Detailed review
I grew up as a PC girl. I've been gaming and typing on computers since I could walk, or so it seems. I have fond memories of some old clunkers. The 13 inch MacBook is far from those old heavy laptops that I have in mind.

I switched to Mac after falling in love with the multi-touch keypad. It is the biggest that I have ever seen on any keyboard. In this case bigger does equals better. I don't need my hand getting cramped from trying to use a microscopic mouse device. This one is a perfect size and easy to use. The touchpad makes navigating the internet and other software easy. Oh and I must mentioned the right clicking feature is great. I am glad that Apple finally jumped on the boat with this one.

The indented keyboard is not only beautiful, but quiet and easy to type on. Speaking of quiet, the laptop itself barely makes a sound. It is well ventilated and the fans keep it cool.

I am using Time Machine with a 1.4TB external drive at it works really well. I don't have to worry about losing my data. I also use a wireless printer that has no problem working with Macs.

Of course nothing is perfect. It was locking up a bit more frequently than I would have liked, but I recently added 4GB of Ram to the machine and it has been running great ever since the upgrade.
