Summary: Great Value
Comment: I upgraded my old macbook (white one) to this model and am very happy. With 4 gigs of Ram I am able to effortlessly go from a mac to a pc environment without any delays and/or problems. Although I had that ability on the old macbook, the reality was that as a heavy user of large programs, I was constantly having speed issues. This is a thing of the past. Now that Apple has lowered the price, it is truly a great buy.

Summary: I returned it
Comment: I ordered my MacBook to record music. The cd drive was grinding against the inside of the case. The Apple CoreAudio driver doesn't work with my firewire interfaces (FA-66 and FA-101) with Audacity. I tried to put Windows on it cause I know the Win drivers work, but bootcamp doesn't load either.
So I returned it. Amazon were really great about the return. Things went smoothly, and I got my money back.
I'll not get another Apple any time soon, but I will definitely buy from Amazon more often.

Summary: Get a Macbook Pro or new Macbook instead
Comment: Owned this model (Black Macbook) for 2 weeks. Could not get over how annoying and painful the palm rests were. It was crazy. I would immediately feel the edge of the palm rest digging into my wrists. And no, my method of typing was not the issue, it was the palm rest itself which are strangely sharp. I was also not so impressed with the screen itself. The only way I can describe it was that I felt it was not as sharp as the Dell Inspiron notebook I was using prior. The pros were of course it's a Mac and it's lightweight.
I ended up purchasing a Macbook Pro months later and absolutely love it. If a Macbook Pro is too pricey for you, check out the new aluminum macbooks. Half a pound lighter and they seem to be much easier on the wrists.

Summary: Good computer, but Don't buy from Amazon.
Comment: Apple MacBook MB404LL/A 13.3-inch Laptop (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive) Black
A good laptop overall! Not as much battery time as the G4 and I replaced the battery for this within a week at the Apple store for free. My biggest disappointment however is that I bought it from Amazon as they not only will not honor the rebate that they told me to wait 30 days for... They are now selling the laptop for $150.00 less, and will also not honor the price drop.
My advice is to buy it directly from Apple as they have reduced prices on the item and the service is obviously better.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very nice, but big drawbacks.
Comment: I really do like this product, the design is very nice. I do however had some gripes with it that make me give it a 3.5 rating (If I could).
The Good: Very well designed. Runs cool even at high processor usage. OS X starts up very fast.
The Bad: While Windows Vista does install as advertised I find the mouse driver provided to be a headache when attempting to right click as it confuses it with two finger scrolling even though i'm not moving my fingers up and down the pad. The Apple forums have several complaints on this issue to no resolution or updated drivers.
OS X also has its share of problems such as Safari that loves to freeze or crash, especially on certain sites like CNN.com. In addition I had to rename my entire network to workgroup for me to connect to my Windows shared printer, as changing the workgroup settings on OS X did nothing.
Also I sometimes have issues with shutting down OS X, especially if Safari or another app is crashing. It does not seem to want to do a force everything to shut down like Linux or Windows is capable of.
Another note is that the product can scratch very easily (as I see with the power adaptor) and thats why I have used an InCase case from day one.
Additional of odd note is that sounds is much louder (at the highest setting) in Windows than on OS X.
The end note is that using Windows is required for me and advertised as working as such and while only 98% of what I want works, the right clicking on lists that love to scroll is a headache. Additionally I don't find that OS X works 100% and has it issues as well especially with Safari. I find myself using Opera.
