Review: MacBook 13.3″ Aluminium - Part 4

DISPLAY

During the process of redesigning the MacBook, Apple has also decided to feature, on the smaller model, an illuminated LED display. The advantages of this type of display is that it becomes illuminated immediately after turning on the computer. Moreover, the maximum luminosity is definitely enhanced when compared to the previous MacBook model. It goes from a 178 cd/m2 to a 300 cd/m2.

Like the oldest brother and the iMac, the MacBook also has a glass protection cover on the display. It is rather shiny, so the reflexes can be annoying. However, the luminosity is enough to allow the user to work with no issues in normally illuminated environments.

The contrast and color strength on this MacBook version is slightly lower than the MacBook Pro, although the colors are actually still rather good. The visual angles are also a little worse than in the MacBook Pro, but they are not a big issue to the user.
