| Looks like I made the right decision — I bought a 2GHz/2GB RAM/80GB model for my girlfriend for her graduation, and seeing these rather minor updates makes me comfortable with my decision. She's not gonna use the extra 0.16GHz or 120GB hard drive, so it's all good. I'm actually glad I didn't wait, because in the small chance they did do some kind of major update I'd have to wait even further for the second revision so they had time to iron out some bugs. A LOT of people aren't happy about this update though!

| Well, it's better than no upgrade at all!

| I like the idea of having 200GB standard hard drive. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Apart from that, I guess its just a tiny update on the 2nd greatest laptop range on the shelf. |

| IMO, a very cheap update with all possible updates that were mentioned here and there (like LED powered screens etc). When are the Mac minis going to get an overhaul anyways?

| I just purchased one yesterday, May 15, from the Apple Store La Cantera in San Antonio as a graduation present to myself. Woohoo for me! It's a white one, base model (2.0GHz, 1GB, 80GB), and I picked it up for $1099 minus a $100 dollar discount (don't ask) for a grand total of $999 + tax. Not bad at ALL, in my humble opinion. I'm loving it so far. Upgrading from my 500MHz G4 desktop to this is nothing short of amazing. Fine little piece of hardware here. I plan on doing an upgrade to 2.0GB of RAM when possible, but for now, it feels oh-so-nice to be portable, wireless and speedy.

| My sister wants to upgrade her older Powerbook PC G4 so maybe we'll get a new one. She only had 80GB hard drive and it's about used up. The only downside about the newer Macbook Pros is I heard there is no dial up option on the machine. If so then that would be a drawback. I've had problems with my internet and dial up was a great option to talk to them online. S. |
