Apple MacBook Summer 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.13GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M)
Editors' rating: 4
The good: Good price for the specs, for a Mac; sturdy construction; no graphics compromise.
The bad: Older battery doesn't last as long as the new Pros; still no SD card slot or ExpressCard; white MacBook design is getting a little old.
The bottom line: For $999, it's hard to beat this MacBook's nearly MacBook-Pro-level specs if you're in the market for a budget Apple laptop.
