hey guys jon rettinger here it's been about six months since i've had my macbook unibody aluminum model i wanted to give you an updated review so it's been just about six months since i've had the unibody macbook it's 2.4 gigahertz configuration and overall i've been very very very happy with it my enthusiasm hasn't waived since i first bought it but things aren't as rosy as they were on day one so let me fill you in first off to my boot up time has slowed drastically i went from the maybe 10 to 15 that I had when I first got it now it takes it good probably 45 seconds almost a minute to fully boot up and be ready to use it's not that big a deal but is something that's very noticeable and I think it's probably a fault with OS 10 leopard and it's file management system then it is the computer itself don't like something to keep in mind hopefully they upgrade to snow leopard and in the next few months we'll fix those issues when it boots up at this day on the blue screen for quite a while so the new things that came out with the unibody macbook the keyboard and trackpad the backlit keyboard I thought that I was going to use a lot knows the reason that I got the 2.4 gigahertz but as it turns out i'm really not using the back like that much i'm taking notes in class but you know usually it's it's light enough and i'm not even utilized the back way back most the time I turned off to save battery so the new trackpad I was really excited about the new trackpad I thought there was a lot of room I was really looking forward to using the gestures as it turns out most of the time now I use an external mouse I found the clicking on the trackpad about the button to be a little bit cumbersome and not necessarily zakir as i would have liked if you don't click towards the bottom it doesn't work sometimes cooking with two fingers doesn't always respond properly so using external mouse has really been my solution that being said i love the gestures on the trackpad i use a four fingers for expose and show desktop all the time I think those are absolutely fantastic I look forward to more utilization of the trackpad multi capabilities kind of as we progress another thing I still love about the computer is i love the weight and i love the size i'm able to throw into my backpack and really not worried about being weighed down or having sideways shoulder from all the weight from it it really is very very nice and very light easy I've carried it everywhere for two quarters of school now two chords your graduate school and I haven't had you know any issues with dings or scratches it has been very very very durable I could keep it in a neoprene case but it looks just as good as it did on day one also the glossy screen I've actually been enjoying I've always been a fan of glossy screen so that wasn't surprising but glare firstly overhead glittering an elector behind you shooting drop around the computer it's not been as bad as those people have said it actually found it to be extremely usable so if the glossy versus non glossy screen is the issue for you hopefully this will help offset some of your concerns the computer is still as fast as it was my first god as far as processing and multitasking really is a very quick machine and OS 10 really makes use of the tube gigs built-in ddr3 RAM very nicely it's really quite enough also I dual-boot using bootcamp with windows vista for some school related programs and this day as i showed my benchmark actually runs very smoothly and really quickly actually runs much faster than some of my classmates fully loaded Dell's that's with 4 gigabytes of ram and even some with solid state drives it's really gotta give credit to Apple for building a great machine for OS 10 I also a great machine for running Windows if that's what you needed to do so I'm again I've been really happy with its performance overall I couldn't have asked for more but I need my windows I have it when I need my Mac cookies most of the time I have that too I have not installed parallels or vmware fusion on it or any other virtualization software so i can't speak for the speed of virtualization on the machine but having only two gigabytes of ram i assume that the will be as fast as native booting and probably have a little bit of slow down due to ram kishan's something to keep in mind do I regret my purchase absolutely not I'm thrilled that I got it I probably would have just bought the slower version said ago after the 2.4 but live and learn I don't think that point to difference is really that big a deal and the backlit keyboard what I thought I needed turns out I didn't need it that badly so I'm going to keep in mind if you're looking to buy a new macbook alright guys so I don't give me real quick overview I love the computer i'm thrilled with it i think if you make the decision to go for the macbook you'll be happy to the last point that i want to talk about real quickly is graphics and HD and 3d graphics with the new nvidia integrated chipset that's actually far exceeded my expectations as far as integrated graphics card goes I think it's absolutely fantastic i can watch HD video without hiccup or slow down which is really nice and they've been done some 3d rendering just some tests on it and actually has been very impressive computer doesn't get that hot as well as i mentioned in the review just really nice just in the upper left hand corner on the bottom of the processor it is rather than you can keep it on your lap and not worry about frying off your business so and you guys just a real quick update hope you enjoyed you leave some comments down below and tell people what your experience is a star with the computer and whatnot you're enjoying yours or not and
