Apple New Redesigned Macbook

Apple's new-look MacBook laptops have met with a mixed reaction from reviewers.

• Apple to launch new MacBook laptops
• MacBook Air: There's something in the Air
• Gadget Inspectors: MacBook Air review

The 

range's most distinctive feature is its replacement of a conventional mouse in favour of the multi-touch technology found on the 

 iPhone. Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive, 

said 

at the launch in San Francisco, that he thought the new laptops would be "a huge success".

But reviews have been mixed, with some particularly critical of the company's decision not to release a sub-$800 (£560) laptop. Here's a selection of some of the reaction from the web.
