Arguably the Best Designed Laptop Out There
1. Ease of use - When I bought the MacBook, i had never touched a Mac before. Ever. I opened up the box and braced myself for the steep learning curve I expected from a completely foreign operating system. Learning to use the MacBook comfortably took about five minutes.2. It's really light. I can put it in a backpack or a briefcase and walk around with it. Very easily. Some of my friends have IBM Thinkpads, which are like a MacBook that doesn't work glued to a biology textbook.
3. Battery life - My favorite coffee shop has no outlets, but my MacBook lets me sit there and work for hours. It's great.
4. Preloaded software - it comes with everything except PowerPoint. Need to watch movies on the MacBook? It already has the program. Need to manage photos on the MacBook? It already has a program. Need to edit and produce a feature length DVD with all original soundtrack recorded in your garage, burn the whole thing to DVD, design nice cover art for it, and put up a professional quality website to promote the movie? The MacBook already has the program(s)
5. The F9 key. On Mac, if you press F9, all of the windows separate and shink, so that you can see them all and pick the one you need. F10 does the same thing, but only effects windows that are associated with the current application, and F11 hides everything so you can get to the desktop.
6. The mouse - The mouse on a MacBook is great. It's responsive, and best of all, if you touch it in any two places and move your fingers, you can scroll in any direction.
7. It's fast. Most consumer level laptops are painfully slow, like old lady crossing the street in front of your car when you're already late for work slow, or like the president writing a speech on foreign policy slow. The MacBook is fast. Like the Energizer Bunny on crystal meth.
8. It's reliable - I've had it for over a year, and it HAS NEVER CRASHED. period. not once. I can seldom get through a day without my windows computer crashing, or at least needing to be restarted.
- F9 - the best key ever
- Two fingers for four-way scrolling
- It already has all the software on it.

All so true, I have a 2009 Macbook Pro and I love it. Before that I had a 13 inch black Macbook and loved that too. Even after 3 yrs of use I found myself still looking at the Macbook in awe and finding new reasons to love it. Now with my Macbook Pro, which I've had for 6 months, I'm still discovering more reasons to love it. From the design to the OS X stability, there is very little not to like about Mac. Let the haters hate, but Mac OS X couple with stunning design and good hardware beat a hobbled together PC that runs like garbage within a month.

It's so true! I am a student and I had to use my roommate's dell a couple days ago cause my printer was out of ink. It just felt so different and so much more difficult to use. I have the newest Macbook pro (the 13 inch with backlit keyboard). I've loved it since the day I got it. Yes, it cost more than a PC, but there's no doubt it was worth it.

I could not agree more!
I am a student using my computer for a great variety of things. I have been a hardcore Debian user for a few years but the lack of proper edge cutting software took me back to Windows. The macbook is great; it looks good, the os is incredible fast and if I haven't finished my paper while working in the train I just close it, get my bike to take me to the University, open it again and it just resumes whatever it was doing.
Really love it, on all domains; design, productivity, responsiveness, weight, durability. I also use it often for developing JSF applications using Netbeans and MySQL. This does not seem to cost the macbook any effort.
Have used it for over a year now and still no crash or a single error in Apple's design that I could discover.
Wish I'd bought one earlier....

I love my Macbook too! I switched from PC this month and feel alive for the first time in a long time! Dual boot, Intel Chip, Parallels, Fusion, XP and Vista running in VM ware while everything important is running under the rock solid bsd platform!!!! oh my, what took me so long??? I put my IBM Thinkpad on the shelf and haven't even looked at it. I'm so happy with my Macbook. yay!
