Review: MacBook 13.3″ Aluminium - Part 1

Apple has introduced its 13.3″ MacBook with aluminium case. Compared to its “bigger brother”, it doesn’t have a dedicated graphic card, Firewire port or ExpressCard slot. We’ll see, in more detail, the main features on this model during this review.

Case

This notebook seems to aim at taking the place of the Powerbook 12″. The design is the same as the MacBook Pro, in fact, this notebook is a 13.3″ MacBook Pro, after all. Some features, however, remind us much of the MacBook Air, that set up a new standard for Apple’s notebooks in terms of style and quality.

Particularly, the round screen reminds us much of that of the MacBook Air. Also the power button and the keyboard are the same. The aluminium case contrasts pleasantly with the monitor’s black frame and the plastic protection cover (chosen in order to guarantee the WLAN and BlueTooth signals).
