![]() Demanding, current games, however, run without jerkiness (if then) only on minimum details and resolution. In the test we looked closer at several Windows games and have obtained the following results: Particularly in comparison to the integrated Intel graphics cards which were even used last year, the 9400M can score points. Thanks to the GeForce 9400M (G) graphics you can also assign a minor ability to play games to the small entry-level laptop from Apple. In use, the short-stroke keyboard satisfied us and we found it also suited for longer use. It's a shame, as the gray labelled keys are hard to read in poor light conditions. A background illumination of the keys is unfortunately not offered by Apple. The layout and size are identical, however the newer MacBook Pro keyboards feel somewhat softer. The white keyboard of the entry-level laptop from Apple is very similar to the black one in the MacBook Pro models. Only the outstanding scroll with two fingers and the 'right click' with two fingers are seen on the MacBook (there's no zoom, rotate, forwards, back, dekstop.). You'll even have to do without most of the new multi-touch gestures in the white model. This simply offers a more pleasant pressure point than the new glass trackpad and makes use with the weak BootCamp drivers in Windows easier. Instead of that you get the old white plastic trackpad with worse (yet all the while very good) gliding qualities and a dedicated touchpad key. Unfortunately you'll have to do without the new glass trackpad with built-in touchpad keys in Apple's entry-level laptop. Just like in the more expensive models, you also get the useful additional features in the currently cheapest Apple laptop, like the mentionable MagSafe power supply, or the small mains adapter with a handle for practical rolling up of the cable. This was improved in the Unibody aluminium laptops. The large display hinges leave behind a good impression, but unfortunately the lid cannot be opened far enough in order to reach a good viewing angle when working on bent knees. The ability to be distorted is however OK for the thickness and construction (no clamshell). Only the display lid lacks the rigidity of the aluminium. You should therefore be aware that the white polycarbonate casing is clearly more susceptible to wear than the aluminium Unibody case of the more expensive models.ĭespite the case is made of polycarbonate, the stability of the white MacBook is very good. Users of the first models also complained about a rapid fading in the areas where the wrists rest. However, this also indicates a high degree of utilisation. In older MacBook laptops you very often see visual wear on the trackpad, the space key and the wrist rests. You can only anticipate from user reports how the dirt-susceptible white colouring gets on after longer use. ![]() The haptics of the deployed plastic can be considered thoroughly high-quality (particularly on the inside). Our review model was liked by some even better than the cool aluminium case of the more expensive MacBook Pro laptops.Īnother drawback of the used plastic body, is the sesintivity to scratches (particularly the high gloss surfaces on the outside) Even in our practically brand new test device we already found several traces of wear after only a few hours of use. Indeed, compared to the aluminium Macbook Pro 13.3 the white model clearly appears to be of less high-quality, but compared to other products on the market, however, it is still an outstanding device. Many of the current design elements of the aluminium MacBook series are simply made further use of in the small MacBook. However, thanks to the simple straightforward design the laptop still appears optically up to date and in no way aged. Since the introduction of the first white MacBook with Intel technology nothing has been changed at the exterior of the entry-level laptop.
