I have put my Mac Mini G4 PowerPC 1.42 GHz on ebay for sale.

Dunno if I will get the macbook. It looks really stylish and cool. But with first release, there are always teething problem. hope they get iron out and wait for the next revision.

The only product left for Intel Transition is the PowerMac. Rumours has it, it will be called the Mac Pro.

Here's a nice chart comparing the MacBook and the MacBook Pro--the new model actually stands up pretty well to the pro models:

$200 for the color black and 20GB of hard drive is a bit of an Apple rip-off in my mind, especially when you're going to have to spend money for a RAM upgrade. Though I'm sure a lot of people will pay the premium.

Overall, it looks like a good machine at a good price to me. I think the sweet spot for buying is the white 2.0GHz for $1299.

Apple's gonna sell these by the truckload.

I agree with picaman. I think the MacBook (black) will sell very well.

I still don't understand why Apple won't made the touchpad with a dual sensor to mimic a 2 button mouse.

It is really nice, with all the features. It would be nice to have a dedicated video card.

If I had to relate it to another Apple product, I would relate them to the ipod line. The first Macbook is the nano, and the second two are the videos, with a choice of black or white.

I would say thw whole line is related to the iPod line - nanos are the MacBooks 1GB for the cheapest, then 2GB for the hi-end white one, then the 4GB for the black. The 15in MacBook Pro is the 30GB, and the 17in is the 60GB. NVM the shuffle, it doesn't count Smile

Amazing how crappy my 12" iBooks seems today. Smile

As much as I want one of these, I just can't justify replacing my less-than-a-year-old 1.33Ghz G4 iBook.

Hmm, The last 24 hours has really forced me to examine in excruciating detail, the fundimental difference between the words 'want' and 'need'! I'm not sure which way it'll go yet, but I expect i'll let you all know! Wink
