Sure, but it's starting to look now like the MacBook is one of the
cheapest intel laptops for the dollar.  It's actually $300 cheaper than
the equivalent Dell.  I have a friend who just bought a nice intel
laptop from Quanta a few months ago and now he's kicking himself for not
waiting for the MacBook since the MacBook is the same hardware but a lot
cheaper.

But of course I know what you are really talking about... saving up for
your next laptop.

I'm in the market for a new laptop sometime around Christmas.  I'll
definitely be trying to decide between the MacBook 13 and the MacBookPro
15".  I like the small size of the MacBook, but I'm not keen on the
color, the keyboard, or the crappy glossy screen.  I have always thought
that the glossy screen makes laptops just feel cheap somehow.
