The Logical Reason Why I Am Patiently Waiting For Merom (a Motivation To Those Who Ar

[Shadow]

As to your second question: **YES**, I *would* buy a cheaper Core Duo MacBook even if a Core 2 Duo model was already available. In fact, I'm hoping even after Apple upgrades the MacBooks to Core 2 Duo, they will keep a Core Duo base model for $999. That's the model I would buy, and that's the model I would recommend to all my friends (who are casual/home users like me).

The MacBook is an excellent computer. I use mine for absolutley everything-its my main machine. That includes MSN, iTunes, Safari, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, iPhoto, iMovie, everything. I can run every single one of my apps at once and it'll still chug along without evn blinking. Impressed.
