Review: MacBook 13.3″ Aluminium - Part 7

BATTERY DURATION

According to Apple, the battery should last up to 5 hours. During the first test, it was possible to navigate in Internet with the WLAN connection for 4 hours without having to recharge the battery.

Good results, the only downside is that Apple doesn’t allow the user to replace the battery for one with more capacity.

CONCLUSIONS

The new MacBook is clearly a great product. The new aluminium cover is made of high-quality materials and its design and hardness are impressive. The new trackpad is also a wonderful feature. The performances are great, and users should keep in mind that the 9400M chip is the fastest on the market so far.

On a negative side: the number of interfaces. We think Apple reduced the number of interfaces on the MacBook 13.3″ in order not to allow any competition between it and the MacBook Pro.

It would have been good to have the possibility of choosing an opaque screen as well. It would always depend on the usage of the laptop, but for some situations, the opaque screen would have been more useful.

In a nutshell, the MacBook 13.3″ is a great alternative to the MacBook Pro.
