Test of Macbook
Further to the announcement of macbooks mid-May, I hastened to have my macbook pro reimbursed, to be able to give myself this baby jewellery, corresponding much more to my use.
I therefore commanded on June 2nd, a macbook white, 2Ghz, 1Go DDR of random access memory, superdrive 80 and Go of hard disk (5400trs / min). Once placed order, waiting is Interminable! 18 days for production and transportation of my macbook since Puhong in China. 18 jours pour la production et l’acheminement de mon macbook depuis Puhong en Chine.
Finally I well have him between hands, and I am going to you to make opinion as objective as possible.
Packaging:
The care which Apple brings in its packaging, and in the general conditioning of its products is not any more to show. The computer arrives at home in one good pretty limps white. The computer is perfectly supported and protected. L’ordinateur est parfaitement maintenu et protégé.
Contained of limps her:
- A white macbook (yes héhéhé!) - a power supply - an "extra money" for the power supply - a remote control Apple Remote -un bloc d’alimentation -une “rallonge” pour le bloc d’alimentation -une télécommande Apple Remote
External aspect of the machine:
The white cockle is bright, very well put together, nothing cracks or moves. The inside of the computer is grey very clear and matt. The screen is bright as on Vaio from Sony (we will come back on the screen a little farther). The trackpad is absolutely huge. The keyboard is very special (we will come back farther also on the keyboard). On the left side we find, the connector cable of battery magsafe, a harbour ethernet gigabit, a harbour firewire 400, 2 harbours usb 2, an entrance and an exit analogical / optic sound. On the righthand, we just find the slit of the Superdrive (engraver of DVD) eat disc. Front, a led of wakefulness and the infrared receiver. Behind, nothing. L’écran est brillant comme sur les Vaio de chez Sony(nous reviendrons sur l’écran un petit peu plus loin). Le trackpad est absolument immense. Le clavier est très spécial (nous reviendrons plus loin aussi sur le clavier). Sur le côté gauche nous retrouvons, le connecteur de batterie magsafe, un port ethernet gigabit, un port firewire 400, 2 ports usb 2, une entrée et une sortie son analogique/optique. Sur le côté droit, nous retrouvons juste la fente du Superdrive (graveur de DVD) mange disque. Devant, une led de veille et le récepteur infrarouge. Derrière, rien.
The screen:
The screen of this macbook baby made cast a lot of ink Indeed, Apple changed its classics matt screens for this bright slab emanating from the world PC. The ancient of the mac go this bright screen can be to make the head, but is fabulous. The return of colours is close to perfection, angles of very broad seeing. Of course, in case of source of strong light directly run to the screen, the screen has a considerable reflexion. Some people will say to you that there is a strong persistence on this slab, me, in spite of my pages in black and white defilantes, I do not see significant persistence Above the screen, you find the isight, the webcam Apple, of very good quality, which, with photobooth, will well make you have fun!!! Le rendu des couleurs est proche de la perfection, les angles de vus très larges. Bien sûr, en cas de source de lumière forte directement dirigée vers l’écran, l’écran a un reflet considérable. Certains vous diront qu’il y a une forte rémanence sur cette dalle, moi, malgré mes pages noir sur blanc defilantes, je ne vois pas de rémanence significative… Au dessus de l’écran, vous trouvez l’isight, la webcam Apple, d’excellente qualité, qui, avec photobooth, vous fera bien rigoler!!!
Big problem on MY screen nonetheless the good of which I think of it, it is that I have the right to 2 nice dead pixels.. But this, it is a blow of misfortune!
The keyboard:
The keyboard can seem very strange to the seen first one But finally, it is of an incredible comfort!!! Keys do not make noise " Plastoc ".Elles are slightly spaced out to them some of others it that allows to avoid a good many of for lack of striking. I really stress this keyboard which is really extra! From a distance the best of all laptop computers which I could test. Les touches ne font pas de bruit “plastoc”.Elles sont légèrement espacées les unes des autres ce qui permet d’éviter bon nombre de fautes de frappe. J’insiste vraiment sur ce clavier qui est vraiment extra! De loin le meilleur de tous les ordinateurs portables que j’ai pu tester.
The hardware:
All macbook, although being of computers of entrance of range, is equipped with discs hard in 5400trs / min while on the same segment, you will find of PC with one 4200trs / min. The difference in total reactivity is much more significant than she parried there. Big difference especially feels on the processor core duet in 2GHz which allows to throw without complex all applications which you wish! So that all your applications turn without raising eyebrows too much, 1Go of ram am necessary, and 2Go very comfortable. La grosse différence se sent surtout sur le processeur core duo à 2GHz qui permet de lancer sans complexe toutes les applications que vous souhaitez! Pour que toutes vos applications tournent sans trop sourciller, 1Go de ram est indispensable, et 2Go très confortable.
Software package:
We find in the macbook the fabulous operating system of Apple, qualities of which are not any more to show But I insist nevertheless
MAC BONE is really an experience turned to the user. It is a system which allows to earn tremendously in productiveness of part its functionality moved forward on interface user and he also allows to work serenity in complete safety and thanks to a core bsd. Not of firewall or other antivirus which comes to decelerate you your machine. On Mac, the 2ghz of your computer is for you!!! Pas de firewall ou autre antivirus qui vient vous ralentir votre machine. Sur Mac , les 2ghz de votre ordinateur sont pour vous!!!
For the frontrow part (medium centre in the sauce mac), put you back in my opinion on the macbook pro, software is exactly the same.
Heat:
As the macbook pro, the macbook clears a tremendous number of heat, and obviously finds it difficult to dispel it correctly The cockle on the righthand side is in 40,6°C at the hour or me the computer write you, and is lighted for this morning 6 h. The processor, is it in 70°C. In compensation for this heat, you have a perfectly silent computer, since the fan puts on only very very seldom under way. En contrepartie de cette chaleur, vous avez un ordinateur parfaitement silencieux, puisque le ventilateur ne se met que très très rarement en route.
Autonomy:
Apple announces 6 h of autonomy After 3 calibrations of battery, and a load thoroughly, The lighted wifi, the lifeless bluetooth, brightness in the half, firefox, adium the photoshop, MAMP, Tacos, mail and dashboard of throwing My gauge points out 4 h 11 of autonomy on battery.
BootCamp:
Revolution is there! Thanks to architecture intel finally adopted by Apple and bootcamp, you can choose to throw mac bone or windows! You can even envisage the virtualisation via paralells, and therefore cross bone of mac to windows and/or to linux in flight. Macs is the first machines to be able to make turn 3 BONES at the same time!! Vous pouvez même envisager la virtualisation via paralells, et donc passer de mac os à windows et/ou à linux à la volée. Les macs sont les premières machines à pouvoir faire tourner les 3 OS en même temps!!
General opinion:
This machine presents the best report quality market price without no protest. Indeed, Vaio 13,3 ″ in equivalent power will cost you 500 euro more than the macbook …
For:
- multi platform
- nice
- compact
- correct autonomy
- Mac BONE
- iSight
- keyboard
- ecran
Double:
- heat
