On the weight end, it doesn't match it. Sure it has a bigger screen than the 12", but the old 12 inchers were heavier than they needed to be. <BR/><BR/>If this isn't convincing, compare the MacBook with other 13" laptops and you'll see it is extraordinarily heavy for a laptop its size. If you compare it to the last 13" iBook - it's a third of a pound *heavier*. What's up with that? Shouldn't these be getting lighter? Now compare it with Windoze laptops in its size range. The MacBook comes out 1-2 pounds heavier. I think that's ridiculous. <BR/><BR/>I think if you want an inexpensive Mac laptop with Intel Inside - the MacBook is fine. But if you want a small, light laptop you can carry to work/school everyday - there aren't any Mac options, and likely won't be.umijinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16081042598887322660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24307137.post-1147811971360787752006-05-17T05:39:00.000+09:002006-05-17T05:39:00.000+09:00Weighs slightly more then the 13" G4 iBook, eh?
