iBook -> Macbook...Worth it?

Emphasis mine:

Keep it man and wait until they come out with a laptop thats not a rip off due to problems.

A laptop that is not a rip off due to problems? Thats already out, it's called the Macbook.

To the OP, if you can get a decent re-sale price for your iBook go for the MB. It is a great machine, and will be much, much faster than your iBook.

I think I am gonna give in a buy a 1.83GHz stock MacBook in 2 weeks from my Apple Store. Gonna order 2GB from Datamem.

the widescreen and glossy screen are debatable as to wether it is an upgrade or downgrade

Comparing a G4 iBook screen and a new MacBook's glossy side by side, the iBook makes me feel like I'm developing cataracts. There's a HUGE difference in brightness, sharpness, and contrast, and the glare is minor and only an issue from angles.

The new screen is awesome.

I bought a base MacBook with 1Gig of ram to replace my 12" iBook G4. The MacBook keyboard is much better, and the screen is nice. The problems I have with it is the increased size and wieght. I honestly didn't think it would be that much more, but I notice it a lot. Also, the MacBook runs very hot.

If you can wait, you should. Rev B will probably bring a price drop and a faster processer.
