Apple MacBook - Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard



Product Summary

The good: Upgraded CPU for the same price; same great design; Leopard operating system.

The bad: Still no Express card or SD card slots; only more expensive models are available in black.

The bottom line: Apple has been content to issue minor periodic hardware updates to the 13-inch MacBook, but the modest performance gains and new Leopard OS keep it in our top tier of laptop recommendations.

Price range: $1,376.60 - $1,494.00
