Mine should be to me by Friday and I have a refurb showing up at my house on Monday.
Now all I need to do is sell my iBook.
Now all I need to do is sell my iBook.i purchased my new macbook on saturday. Referb blackbook. im so excited and f'in fedex hasn't updated the tracking info in 3 days. this will be my first mac since my apple IIe.
i have a quick question...i searched the forums but didnt find anything.
i am going to be purchasing the new macbook soon and was just wondering...if you have the macbook on your lap for about say an hour...running basic stuff...like safari and iChat does it get too uncomfortable for it to stay on your lap, does the temp get too hot or no? thanks if you could answer!

It gets hot but not that hot. I use it all the time on my lap with no problems
I'm new to the whole mac thing and don't know a whole lot about mac books, but I am thinking of buying one because i want to make the switch. Should I wait for Leopard/ I don't need one now but if it's not worth it to wait i wouldn't mind picking one up now. Thanks a lot.
Exactly, just convinced my mum to switch this weekend and am getting it this week hopefully. Going to get the lowest spec MacBook, and upgrade the HDD to 120GB so she can dual-boot and have enough space on each side.
I think she'll be much happier with a mac.
amazon or macmall
Hey Guys, Did anyone use Amazon or MacMall when they bought their newly updated MB within a day or two of the release? Did it show up quickly or was there a delay? I'm going to be buying a MBP as soon as they update and I want to save on tax and rebates, but I also don't want to be waiting 4 weeks for the computer...any personal experiences?

Somethings wrong
Well the new blackbook is running into some problems. Started couple of days ago when the wireless just shut off while I was running torrents via transmission. When I try to disable then enable airport it still doesn't connect. The only way it reconnects is after I put it to sleep and then bring it back, or a restart. Also when I take out the power plug put it tells me that the battery life is only 1:40 when it's fully charged. AND the computer runs red hot... and the fan just runs all the time now... **** I don't know what I did. Do you have to calibrate this battery? I didn't read anything in the manual about it. I've been installing lots of programs and leaving the laptop on while I'm at work...
Has anyone had these problems with the new macbooks?

no probs here with rev 3 blackbook. although sometimes when i wake from sleep the wireless is not connected?
perhaps get it checked out at apple?
this is probably a little late, but i got my first mac last week!
Congratulations, how you liking it ?
I'm going to buy the old MacBook or MacBook Pro, depending on how much discount the old MBPs will get after introducing a new model, which should happen pretty soon, shouldn't it?
Anyway, I'm still wondering, should I buy additinoal gigabyte or RAMs or not? How is it trying to put some extra RAMs yourself? Are they 1x1024 or 2x512?

If you want to do any kind of gaming on the Windows side, you'll want a MBP. Everything else a MB is fine for. You have to buy 2x1GB as there is 2x512MB in there. Installing is easy, took me probably 5 minutes to do. Just need 1 Phillips '0' screwdriver.

It's great! A little different, i'm still trying to figure things out, but this forum has been very useful.
