It has a built in isight and front row seems better than media centre. The down side is applications that are not native (i.e office) take a little while to load (although they run fine); also with the macbook the integrated video card won't do the latest 3d games. It currently only has 512mb ram, so everything should be quicker when I upgrade the ram. Oh and the screen is much brighter than the ibook, I like that. Battery life seems to be around 4 hours with standard use (with wireless and bluetooth). I've also installed windows XP on it so I can use programs like Visio etc. /end disjoined comment 2: Comment Link

Its a "notebook" 1 half of 10 minutes of battery life, but good specs all 'round. I'll bring it over if we ever lan again. It should arrive some time next week. -- Matthew Costa 3: Comment Link
