Rating: - Nicest Laptop I've Ever Used
People have written extensively about the many benefits of the MacBook so I won't go into the same details.
I will simply say that this is the best laptop I've ever used.
I really like the Mac OS. I've been a Windows user from the Get Go and wasn't terribly displeased. However, after being VERY pleased with my IPOD touch and then again, by the simplicity of the Apple TV, I decided my next computer would be a Mac.
I have not been disappointed!!
I still need to run some Windows only applications for work and I purchased fusion to allow this. Works flawlessly.
A little pricey to be sure....but Very, Very Nice.

I recently traded in my IBM Thinkpad T43 for this Macbook. I thought about trying Windows Vista, but with the rave reviews of Leopard and the awful reviews of Vista I felt like I needed to give the Macbook a shot. Compared to my old T43 this macbook is a wonderful.
Pros: Quiet, fast, no system hangups, intuitive operating system (easy to learn), pretty stylish, lightweight, and excellent battery life.
Cons: Initially you need to learn how to do things the Mac way instead of the Windows way. For some people this could take a bit of time. I loved my T43 keyboard and finger joystick thing in the middle. However, I don't mind trading those in for a better operating system.
In you're on the fence between a Vista notebook and a Macbook, I would definitely consider giving this computer a test run. After a week, I bet you'll get hooked. BTW, I opted not to spend the extra money on a macbook pro since I gave up gaming a few years ago and don't really use my notebook for anything too demanding. This is a great option for those who surf the web and do a bit of word-processing / photo editing.
Rating: - The best laptop Mac has made, for the price.
This is by far the best little laptop (13.4") that Mac has ever made. At 2.4 GHz, the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor is blazing fast. With it's 250 GB hard drive, you should have plenty of space for all your files. I couldn't be happier with my new Macbook. If you use a pc, it's time to switch. If you want to upgrade from an Ibook, it's well worth the price.
Rating: - Great for Productivity
This is my first Mac product, and I am not disappointed. The interface is superb and responsive and the differences from Windows are not difficult to adapt. I am a full time student taking courses exclusively online, and I couldn't be happier that I have a Mac. The best feature I have found is the expose button. At anyone time I may have fifteen windows open and it is nice to be able to see them all on one screen so that I can select the one I want. The included software blows Microsoft out of the water.
