...Background of the Apple MacBook. Apple computer was born on the first of April 1976; Steven Wozniak and Steven Jobs established the company. It was not until 1977 that the company really took of with the release of the Apple II at a local computer trade show, it was an impressive machine in many ways, it was the first personal computer to come in a plastic case, and had colour graphics, huge requests and orders were made after this introduction and when apple released the easiest to use floppy disk drive at the time, the Apple Disk II; Apples sales improved further.

Things are done slightly differently on OSX and can be confusing at first, but persevere and things suddenly fall into place. When they do, you suddenly find yourself thinking "why can't Windows do it like that?". But I digress, this review is about the computer itself rather than the software. Following... Read review
