Here and There

I was sold on the MacBook just reading about it’s powerful new Intel processor and noting its very un-Apple pricetag of $1,099. I don’t really care that you can now run Windows on Apple’s Intel-equipped computers, but it does sweeten the deal ever so slightly.

The one reason I just had to see the machine is, in my mind, the biggest difference between it and the iBook it ostensibly replaces: the MacBook sports a 13-inch “glossy” screen. I found the screen slightly annoyingly reflective of the store’s track lighting, imagining all the settings I’d be using it in that would have lights of any kind. The technology that drives the screens of iBooks isn’t nearly as reflective. That could be a problem, but I don’t see it being a huge one. My advice: buy this computer.
