  | So while we're on the subject of Apple hardware, I suppose everyone is up to speed on this week release of the MAcBook. I've seen lots of postings on the web and plenty of flickr unwrapping photos but I've yet to see one in the flesh!. I do think that they've priced them pretty competitively considering the high spec of the machines with the Intel Core Duo, the isight, bluetooth and wireless included, gigabit ethernet and digital audio. Delivery from the UL apple store is showing 3-5 days for the white models and 5-7 for the black. I think the jury is out on the rather high price differential on the Black model but if people are willing to pay a premium price for the black model (and I think some will) you can't fault Apple as they're in business to make money.
I noticed as well a video on the internet showing how to upgrade the memory an the hard drive - it looks really easy.
One final point, the scrolling trackpad on both the MacBook Pro and the MacBook are superb. One of the issues I thought I'd have is the absence of a right mouse button on the trackpad. I tend to use extensive use of the right click. Well, the trackpad has a really smart feature you can switch on whereby if you tap the trackpad with two fingers, it triggers a right click or ctrl click. The two fingered scrolling is also really neat in that if you're in an application with scroll bars just drag up or down or left or right with two fingers and the application scrolls. I love it!
