Apple announced new MacBooks yesterday. That's the new monicker for the old iBook. Very nice machines. The high end now comes in black in addition to the traditional white still offered across the line. But it's $150 more for no apparent reason. That's kind of silly. Otherwise these machines are great, and plenty powerful. Starting at $1199 (well, $1099, but you need at least 1 GB of RAM, so $1199.) I'd just get the cheapest one (with the added RAM.)
Unfortunately I need to milk my 867 TiBook for a while more. If I can make some money by January I'll get the Memron MacBook Pro when it comes out, but that's a pretty big "if".
Anyway, I know at least 3 people who were waiting for the MacBooks so maybe I'll get to play around with one.

One person bit. Fully loaded top of the line Darth Vader black model. Nice. I'll be able to see it when it arrives.
This machine will boot into Mac OS or Windows. But I don't think this particular one will ever see a copy of Windows. Still, I think this is going to be a wildly popular model. Should easily be Apple's best selling machine I think, and might rival the original gum drop iMac in terms of importance to the company.
