Thanks for all of the notebook advice

Thanks to everyone that has posted about the iBooks being a good value in numerous threads. I picked up a new 14" at CompUSA today and am pleased with it so far. Also, a nice suprise...I didn't think the iBooks were Core Image capable but mine says it is when I look at the "About this Mac" and sure enough I got the ripple effect when I launched Dashboard.

It's because the new iBooks have a Radeon 9550 graphics card, while the old ones have a Radeon 9200 (that is not compatible).
