The Pro line may be Apple's flagship laptop, but the basic white polycarbonate $999 MacBook hits the sweet spot between price and performance especially now that the Apple's latest updates have added a slightly faster Intel Core 2 Duo processor, improved Nvidia graphics, and even given its battery life a modest boost.Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Apple MacBook A1342 13.3' Laptop - MC516LL/A (May, 2010) at the best online prices at eBay Free shipping for many productsWhile the practical impact on users is probably modest, Apple still hasn't moved to Intel's newer Core-series CPUs in its 13-inch models, and the lack of an SD card slot in any laptop these days seems like a glaring omission.

The MacBook has the same large glass multitouch track pad the MacBook Pros have had for some time, as well as the one on the non-Pro MacBook since last fall.The entire track pad presses as a giant left mouse button, but tapping to click can be turned on in the settings menu-it really should be on by default, and every time we use a new MacBook, it takes us a minute to figure out why we can't click on anything. As before, the bottom panel has a darker off-white color and a matte feel than the glossy lid and keyboard tray.Seeing other PC makers implement their own versions of a multitouch track pad just makes us appreciate the Apple version even more. It uses the same polycarbonate "unibody" construction- although the bottom panel is a separate piece-found in the last few generations of the aluminum MacBook Pro line, and only comes in white we still find people who miss the black MacBook.The MacBook is not the thinnest 13-inch laptop we've seen, but the gently sloped edges on the glossy white lid make it look nice and slim. While we're compiling a wish list, we'd love to see Apple make the switch and give the MacBook screen a 16:9 aspect ratio with higher resolutions.From the outside, this new version of the MacBook looks identical to the one released in the fall of 2009.
It's not a deal breaker, but for viewing HD video content, it's not perfect. Many premium-priced laptops go even further, with display resolutions hitting 1,600x900 pixels or higher. Once that resolution was extremely common however, these days laptops from 11- to 15-inch screen size generally have a 16:9 aspect ratio, 1,366x768-pixel resolution display, rather than the 16:10 aspect ratio found here.
Apple A1342 Book Upgrade The Hard
In Call of Duty 4, we got 28.9 frames per second at the system's 1,280x800-pixel native resolution with 4x anti-aliasing turned on, and 48.3 frames per second at lower graphics settings without the anti-aliasing. However, just as we loved the 9400, the new 320M is even better, providing decent 3D graphics and HD video playback without the need for a discrete GPU. It's technically still an integrated GPU, and a close relative to the previous MacBook's GeForce 9400M chip. In fact, the Core 2 Duo MacBooks were significantly faster than a recent 13-inch Asus U30Jc with an Intel Core i3 CPU, although in our single-app tests, a Core i5 Sony Z116 was faster.The biggest under-the-hood change to the MacBook is that it now has Nvidia's GeForce 320M graphics chip. Considering the 13-inch MacBook Pro is only $200 more-and $100 of that goes to the RAM upgrade-you could spend the extra $100 and get the metal construction, backlit keyboard, and an SD card slot.Performancewise, you're getting essentially the same experience as with the more expensive 13-inch MacBook Pro in our benchmark tests, although even the older fall 2010 MacBook wasn't far behind. You can increase the RAM from 2GB to 4GB for $100, or upgrade the hard drive to 320GB ($50) or 500GB ($150), but that's it as far as you can upgrade the hardware.
