"The MacBook replaces a long, proud line of iBook laptops that have traditionally served students and consumer-level Mac users; the iBook being the ideal budget portable that upheld the integrity of Apple's hardware and software architectures. And though it is a direct replacement of the well-loved and iconic iBook and an indirect replacement of the 12" G4 PowerBook, the MacBook effectively defies it's own ancestry and surpasses all anticipated performance levels for a sub-14" laptop. It has even outclassed the MacBook Pro on more than one occasion."

"The MacBook is ideal in so many ways.  It is light, slim, fast and capable of so much computing power that I find myself NOT wondering when I should trade up.  The physical design is impressive and ergonomically wonderful.  The screen is beautiful and delivers sharp, vibrant and life-like images.  The keyboard is a pleasure to use.  The internal architecture, except for GPU, is nearly identical to the MacBook Pro, which means that it is as fast a computer as the much more expensive Pro variant."
