One forward-looking change we'd like to see is a move to 16:9 displays, which are quickly becoming an industry standard. Other points of differentiation include the lack of an SD card slot and a backlit keyboard.

However, unlike the more expensive Pro models, you don't get the slick-looking edge-to-edge glass over the display. The 13.3-inch display, at 1,280x800, is now LED backlit (making that a standard feature across the entire Apple laptop lineup), which is better for both power consumption and environmental concerns.

We're frankly surprised that other PC makers have not done a better job of knocking off the MacBook's trackpad. The extremely large surface area and the multitouch gestures-including four fingers to minimize every open window and the two finger tap to simulate a right mouse click-are so intuitive and useful that they make using any other laptop's trackpad a disappointing experience in comparison. While the entire pad depresses as a giant left mouse button, PC-style tapping can be turned on in the settings menu (although it really should be on by default). The trackpad is the same large glass multitouch version found on the MacBook Pros, and it dominates the wrist rest area. The unibody construction means the battery is no longer removable, as with the current MacBook Pro lineup-a cause for concern to some, but we've never thought that a nonremovable battery was a deal-breaker in a laptop. It's a darker off-white color and has a matte feel, different than the glossy lid and keyboard tray. The separate bottom panel is particularly interesting. The unibody switch shaves a little weight off the system, going from 5.1 pounds to 4.7 pounds. The bottom half also has a rounded edge, making for an overall effect that's much less boxy, although it's still the same 1.08 inches thick as the previous version. While still recognizably a MacBook, the new version has more gently sloped edges on its glossy white lid, making it look slightly slimmer when viewed straight on. Unibody, Apple's preferred term, is a bit of a misnomer, as the bottom panel is separate, as are the multiple parts that make up the lid and display.
Like the aluminum MacBook Pro models, the MacBook now has a unibody chassis, although in this case, it's still made of polycarbonate.
