I give it 6 months, and I’ll have a MacBook in my office as my only machine running TimeMatters, CaseMap, NoteMap, and DevonThink all at once!
p.s. I’m posting this from my home intel-iMac. Everytime I bootup my Dell Inspiron at work, I’m reminded what a clunker it is compared to Mac hardware.

Just saw today that Apple has acknowledge a manufacturing issue causing excess heat on the MacBook. You may want to check the exhaust vent on the back to see if there is a little piece of plastic covering the vent. Check out http://www.macnn.com/articles/06/06/06/macbook.heat.problems/ for details.

It’s possible to be different.

The new Macbook’s have a feature that allows you to put two fingers on the touch pad, causing the pad button to become a right-click button. Pretty cool. And it’s a control panel option, so I imagine it will be available on the Macbook Pro’s shortly (if it isn’t already).
