  MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.1GHz
  By Jonathan Seff and Mark Hattersley
  
  Review summary: Apple have recently made significant improvements to the MacBook range.
  
  Pros: Performance boost, larger hard drives than previous model, 2GB RAM on higher-end models

  Verdict: The 2.1GHz MacBook is a capable system, but for £130 more you can get a faster processor, bigger hard drive, SuperDrive, and an extra 1GB of RAM.
