That's because the MacBook has a widescreen display, and presentations are
by default sized at a 4:3 ratio. You can re-size slides by going to File >
Page Setup in PowerPoint. You need to re-size the slides so that the ratio
of width:height is equal to the ratio of width:height for your screen (check
your resolution in System Preferences). This is all explained in more
detail here:
