Additional MacBook features and impressions!

To be honest with you we really like Apple’s overall package and feel Apple laptops are pretty darn sweet no matter how you view them! We are impressed with not only the MacBook, but the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air build quality and feature set.


Like usual new Apple laptops have very vivid screens. And in fact the MacBook Air even uses LED backlights which are more power efficient among other things.


While LED backlights are not completely new in the world of screens it is nevertheless newer tech and respectively a welcoming addition.


Their built-in iSight webcam is also a standard feature on Apple laptops. Even today most PC laptops do not include a built-in webcam. Of course you still must remember there is and always has been a price premium with Mac laptops so you’d hope to have one standard, right? We think so too.


Price wise however Apple laptops seem to be coming down also but even so they are still more expensive than the average PC laptop as we just mentioned.


But if you happen to have a Windows disc lying around Boot Camp will literally allow your Apple laptop to transform into two with the click of a mouse. How is that for a bargain? Pretty cool we agree.


In our opinion the price premium for many of you is in fact going to be worth it over the typical Windows PC laptop, even if you don’t use Boot Camp. But add Boot Camp to the mix and you have a notebook that is more compatible and capable than ever.


We also like the fact that Apple laptops have full featured software packages on top of the awesome Leopard operating system and everything else we just mentioned.


You are going to get their Safari web browser, a mail app to mange your emails, address book and iCal, Time Machine for file backups, iChat for video messaging with friends and family, and Boot Camp as we mentioned earlier among other things. Not bad, not bad at all!
