Anyway, it seems that Apple will introduce new MacBooks, not sure if pro or not, on September 25th.
So I'd wait a little loner if I were you.

I'd wait until core 2 duo, they run supposedly cooler.
My macbook introduced me to random shutdown syndrome recently, here's a recap of people's findings:

quite slow... you'll need the 2 GB memory...

Wait for the following.
1. Adobe to Release updates for their programs. Under Rosetta they run about the same speed as on a G4.
2. Wait for the Core 2.
Then you will be fine.

Well, I guess since it runs about the same as a G4 then you really arent Losing anything, just not gaining much at all. But other apps do run much faster.
So ya, Wait for the Core 2 Duo at the very least.

I wouldnt buy a 1st Gen macbook though, def wait till ............................the updates are out and its all a bit more reliable.
My "from last batch made" ibook is the most reliable little machine ive ever had.

I am in need for a lappy, but I am also waiting for the core 2 duo.
it has to be said though that i hate the macbook. The glossy screen, the fat border around the screen are a big turn off. I though it would turn out much more sleeker :/
Can't afford a Macbook Pro sadly.
- Mattiadesign0
Not my time! I'll wait until all the pro apps are universal! I know that Cs2, After Effects, and the others are pretty slow under Rosetta.
So until then, no MacBook Pro for me!

Yeah, hold off until the next wave of MacBooks. No sense buying one that's going to be randomly shutting down.

try apple refurbished store, there are mbp's for $1600 afair

If it was a fact that buying a Macbook pro meant losing 10 years of your life PEOPLE WOULD STILL BUY THEM

The best brand in the world is a company that sells ortophosphoric acid with caffeine and enormous amount of sugar (or toxic aspartam) in it. I find this more amusing.

I personally think the MB's look alot nicer than the MBP's, At least the 'fat border' is even all the way around. The MBP has think sides and fat top border for the isight which in my opinion makes them look tacky. built in isight is a stupid.

Anyone know of any crazy financing offers? I only have the $$ for a Macbook, but I really want to hit up a Macbook Pro.

well ive been umming and ahhing between the macbook and macbook pro for a while now, and i think im goin to go for a macbook--> and definitely waiting til the new ones come out. really hoping this is true about september 25th, that got me excited! i cant justify the expense of a mbp. will get lots of ram put into a macbook though.
