Having used PC's for 12+ years now, moving to the mac was more of a whim, but we'll say a well-informed whim. I bought this model because it was on the lower end of the price spectrum and I wanted a portable computer to check email, do some light browsing. Having looked at the netbooks on the PC end of things, I was not impressed with quality, when my eyes landed on this, I was almost immediatly sold.

I've had the MacBook now for about a week and I have done everything from edit video to publish web sites with it and so far I am very impressed. My only regret is that the screen is a bit on the small side, but having it that small allows me to stuff it in my laptop bag with my other laptop and still have room.
