I'm now the proud owner of a new 2.0 Ghz core 2 Duo Macbook; purchased June 12, 2007, sold to me Thursday, Aug 16. with all original disks, box etc. It was a deal I just couldn't pass up. I don't need the ability to run Windoze, but the extra speed sure helps with Photoshop Elements & i Photo, the 2 programmes I use most. I'm sure from what I've read that it will help run Pages better too. The plus side for me is the design changes from my G4 1.5 Ghz Powerbook. Apple recessed the keyboard so that the top of the keys do not mark the screen & I much prefer the white keyboard. I also like the latch, or apparent lack of one, it's much easier to open with an indentation compared to the push in lock. The negative side is that it is 1" wider & 0.6 pounds heavier, a fairly significant issue when one travels by plane. So far performance is quite noticeable, but time will tell. Just my initial reaction.
