My unibody macbook is 3 months old - of course I wish I had the newer one (though the differences are very slight - the fw800 would have made life easier though and the screen on this machine ain't great versus the 15" mbp I had before) but I needed it for work at the time, and could not wait so I feel fine about it. Had I been able to wait iI would have done what I do with all my other machines, wait till after a Macworld and buy, but I would not trade the work I've done on this machine in the last 3 months for the few extras features of the new machine.

The revamp does do one thing I liek though, I always thought this unibody was a 'pro' machine, it really remind me of my 12" Powerbook - still going strong with a friend after many years of use and lots of bumps and scrapes.

I will be interested as to how the battery deal works out though - I generally abuse my batteries then change them every 2 years.

Oh and if you can, the 4gb ram/500gb hard drive combo which i fitted myself to my macbook, really speeds things up a lot. 500gb also allows me to take enough media on the road for work travel to stop me getting bored in lame hotels around Europe.
