Good to have a suitable notebook again.

I just got a similar machine yesterday. My previous notebook was an iBook, and I'll be the first to say this thing is pretty nice. I opted for the 1.66 Duo, 100gb HDD, and one 9 cell battery. Build quality is just fine, and so far it runs cool. I didn't get a Macbook because I was afraid of the heat reports, but this thing is about as cool as my G3 800 iBook. I also opted for accidental damage coverage (++!)

Anyway, have fun with the new laptop!
