Ack! So many to choose from! I love a lot of things- magnetic connector, iSite, OS X in general, magnetic grasp, compact design, etc, etc.
But honestly, I think my favorite is the trackpad. It seems to be the perfect size and I love clicking or scrolling with two fingers.

i swear there is a thread on this already but oh well...

The glowing apple of course. No, not because it's an apple apple, just the fact that something on the back of my notebook is glowing. Me likey.
Did you clean it's insides...my buddys laptop was heating up crazilly, so he opened it up, it was full of dust which was blocking airflow and therefore cooling...
The two finger scrolling is amazing when I am not using my mouse. And right-clicking with two fingers as well as awesome. It's just so easy and totally kills the idea of having an actual second button. (Like PC laptops. Whenever I use a Windows laptop I find myself clicking the wrong button because I have to actually feel for which one I want to use. With my MacBook all I have to do is Click.. or put two fingers down and click. And I know exactly what it is going to do.)
The magnetic latch is just so easy to open and close and keeps the book closed. The button latch on my old iBook was just so inconvenient.
The hinge, although going all the way back to the original white iBook G3 is a genius idea that saves space and looks really nice.
The keyboard with the chicklet keys. I'm sorry, but I am so used to this kind of keyboard I can't even type on normal keyboards anymore. I guess I developed a soft touch. I find myself not pressing regular keyboard keys hard enough. But I don't care because the flat keyboard style needs to become the defacto standard for all future keyboards.
Magsafe. The magnetic easy to plug in and remove power plug. Protects from being thrown to the floor. And it doesn't bend like my old iBook's plug did. Damn that poor thing is so bent out of shape I'm surprised it still fits in the hole and powers the thing.
I want to add one more thing, but all I can think of is the easy to access HD bay and RAM slots. Which I have used a few times now.

Yea that's probably my favorite thing. I don't have to worry about using the arrow down button or using the arrow button or the scroller on the far right, which is a HUGE help because it makes everything so much quicker.
I am going to have to go with most of you too and say the trackpad, like the size, the feel and the touch features on it like 2 finger scrolling and the two finger tap for the secondary button.
feels like I am playing with a toy or something.

Either you're missing a "kidding" smiley or you're a bit too flashy!
I would rather purchase a white MB (Love the color) and have a 250GB HDD replace my 160GB not from Apple saving me $200!
Paying $200 more for something that gives you the ability to "show off" and call White MB owners foolish makes you a fool and the White MB owners intelligent!
P.S.: I own an iBook, 2 MBP and a WHITE MB amongst portables!
I bought the black one because I liked it more than the white one.
Having a more expensive machine means I have better taste, a better lifestyle and less odourous faeces.
The bit in bold is a proper reason!
Everything else is pure foolishness! I would rather purchase a dual Mac Pro than a gold plated Eee PC!
P.S.: If I remember correctly.... you've already been criticized for this foolishness in the forum before! No?

well i think the problem might also be the single processor running at 3 + ghz in a laptop....
those tend to get hot lol
Another vote for the MacBook keyboard.
It looked weird to me when it first came out, turns out to be the nicest feeling keyboard so far. (Till I get a IBM Model M)
The large touchpad and two-finger scrolling/right-click, very very useful!
Overall, the whole MacBook is well designed.
