excellent laptop--MacBook MB062LL/B 13.3"
It's a great notebook and works better than I expected. Excellent price and fast delivery from Amazon.com.

Definitely better than a PC
I am a recent MAC convert and I do not regret converting for one second. My mac loads fast and is very user friendly. I particularly enjoy the integrated webcam and having my picture taken the first time I configured my mac.

A pleasure to use
The last time that I bought an Apple computer was about 20 years ago when real floppy disks were still being used. In the interim, I have used (and suffered through) every incarnation of Windows through XP Pro. But when Vista came out with all of its headaches (I ordered and then returned a Vista laptop), I decided to listen to all of my friends who raved about Apple and bought the black MacBook with 2 GB of RAM. It is one of the best purchases that I made.

When I am at home, I have this connected to a Samusung 226 BW monitor and am blown away with the high resolution display. Even when I use the laptop as a standalone, the screen is bright, the colors are sharp, and the text is crystal clear.

Finding and connecting to wi-fi hotspots on the road is painless compared to the configuration required on my pc laptop. Recently I was in an airport that had a paid wi-fi service that was pricey, yet my MacBook found a free connection that I easily connected to.

Although I had never used a Mac before, because everything is so intuitive, and because the help menus are excellent, it took me very little time to learn all of the basic functions.

Apple Tech support is excellent. I redid the wireless network in my home with an Apple Airport Extreme and ran into some problems that tech support solved. Best of all, everyone spoke clearly and in American English since I was not routed to another country.

The MacBook comes with lots of interesteing ILife software, including IPhoto. For the first time on vacation, I took hundreds and hundreds of digital photos because transfering them from my digital camera to the MacBook,editing them, and deleting unwanted photos was so easy with the IPhoto software.

The bluetooth is also a nice feature that works effortlessly with the Apple bluetooth mighty mouse and Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard that I purchased to use when the laptop is hooked to my external monitor.

This laptop, while not "slim", is still reasonably compact and was very easy to travel with using an InCase bag that Apple sells specifically for this unit.

In short, this is packed with lots of features, is easy to use, and looks like and is a quality product.
