[QUOTE="dunkuk, post: 1687094, member: 364647"] Hi, thanks for that. I wish apple used different model names as its hard to talk about the models when they are all called Macbook! I've had a look at the benchmarks and there is very little difference between the scores for all 3. A 2010 model is out of budget and is only a few % faster. I plan to run an older OS and add an SSD, so should be quick enough. A friend used to have one of the square shaped ones and used it for music production so any of the 2.26 or 2.4ghz cpus will be fine for my needs which are video watching, office software and web browsing, maybe a bit of DJing. I found a review that said of the rounded white Macbook "LED backlit display, which eliminates the problem of narrowed viewing angles that we docked the first generation unibody MacBooks for" This review has some photos about a 3rd of the way down the page comparing a Unibody Aluminium Mac with a MacBook pro and the Unibody screen does look quite bad. [url]http://gizmodo.com/5063492/macbook-and-macbook-pro-dual-review[/url] Like I say ergonomics are important too, the later models have the big glass touchpad which I guess is better than the one with the button at the bottom? Looks like the unibody aluminium might be the one to avoid, so perhaps it comes down to the square vs the rounded white models? Rounded body 2009 could be a good bet. [/QUOTE]
