The 1280x800 display is wider (and brighter), and the computer itself is wider and thinner.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nWhat I didn&rsquo;t expect: There&rsquo;s no Core Solo model for $999. It&rsquo;s 0.3 pounds heavier than the 12-inch iBook and 0.6 pounds heaver than the 12-inch PowerBook. When configured identically, it costs $150 extra to get the black. [Update: And, apparently, there&rsquo;s no microphone. Weird. Update 2: Unlike the G4 iBook and PowerBook, the MacBook and MacBook Pro have power adapters with different wattages.] Some people are grumbling that at about 1.6 inches wider than the iBook it&rsquo;s too large (even though the other two dimensions are smaller), but I think it&rsquo;s a reasonable trade for the additional pixels. Overall, a great machine, especially for students. I would&rsquo;t be surprised if Apple can&rsquo;t meet demand for these things.\r\n<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given Apple&rsquo;s recent hardware updates, the MacBook is pretty much what you&rsquo;d expect.
