My dear wife got me a Macbook for my birthday, and I’ve hardly touched my PC for a week. It’s like having a souped up linux box with a kick-ass GUI.
Special note – get the base 512 ram, and buy 2GB of OWC memory, if you’re gonna buy a Macbook, it’s much cheaper. I should be getting my 2GB upgrade tomorrow, and I’ll be running memtest to check it out and reporting back.
