This is my first mac and I love it. I like that it's the original white shell, it's not hard to keep clean with monitor wipes. Picks up great wireless, has plenty of room for staying organized within the desktop with 'spaces' and 'stacks'. Enjoy if you buy it!
AMAZING December 11, 2008

I bought this computer 2 years ago, and since then, I haven't had any problems. It is surprisingly hardy, I have dropped it many many times, and yet, only a tiny piece of plastic chipped off, which i easily fixed with glue. My sister also bought one after I was so satisfied, and it is amazing how easy to use these are. My grandmother now knows how to use my macbook!
 Do not waste your time on Apple - all marketing!!! December 8, 2008

Man does Apple do a great job marketing! I purchased this due to my son wanting to use this for school and college next year. We got it and he played around with it for a few weeks and then he was using his windows laptop and PC???
So I get it and use it for about 2 weeks. What a joke! Overpriced hardware and software that works with nothing else. For my work I have certain pieces of software that require windows. OK so run Windows under the Mac OS and/or dual boot. I did both and ended up working in windows for most of the time!
So tell me why I overpaid for average hardware (I do not like the macbook keyboard layout at all) and then ended up running Windows XP on it most of the time? Either needed software that was Windows only (blame my vendors that I work with) or needing Internet Explorer for my company and vendor's web sites to work properly.
Unless you just want to surf the internet and write a few documents then skip the hype. Also try enjoy trading files between the two OS's (must share via a FAT32 partition) or use some other tool. I do not have one vender that uses Macs and maybe 1 client. So if you like to think you are really smart and be on a differnet platform than most other people then get this. Or save your money and run Linux on standard HW.
Windows is not perfect, but neither is Apple and I will never make this mistake again. I sold this about 9 weeks after I bought it and am very happy it is gone.
Apple Hasn't Addressed Wireless Problem With This Laptop December 5, 2008

My husband and I have been devoted Mac users for years and have owned at least 8 Apple computers and several Apple peripherals. Quite frankly I didn't think we would be writing any adverse review for any Apple product. But here I am doing just that and simply stated I would recommend that any of you considering this MacBook and who also rely heavily on wireless connectivity for your laptop to delay your purchase indefinitely until Apple has resolved an inherent wireless connectivity problem with OS 10.5.5.
I use this MacBook as my kitchen work station and rely completely on our wireless LAN (Apple Airport) as I have no ethernet port in the kitchen area of our house. I am now experiencing numerous drop outs of both my internet connection and my LAN and this started after upgrading to Apple's OS 10.5.5 which appears to be the version that now comes installed on this laptop.
In reviewing numerous posts on Apple's "support" web-site it is clear that a significant population of other users of this same MacBook have the identical wireless connectivity problem with OS 10.5.5 and have been asking, pleading for help from Apple, e.g., that Apple fix their faulty software as in put it back through a full SQT. What we seem to have received is a Beta version they foisted on their customer base for debugging. I have yet to find anything on Apple's web-site offered by Apple that remotely addresses this problem.
Although otherwise this MacBook is an excellent performer, in this day and age there is an absolute need for reliable laptop wireless connectivity. Therefore we are very disappointed in this product's wireless performance as well as Apple's apparent lack of concern for their loyal customer base. After all, what good is a laptop with random wireless connectivity? One day of this failure mode is one day too many and It is doubtful we will purchase another Apple computer until our confidence in their quality and customer responsiveness is restored. At the very least Apple should issue a statement admitting to the problem, indicating they are attempting to resolve the problem and specify a planned date for its resolution.
In the meantime buyer BEWARE of the Apple MacBook MB404LL/A 13.3-inch Laptop (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive) Black which is an expensive laptop that offers worthless wireless performance!!
