Okay, I'm an old MacFart.I was one of those who was wowed by Apple going to Intel, now that I have one WOW f*in Wow! Grey in whiskers, and still clear on the amazement of the release of Mac OS 7 (!) I have a G3/333 PowerBook that runs fine - no one needs to sell me on the eternal Mac, I know. The only way to kill a Mac is to give to a moron - this we know. I usually have 3 to 5 computers and this MacBook just puts all of them in the toilet. Its small, way smaller than any of my iBooks. The screen just kills any of my desktops - I didn't expect any laptop to have this great of graphics. And did I say its fast, oh no it went so fast I didn't even get that typed in. Fas-f'in-fast! I felt betrayed and horrified - Intel??? After all those years of lambasting anything Intel to be put in the s**ter of Intel by Apple?
Put it all behind you and get one, you'll never be the same - in a Very Good Way. Its like the shift from 680x0 to PPC, seemed big but its so wonderfully so you'll never look back. I'll still keep my OS 8 machine for the OLD stuff but hey this Core2Duo is insane fast!
You don't have one yet?
Get one to read this and then another to read your review - and then you'll have to get another for your hunny - I wonder - are they cheaper by the dozen?

I am an IT product manager for a large nationwide AV technology company. I specify and recommend IT products to our many locations. I will no longer recommend Apple products based on my own personal experience. This laptop has given me nothing but issues over the 1+ year I owned it. I won't go over the minute details, but basically it was in for repairs at least 5-6 times to replace the battery, hard drive, random reboot, discoloration on the plastic, SuperDrive, etc.
The last issue I had was just this week. The screen began to flicker constantly and I was about to take it to my local Apple store when my wife accidently spilled water on the keyboard. As I said before, the logic board (motherboard) was already defective before the spillage. Because of the water damage, even though I have AppleCare, the repair is not covered--Apple wants close to $1000 for parts/labor to repair a system that at this point, it's not even worth that anymore. I can't believe the Mac "genius" even suggested repairing it when a new unit costs that much.
I have always been a big Apple fan for many years and have owned many of their products. I have bought and recommended Power Macs G4/G5, MacBooks/Pro, iMacs, CinemaDisplays, MacPros, you name it! Many of our locations complain about the premium price that our company pays for an Apple product as opposed to a Dell system. After the way I've been treated by Apple, I no longer feel that the premium price for a Mac system is worth it.

I never used a notebook with an operating system other than windows, but I would say this product is great whether you are apple or microsoft user. The system itself seems easy to learn with user friendly and powerful features. The hardware specs are aweseome with a 13.3" Laptop screen size, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, and the most beautiful feature is the WHITE finish!!
If you are looking for a relatively small sized notebook, less price, powerful features and specs, and very nice look, then this should be your choice.
Trust me!!
Rating: - Good design, but cheap parts.
My HD just died on me and lost a month worth of notes etc (after my last backup). This is after the battery, disc drive, and mainframe were replaced for failing, all at different times within the past 2 years. The tech support at the genius bar has been great (thank God I purchased an extended warranty), but it's just one thing after another with this computer. Apple's quality control has fallen from what it once was.
