New MacBook ‘puts style over affordability’

New MacBook 'puts style over affordability'Apple’s new MacBook has put style over affordability with its fourth generation release, according to one review.

Writing for the Associated Press, Peter Svensson claims that while plastic used to be the sexy material of the future it is now the ugly object of the past.

He claims that the new $1,300 (£800) device, which went on sale last week, is one tenth slimmer due to its aluminium chassis.

Mr Svensson claims the new look is great but costs nearly twice as much as an entry-level Windows laptop.

The new device has the same 13.3-inch screen as the MacBook White and is backed by light-emitting diodes rather than fluorescent tubes, which means it reaches full brightness faster.

He concluded: "The new MacBook is an excellent computer, but doesn’t really the change the advice I would give people who are looking for a new laptop. If you’re price-conscious but really want Apple software, get the $1,000 MacBook White."

Apple was founded in 1976.
