Gigi Agostini 1 February 2007
Good: I can run every kind of OS on it, all features included, including software for any kind of use
Bad: Cannot replace the CPU for a further upgrade
Comment: This is a pefect machine, strong, thin, light, fast.

Good: Thin, gorgeous, light, runs Mac OS X and Windows
Bad: What's not to like?
Comment: I think this is a great machine - it's not as pricey as CNET makes out. Run Mac OS X - which is better than Windows, or run poor old Windows if you must. Best of both worlds! What PC laptop comes with a built-in web cam? Apple's Front Row might not offer all the power of Windows Media Centre, but it works very well and you can add the additional functionality with a simple USB TV tuner.

Good: Speed, ease of use, looks, screen size, low weight, ability to run Windows
Bad: Can't think of anything I don't like
Comment: If you need a portable replacement for a desktop, I cannot think of a better machine than this.
Our finance director's 17" Wintel laptop looks like a paving slab compared to the Mac's ceramic tile!
