Which one do you have? I recently was sent a MacBook by one of the affiliate networks I work with. It's just the white 13in $999 one, but it was free so I'm not complaining. I like it
Macbooks are generally not cost-effective. You are generally paying a huge premium to have an Apple product.
Macs are not the best laptops at all, they are in a dull gray area. the area between able to takes notes and browse the web, and play high end games. They fall in between there with not enough power to do anything worth paying the price for. It is ridiculous how many people love their macbooks when they are twice the price as a comparable windows laptop. O lemme go edit video on the go with my macbook, umm no.
I have a view in the middle. Mac OSx is MUCH better than windows, but Apple computer hardware is overpriced. I have a black macbook at the moment. Nice machine, terrible fan noise. Thats why my next machine will be a Hackintosh!
