Traditionally notebooks are made from multiple parts. Every MacBook starts its life as a single block of aluminum, which is precisely machined into the basic unibody design. Another pass and the unibody takes shape. Another, and the integrated keyboard emerges. When you pick up a MacBook you immediately notice the entire enclosure is thinner and lighter.

Metal case, metal and glass screen protection, full-size keyboard, button trackpad
Cons

Recommended it?
Yes
