I really like Apple MacBook computers. What’s not to like? They’re beautiful to look at and wonderful to work on. They run on Apple OS X and also let you use Windows XP. They’re well designed, fast and sleek. That’s what I wrote six months ago, when I was lucky enough to get to test what was then a brand new black MacBook.

So when Apple asked me if I’d like to try their new MacBook model — this time with an Intel Core 2 processor and a built-in iSight video camera — I figured why not? The additions could only make for a better computing experience.

I was right.

Apple’s MacBook is their most portable and least expensive laptop. It comes in three configurations: the 1.83GHz model (512 MB memory, 60 GB hard drive, $1,099), the 2.0GHz (1 GB memory, 80 GB drive, $1,299) and the top-of-the-line, 2.0 GHz (1 GB memory, 120 GB drive, $1,499). The two lower-end models are white, while the top-of-the-line MacBook is sleek and black.
