Strengths: White makes the laptop look angelic, excellent config and performance

Weaknesses: Frightening sticker shock ensured! Screen size a tad small.

How come Apple comes up with laptops with such top-of-the-line features which tend to make users (like me) sit up and take notice? The new Apple Mac Book MB403X is designed to draw attention and that is very apparent from the lovely pristine white tones of the entire laptop. Not one to do things in small measures, Apple Mac Book is geared with all the possible features you could want for in a laptop and it comes as no surprise that there is amazing computing power under the hood.

The only thing which puts me off a bit in the MB403X is the fact that it does not have a very large screen. That acts as a very small deterrent when considering the Mac Book as a personal laptop. Other than that, almost all features of the Mac Book are built to delight users and the multimedia capabilities of the Mac Book are quite delightful. Do keep in mind that you would get used to the Apple OS as the Mac Book is not the same as a PC even though you can get simulators if you want.

This brings us to the pricing of the laptop and this is a point where we take the biggest hit. The Mac Book MB403X is not cheap. In fact, it is hideously expensive making it one of the most coveted-but-not-purchased laptops in recent times. If only Apple brings down the price a bit will more users are able to enjoy the speedy processor of the Mac Book. The laptop looses out on specific comparison such as screen size, HDD size (as compared to others giving close to 200 GB for 1/3rd the price!) and not to forget the 13.3 inch screen!
