brassplayers....those are wrist marks and finger prints. Bummer....its doesnt really show up unless under serious light....like a flash. On my powerbook I always used a Mr. Clean Magic Earaser on the computer to get rid of smudges and such on the trackpad and hood. The Mr. Clean's don't show any signs of any chemicals...but I'd be a little nervous about cleaning with it on the black finish. Maybe someone else has used this on their Macbook already? Or maybe someone can give me and answer to my concern. Thanks guys! Let me know if you want more pics...I'd be happy to take more if need be.

This is what I saw at The Apple Store with the black model. I didn't see it with the white one, however. For me that's a negative, though the black is nice is other ways. Anyway, thanks for the pictures, PJ and enjoy your new MacBook!

I finally got my hands on the blacbook - before going to see Da Vinci Code. There was a ton of finger smears. I loved the screen / etc. The keyboard was kind of funky and the space bar....Well, it was a little "Clacky" Thats the sound it made to me. I think I may wait for Meron.

The packaging is really cool, but the Apple remote in that sealed bag gives a very mass produced feel - my iMac CD has a very posh rectangular box that contained the remote, manual and disc, much nicer than a sealed packet tossed into the front of the box

I'm happy with my camera. For a shot without flash, that's the kind of detail (or blur) that I would expect. I have a larger version of this as my desktop background. It looks much better blurred than it would look if it were sharper, and the Apple logos are more prominent.

Honestly, please tell me what the point of having that many laptops is...

Honestly, they're not all mine.

One is mine. The other three belong to each of my three friends who are sitting on the couch behind them.

It's a term I've seen used on a bunch of forums.

Basically it's when you don't read an entire thread before posting, then you end up posting the same thing that someone else did.

Zign was that an intel iMac?

icruise · May 21, 2006, 09:17 PM

No iSight, so it can't be an Intel.

It's a G5 2Ghz (rev.b)

To go a bit off-topic here, Zign, are you happy that you have replaced a desktop/laptop by a powerful laptop?
