Apple MacBook

Paper Summary:

This paper describes the very thin and lightweight Apple MacBook laptop, and lists the prices for different sizes. The writer discusses the pros and cons of the Macbook, as noted by its reviewers, and some of the features that distinguish it from previous Macs. One feature that it lacks is a DVD drive, which has led to some criticism, but it has not slowed down its sales. The paper concludes with a brief note on the MacBook's target clientele.

From the Paper:

"What are the computer experts saying - the geeks, the wired crowd - those who review new and improved technologies? Justin Jaffe and Michelle Thatcher, writing in CNet.com, among the respected technology publications, suggest that the "good" part of the MacBook is that it is "thin and light" (Jaffe, et al, 2006) and features a "robust software package," which includes Mac OS X Tiger. The DVD burner and built-in Webcam, the magnetic lid latch and scrollable touch pad, and the fact that the MacBook can run Windows XP (utilizing Apple's free Boot Camp utility), are all positives according to Jaffe and Thatcher."
