I just got one of these a few days ago, all I gotta say is it is AWESOME!!!! I love this thing. Everything is just so easy, so much better. <3 Apple. Everything just works, just so.. simple. Why oh why didn't I make the switch sooner?

Yep they are pretty nice, but they arent perfect.
Now that you got one save up to upgrade HD and memory
for about $250 on newegg you can get 2 gb of ram and a 160 gb hd

I don't agree. they are perfect =P. As for the RAM and HDD, it's not really necessary right now, I will probably upgrade that stuff later on. Thanks everyone for the welcome, and the links.

Sounds like me when I got mine a month or so ago. Congrats on getting a fine laptop. Welcome aboard!

Make sure you post a shot of your setup in the aptly-named "Post Your Mac Setup" thread. It's degraded to page three currently (why isn't that a sticky?)

Congrats! I just picked up my Macbook about 4 days ago. LOVE this machine. I wish I had some more time to use it. I will post a pic when I get some time. In the correct thread of course.
