news.yahoo.com — This is a really good breakdown of what you want/need to know about the new MacBook from Apple. Things like color and hard drive options, the high gloss screen, totally new keyboard design, and integrated graphics. Good information from Macworld.

The ones I've seen in the apple store running at the end of the day (so they've been running all day, at least), aren't too hot at all. Of course, they aren't playing DVDs or games, but people *are* constantly using them, and they are not overheating.

And if this were a thread about IBM ThinkPads, somebody in here might give a damn.

@aplardiAdmittedly, I'm hardly a Photoshop guru, so i couldn't really describe the fine points of running it on any system. That said, the floor model for the Macbook has Photoshop installed and it seems to run fairly smooth. Granted, I only opened up an image and played around with it for a wee bit, but I didn't detect a massive slowdown of any kind.

And if I had any desire whatsoever to lug around a 15" screen for web browsing, blogging and word processing, I'd be all over it...Alas, I'll take the "puny" screen any day :)

> high gloss screenI just want to know, what frickin' retard started putting shiny, reflective screens on laptops. I do NOT want to see myself or my surroundings all the time. Morons.

> Hi there, I'm Wes2082 and I have the New Mac Book white 2.0Ghz w/ 1gig. I'm new to this "digg" thing. Here's the thing, I use my mac book all the time, at home here at work with Apple telesales, "ALL THE TIME"!! It does get warm, all computers do, my Toshiba that is new, my old dell, It does seem to get "warmer" than others, but you got to look at how thin this mac is, There's not that much instillation there, All computers how ever, produce the same heat, My mac is without a doubt the "Best" laptop I have owned. Basically, It's a total bad ass, If you don't have one, get one. I give apple 2 thumbs up for the mac book and this is coming from someone that has used "PC's" all his life. Screw you windows! Now I'm going to go watch Kevin and Alex get f**ked up. Bye!
