If only the white MacBook had the new trackpad it would be perfect.
Then it really wouldn't be worth $300 for just the unibody.
Now have a few gripes about this computer after using it for a full day:
1) Keyboard feels mushy and cheap; I was complaining about the chiclet keys before because these keys felt cheap; then they put it on the unibody machines and I thought I was wrong—now I'm sure these keys just suck.
2) Trackpad button is kind of unresponsive; don't care about multitouch since I've never used it in the first place; I like keyboard shortcuts.
3) View angles on the screen as just abysmal.
4) Edges are pretty sharp; people complained and I thought it was just people being silly and all; I don't even rest my wrist on the edges, but sometimes brushing against it hurts.
And then a few more issues probably just with this computer:
4) Battery doesn't sit flush; it's sticks out by about 1mm on the side where the coin-slot is.
5) Lid is definitely not even straight; forget the complaints about the lid sticking up on one side; this whole thing is shifted to the right my about 2mm—that's pretty bad I can feel the sharp edges when the computer is closed.
What I like:
1) Terrific battery life; I never knew the battery could last this long.
2) Powerful yet, modest; can take to class and around and people don't even look at me anymore; I like that.
3) Plays anything and everything I've thrown at it so far.
4) Very quiet, runs cools, and no funky noises.
5) I can finally use the computer lying down on the bed with the computer angled up!
6) It's ready for Open CL.
7) It's got Firewire!
Somethings I can't really complain about:
1) Comes with a good amount of RAM for most people; 2GB is enough for almost anything. I've had a few times I've needed more than 2GB, but just a few, so I don't see the need to upgrade. Maybe if the opportunity arises, I may buy more RAM.
2) I don't know how good or bad the stock HDD was because the first thing I did was swap out the HDD for a 250GB model I had lying around.
3) AC adapter is the same size as the 85W adapter and there are no markings that indicate the wattage on the adapter; now I have to check to make sure I bring the right adapter around.
4) I now have to spend like $200 on adapters: miniDisplayPort to VGA, to DVI, to DVI dual-link; miniDVI to VGA, to DVI; Firetruck this shhh.
Anyways, I love this machine otherwise and I'll probably keep it; well until my mother asks why I have 4 computers and then I'll have to give this one to her.
