Rufus

2009 Era MacBook

Created by Rufus on Aug 10, 2010

Ownership period: more than 1 year.
I bought the laptop from the school store and got an Ipod Mini for free. I've had the computer for almost 3 years now. I've had to replace the hard drive, a variety of circuit boards, a keyboard, and 3 power supplies, but every single repair has been rapidly taken care of by the extended AppleCare. The service was speedy, usually the mailed in turnaround was less than a week, usually 3-4 business days.

The software works really well, no viruses or real slowdown. I did upgrade to leopard after a few months with my computer.

I've also got windows installed via bootcamp that works surprisingly well. My windows macbook is more stable than a lot of other windows computers. I really notice a lot of the little things that i prefer about mac osx when using windows on the computer. The touchpad scrolling doesn't work as well on windows even with good mac drivers. A lot of the keyboard shortcuts are more difficult on windows.

Overall, I've had a fantastic experience with this computer. Anything that went wrong was fixed quickly for free. The computer has been virus free and been very dependable. I doubt I'll ever buy anything but a macbook to fit my laptop needs.
