Reviews of the Apple MacBook - black (Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard)

CNET Review
The Good: Upgraded CPU for the same price; same great design; Leopard operating system.
The Bad: Still no Express card or SD card slots; only more expensive models are available in black.
The Bottom Line: Apple has been content to issue minor periodic hardware updates to the 13-inch MacBook, but the modest performance gains and new Leopard OS keep it in our top tier of laptop recommendations.
