet in your pocket until it appears in a more reasonably priced Windows laptop.
