I'm considering my first MacBook - i can finally justify the cost (kind of) and my Dell is on its last legs. Main requirements are: 1) relatively small/light, 2) fast - I'm sick of getting by with barely enough memory and 3) good looks.
In reality I will only be using this for surfing + music...but will be playing around with some of the iLife stuff too. Shouldn't be putting much strain on CPU/Memory. Pretty much using around the house - or occasional coffeeshop...but not going to be doing much traveling with this.
I love the look of the aluminum MB 2.0 - but is the extra couple hundred bucks worth it for my purpose? Would the White do everything I need it to? How about a $999 refurb MacBook Air?
Also, any Mac-alternatives I should bother looking at (would need to be cheaper for me to consider)?
Thanks for the help
