    Now that is what I've been waiting for: small, superdrive, widescreen. Now I know what is going to replace my ageing iBook G3, when Rev B is out and this thing will be dual boot out of the box.
    enjoy being here while getting there

    Yep, me too. Didnt need all the power of the MacBook Pro, but wanted all the features, so this has it in a smaller package for allot cheaper. This thing is gonna sell like crazy.

    Well, time to eBay my PPC Mac mini. :D

    I'm going to guess the fact he has a Power PC Mini rather than an Intel Mini. Or the fact its not a notebook. :shrug

    I'm waiting for Photoshop to port, then I'll probably grab a new iMac. I'm also considering a Mini for use in the home theatre rack. It would become my DVD player, and rip all my music as Apple Lossless on a large drive. Sweet! :)

    No, I LOVE it. Had it since the first week they were ever released like a year & a half ago. I just realized that I REALLY want a portable. There has been so many times this past year where a portable would have saved me allot of trouble. Not to mention, they are just cool. And the MacBook fits me perfectly. Pretty much like a portable mini with a screen.

    I seriously have never had one single problem with any of my Macs, which is a little scary, but im not complaining. iMac Cube>iMac Flat Panel>Mac mini

    And if you live in Australia you can get it for a mere $2099.00 AU about 1618.00 US. 500 bucks to get it here and its probably made closer to us than to the USA. Assuming its the same spec's
