New Apple Notebooks
So Apple has redesigned its notebooks. I think they are great, but they are getting a lot of criticism from the Mac community over the glossy screen. The glossy causes a lot of glare and is harder to see outside. Another problem with the Macbooks is the lack of a Firewire port. If you don’t use any firewire devices like a video camera or a external harddrive, it’s no big deal, but it is still quite annoying. I would not be able to hook up my sister’s video camera and copy the video to a DVD in this case.
It now comes with a backlit keyboard, which is nice in the dark. I always have a hard time hitting those F keys when its dark. They have a upgraded graphics card, which is nice. The graphics on the old Macbook was no better than any other manufacturer’s integrated graphics.
I think Apple took a step in the right direction, but there are no doubt lots of people who disagree.
