Apple have always been ahead of the crowd when it comes to showcasing new ideas in technology design and indeed they released the first white laptop in May 2006. It is still possible to buy a white MacBook from apple, of course with much improved technology and specifications from that original model. The basic MacBook is somewhat of a budget option from Apple, being their lowest priced laptop at $999. There is also a MacBook Pro and MacBook Air available for those users looking for a little more power or street credibility.
Apple has always paid the utmost attention to the design of their products and this is certainly not overlooked in this white laptop computer. The body of the MacBook is sleek and slim, measuring in at 1.08 inches thick. The shape is streamlined and rounded with a high gloss white finish featuring the distinctive Apple logo in the centre of the casing. Apple white laptops will look great on any desk or in any coffee shop so no need to worry about having an unfashionable laptop with this design. It is not all good looks either as the designers have paid particular attention to functionality, with a non-slip base which prevents it from being knocked off tables and all connections and ports located on one side for easy access.
This white laptop also features a clever magnetic latch for smooth and easy opening and closing, a glass touchpad that feels like silk to the touch and a full size keyboard with ergonomically designed keys for comfortable typing and easy one-touch access to common controls. The glossy screen is LED-backlit making it great for watching movies and playing games and measures in at 13.3 inches. For users wanting a bigger screen, there are also 15 and 17 inch models available in the MacBook Pro range.

In terms of specifications, this laptop offers a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA GeForce 320M integrated graphics, 2GB DDR3 memory, a 250GB hard drive, an 8x double-layer SuperDrive and a built in battery that lasts for up to 10 hours. The specifications of these white laptops can be changed when ordering via the Apple store to add more memory, a larger hard drive and additional pre-installed software.
In terms of the basic pre-installed software, the snow white Apple laptop comes with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and iLife, which incorporates iPhoto, iMovei, GarageBand and iWeb for all your photo, video and music editiong needs. The Mac operating system takes a little getting used to if you’re used to a PC environment but many users find after switching, they never choose to go back as the system is so intuitive (everything just works!), rarely crashes and is highly virus resistant.
White Apple laptops aren’t for everyone but once the domain of artists and designers, Macbooks are now becoming more popular with regular users for their ease of use and fantastic design. This model is compact and weighs in a 4.7lbs (depending on exact configuration) which makes it great for easy portability. The battery life is also impressive, making this a good machine for remote working.
There are cheaper white laptop computers with the same specification available but what makes the Apple Macbook stand out from the crowd is its great attention to detail and amazing usuability. There is a reason that Apple has an almost cult following and if you choose to buy this white laptop you will get an idea of the reasons why.
