Criteria Comments Rating
  • Speed and features Has a dedicated GPU, and I have a SSD. Very quick computer, even though it's a year behind the curve. (Still has a Core 2 Duo). good
  • Design and form factor Apple is great at industrial design. Computer is gorgeous. great!
  • Battery life Not amazing, but not underwhelming either. 6-7 hours of Word Processing with WiFi on. good
  • Display Display is *okay*. Nothing to write home about, but better than other. Colors looks really nice. good
  • Durability Seems to attract scratches, dust and dings. so-so
  • Expandability The only thing you can really do is add/remove RAM or the HD. so-so
  • Noise Barely any. great!
  • Portability (size / weight) A little heavy. good
Detailed review
A good, solid computer. A little heavy for carrying everyday, but them's the breaks. I enjoy the computer, it's a good little powerhouse, and it's saved me in many tight situations. Would I recommend it over a ThinkPad? I'd have to think about that one...
