The Pros:Plenty powerful, runs OSX smoothly. Has the looks, still an eye catcher. Above average battery run-time, up to 4 hours normal use.
The Cons:Housing has average build quality, shows some flex. Needs an adapter cable to attach a projector. Motherboard or what they say logic board can get damaged quite easy.

#apple_macbook_2_0ghz_black_2006 Got this one, but an upgraded HDD and RAM. OSX 10.6.5 on it and it still runs smooth. I use m PC to playback anything above 480p.
It is still able to run Traktor Scratch Pro without a hick. that is what I got it for.

#apple_macbook_2_0ghz_black_2006 $2000 and above is a lot to spend on the Pro versions of the Macbook, but the black macbook has just enough cool to it to make it almost as special.
One thing that has impressed me about the new intel platform is the versatility of Operating Systems that can be run on it. Not just with Boot Camp, but also the third party application called Parallels Desktop. You can run any x86 operating system inside a window on your Mac or fullscreen, even run more than one OS at once. I saw one at the store that was running Ubuntu Linux inside a window on the desktop. You can do the same with Win XP if you have a license for it (Ubuntu is free).
