This reviewed is based on the mid-level MacBook model, which comprises the midrange of the three versions available. The physical design is identical to the low-end model: a widescreen white laptop with a 1280x800 screen (which is larger than the 12" PowerBook G4's screen in both size and resolution) on one side, and a keyboard on the other with a trackpad surrounded by wrist rests. The trackpad features the two-fingered scrolling capability present on other recent Apple notebooks. The high-end model also uses essentially the same physical design as well, except that it is black in color. The battery is located on the bottom of the MacBook, and it can be removed by the user via the same "coin-operated switch" (a rotating switch designed so that only a coin or similarly shaped object can be used to turn it) as recent PowerBooks. In short, the basic layout of the MacBook is essentially the same as Apple's previously laptops, a design that I have always found to be about as comfortable as possible for a compact laptop.
