Apple MacBook Air is definitely the best Apple laptop yet. Let’s talk about the version of MacBook Air with 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 memory, 128 GB Flash Storage, 11.6 inch LCD screen, 2 USB ports, MiniDisplay port and video camera.

As you can see from the configuration, the Apple laptop seems to miss some ordinary things. We must mention the fact that you can’t upgrade it; what you buy is what you get so you have to think very well before buying one if you want 4GB of RAM memory or only 2 GB like on the basic model. For the SSD hard drive you can make an upgrade because it is installed on a Mini PCI Express board. In exchange the RAM memory is fixed to the motherboard.

The cover is uni-body, the same as on the MacBook Pro series and it looks very good. The computer is extremely small compared to a MacBook Pro of 17 inch. The computer boots faster than the MacBook Pro does and shuts down even faster. Once turned on you will be amazed by the 1366 x 768 pixels resolution.

The general impression it is that it is an ordinary computer which moves good for the usual tasks. Probably if we had it connected to a big screen and we could not see which computer is running, we wouldn’t even know it is a MacBook Air with a 1.4 GHz processor. We did not try to run filters in Photoshop or other graphic / video tricks to prove that the processor needs more power. As we were saying at the beginning, this computer was not made for this.

Too bad it does not have the possibility of 3G connections but on the other side it is true that there is nothing that can replace an USB modem stick. Another element that is missing is the DVD unit which can be bough separately in case you need one. But with the low prices on USB sticks, you can live without one. The operating system for MacBook Air comes on a 8 GB USB stick too. We did not feel the lack of the optical unit but it is possible for some users to need one.

If you’re interested in buying it you can visit Apple’s Store.

With a budget of 1000$ you can get a solid notebook that will surely satisfy your needs since the prices dropped considerably with time. Here’s a list that will help you to make the right decision.

Gateway NV5929u Notebook

This is a mainstream laptop that comes with a very good value. The best one you could buy with a budget of $1000.

It offers high-end performance hardware that is more than satisfactory. It has a solid feel to it, the keyboard and the track pad could use some improvements, but they can surely be used without too many problems.

It has an elegant design, its very functional but not the most portable of all. Nonetheless, it’s a very good choice if you want a strong performance laptop without spending too much.

Best Notebooks under $1000

Apple 13,3 inch Macbook MC516LL

This is the only notebook that Apple still produces and incorporates the classic pure-white design (which I am quite fond of). A design line that used to dominate Apple products.

It has that unibody design that we all like, the hardware does its job proper, the graphic card being better than most of the 13 inch notebooks pack.

The main advantage with this one is that is highly portable with a good battery life. Apple 13,3 inch Macbook MC516LL is one of the most powerful 13 inch notebook that money can buy. But keep in mind that with a budget of $1000 you will only get the base version.

Best Notebooks under $1000

Lenovo ThinkPad T410

Thinkpad is a very well built notebook offering durability with its protective features. Perfect if you find yourself on the road a lot.

It has a classic design, basic yet very user friendly. The keyboard is one of the best you’ll get on a notebook. The display is decent and in terms of performance it can be equipped with lots of optional components.

You won’t get the best looking notebook with this one but you will surely get one of the most durable.

After all the criticism brought to the previous model, Apple took the time to refine their product and brought plenty of improvements to it. Thus, Apple has reintroduced the 15-inch MacBook. The best thing about this one is the lower starting price. Its unibody design, pleasantly surprised all the customers. They even added a long-life battery that the previous model was lacking.

It’s a very light laptop to own, offering a very comfortable usage. The design is very modern and brings a very classy look to it.

The keyboard is very comfortable as well, similar to the previous models but with a back light that makes it even more awesome since this feature will come in very handy when using it in low-light environments. You won’t have any problems seeing the keys while you type anymore. The touch pad is large and will feel familiar to Apple device users. The same swipe is for navigating through file and the same zoom usage is  for iPhone or any other Apple device, with a very quick response . And once you get used to that, it will be very difficult to go back to any other old touch pad.

Best Laptop of 2009

The display is  amazing with more colors than before, but with the same reflection that tends to bother in some situations. Fortunately, the customers now have the option of adding a matte screen coating in order to get rid of those unwanted reflections.

But on the other hand the graphics have improved in comparison to the previous models, reflected in the rich colors.

MacbookPro performs excellent in any given situation whether its design was based on programs or just your average player was running. No crashes are almost guaranteed as long as you keep it in shape.

As always, Apple takes a lot of time to prepare the presentation of the product so you will be glad to receive a neatly put together package along with print materials that are bound to catch your eye. In conclusion, MacBook Pro is the best laptop of 2009, stepping up to claim the title with almost no contenders. A move we would like to see more often from Apple from now on.

Long considered the poor relation of the family of Apple laptops, the MacBook seems to suddenly move from darkness to light since as you say now the comparison with the old MacBook is painful … at least for owners of these!

Besides a full review online, electronics MacBook advantage of various improvements as we shall see, while the touchpad has been redesigned to support movements to touch the way of what can be done on the iPhone in particular. What is the new MacBook? What are its strengths? These are questions that keep us in suspense during this test.

Presentation: Common with the previous generation MacBook, the diagonal of the screen of the new models is set at 13 inches. Otherwise, Apple made a clean sweep of the past and the plastic of the previous incarnation of the MacBook is simply abandoned in favor of an all-aluminum chassis with gray rounded tips … like the MacBook Air. The relationship with the latter is still evident even if Apple generally barely deviates from the original design of the PowerBook.

The new MacBook is the subject of a new industrial process since its aluminum hull is cut into the ground to prevent the assembly of several parts: it’s what Apple calls the unibody. If this detail will be hard to tear yourself away a tear, this is not necessarily able to finish this new MacBook is still considerably higher than its predecessor.

While there is always an apple on the cover of this MacBook, apple that lights in the lighting of the computer, the screen opens and closes without any maneuvering mechanism. A simple magnet, light enough for the rest, holding it in place when it folded.

Quite compact with a thickness of 2.4 cm and weighs 2 kg, the new MacBook seems especially strong when you take hold. Its base has wide black plastic glides to prevent scratching the hull like on the MacBook Air. Totally clean, the MacBook is acquiring the bare minimum in terms of connectivity, so it has only one button to start and a single LED on the front which lights up when the day only.

Not far from this diode is an infrared remote control window became optional, while the DVD is on the right of the camera, all connectors are grouped on the left side of the notebook. We have here a RJ45 Ethernet port, two USB connectors that you would have liked more spaced to safely insert two keys including USB, two audio jacks mini-jack, a Kensington slot, video output type mini- DisplayPort connector and MagSafe.

MacBook Ports. Recall that Apple power connector is magnetized. This will not bring down the computer when the cable is pulled it is naturally stain. While the visual indicator of the level of the battery was located on the previous MacBook as the computer, it is now located on the left side of the Mac and a touch of the button adjacent to visualize the remaining battery life via eight LEDs . Small detail … unlike MacBook present and past, this new MacBook still lacks Express Card Slot: can therefore be added to the system of any expansion cards. Pity!
