I have a 2GHz 2GB BlackBook. I am a mac newbie, so I don't know what blazing fast is in mac terms. The system is a tad sluggish at times, but I hear it's an OSX thing. Adobe/Macromedia progs are unacceptably (for me) slow, especially when used together. 3 of them at a time can even freeze the system. They do crash from time to time, or make the system so slow it needs restarting.
I never installed the firmware update that turns the fans on at all times, I don't care about the computer getting hot, I hate fan noise.
To avoid shutdowns (have been getting them for some time) I have to boot the computer in 1GHz mode. Strange, cause the shutdowns don't seem to be overheating related - they often happen at boot time.I am getting a mini now before sending the laptop to apple, cause they're known to be slow in Ireland and I need a mac/win machine.
When fixing it, they sure will install the fan spinning firmware update. I will probably sell the macbook when it's fixed and get another one when they learn how to make them properly.
It's a nice computer after all and I really like it, even when it's hard to :)
