    And I couldn't be happier.

    Enough said.

    Grats. I still have yet to see a black MB. Bet it looks sweet! Now if you could only get other colors as well!
    They should have all the ipod nano colors :)

    Some videos would be baddass. I've been told by a couple people that the macbooks are capable of playing HL2, not at anywhere near the highest settings, but still playable. I just wanted to actually see it in action. I've seen videos of people playing WoW on a macbook just fine, but have only heard stories about HL2. Anyway, I am babbeling. If you have HL2, post a vid of you playing it.

    For nonameputs, Half Life 1 and 2 are both known for scaling very well. They will play on pretty much anything, so I would believe the stories.

    Well if HL1 had an OS X version, it would definitely be able to run at max resolutions, HL1 has been out since 1995. HL2, I have seen videos of it running on it, and it was pretty sweet, only down fall is you need to run windows.

    Easy, just search Youtube:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oyv4-pRjfE (this is not my video)
    You can find a few more videos like that and of the Macbook running other games like Warcraft 3 under Bootcamp in Youtube easily.

    I can post pics and videos. Pics wont be a problem, but what do you want me to show in the video?

    Problems? No, heat is about as much as any laptop I've used. I've been using this thing on my lap all night... And I do mean all night, about 7 hours. And it's just pleasantly warm.

    I believe it was made in week 38.
