15.4-inch TFT display with 1440x900 resolution

1.83GHz Intel Core Duo processor with 2MB shared L2 Cache

667MHz frontside bus

1GB (single SO-DIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300)

100GB 5400rpm Serial ATA hard drive

Slot-load SuperDrive (DVD?RW/CD-RW)

ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256MB GDDR3 memory>

Only thing is it wont ship till 24 Feb:oo So I will be waiting a whole month. I'm gonna go insane:rofl:: :rolleyes:: I did however save myself ?300 by ordering via the UK HE store:whistle:e::shifty:y:

[hotdog666al]

You lucky bastards :p

[mayamaniac]

Nice purchase. :)

How much did it cost?

I would love to see comparison between macbook and Dell's Inspiron E1705, dual-core shootout. The Dell aint bad with SATA also and a 7800 Go 256M and I think its available now.

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

Wow i'm jelous! I can't even raise the funds for a Mac Mini atm! :(

[crazzyyfool]

Nice purchase. :)

How much did it cost?

Cost ?1,512.23 inc UK tax (VAT) and free shipping. ?1,287.00 without VAT. Thats with the UK HE discount:D:D:whistle:e:;);)

[sickmachine]

Congrats on your new toy. I can't wait for the new Intel iBooks to be introduced. Enjoy when you get it.

[crazzyyfool]

I'm sure many will beat me to it, but I will do a review and post lots of lovely pics. ;) :p :D

[Knight']

Those intel Mac's do look pretty powerful, enjoy :-)

[Windam]

I've changed my mind, I'm going for the macbook model instead of the pro. Reason is that I can buy more peripherials such as a digital camera etc.
