    Its absolutely amazing, the best thing I have ever bought. Definitely worth the wait and money. The battery life is unreal for such power. I wil be loving this for years to come!

    How long did you have to wait for it *after having placed the order*?

    Any upgrades?

    Im in the same boat as you OneXero - I picked up my new MacBook last thursday and it's by far been the best purchase of my life. I love just sitting in bed watching the Dodgers and playing with my macbook. It sucks tho cause now whenever my girlfriend is over she ALWAYS wants to play with it. Furthermore she gets MAD if she cant play with it. It's such a joke! I dont want her little paws messing up my macbook! But i have to let her...it's such a bummer.

    Been spending all day installing and uninstalling dreamweaver, blah, decided to wait and buy it some other time. Anyways, the battery life is around 4-4.5 hours, according what I'm doing. Right now I am using my linux rig since I am letting it cool down a bit, and charge. But I love everything about it, I got the newer 15.4 inch LED screen 2.4GHz macbook, its very fast compared to my pentium 4. I got that and a airport extreme, which compared to my old cable broadband, is much faster, and its wireless! Back to the point. A bit disappointed in the fact you only have 129GB of space. I reinstalled the operating system twice, for a few issues and such. But it runs perfectly! I plan on getting a 500GB hard drive to connect to my airport so I can watch my fansubs on stream. As well as upgrade to around 4GB when I upgrade to leopard in October. Best decisions I have ever made, better than that dell desktop decision I made a few years ago. >_>
