What is it:
Premium 13.3-inch laptop with Mac OS X

Typical price:
£949

We like:
Styling; build quality; backlit keyboard; mouse trackpad

We don't like:
Pricey; only two USB ports

The judgement:
The new MacBook is, as expected, very good but very expensive. We can see where all the money is going, though - it's an absolutely gorgeous piece of engineering you'll spend hours just looking at. If you've got the cash, we'd thoroughly recommend it. If not, you'll get more for your money buying a Windows machine
