Rating: - Great Idea, Terrible Execution
Note: this review is for the second generation macbook (1.1/2.4 dual core/2G RAM), and is not the current one. The Airport problems seem to have been resolved with the more recent macbook versions, but the rest of this tale still applies.
I am typing this review on my macbook so I can't say that I hate it. I have been tempted to throw it out the window many many times, however.
You can read about how great it is from other people. My experience is more of a cautionary tale of what can sometimes go wrong with Apple products.
This machine has had several card replacements including the airport card. Oh, and the case cracked too. Airport (Leopard) still doesn't work that well. And the battery now will not hold a charge. Applecare doesn't cover that because it's considered a consumable item and I've recharged it too many times.
Moral: buy, but you MUST purchase Applecare. They really really need to get their quality control in hand.
Rating: - Good product
We bought this for our son for his virtual class. He made the choice and as he use it, he discover more and more handy features and he loves it.
There are lots of upgrading capacity and I'm glad we purchased it.

After hearing such great things about macs, I finally took the plunge on the MacBook when the need for a laptop came. It's everything I hoped it would be and I'm completely satisfied. I like the Mac OS and everything just seems to work better and more efficiently than windows-based systems. No regrets whatsoever and my next PC will likely be a Mac.
