Good: Thin, gorgeous, light, runs Mac OS X and Windows

Bad: What's not to like?

Comment: I think this is a great machine - it's not as pricey as CNET makes out. Run Mac OS X - which is better than Windows, or run poor old Windows if you must. Best of both worlds! What PC laptop comes with a built-in web cam? Apple's Front Row might not offer all the power of Windows Media Centre, but it works very well and you can add the additional functionality with a simple USB TV tuner.

Good: Speed, ease of use, looks, screen size, low weight, ability to run Windows

Bad: Can't think of anything I don't like

Comment: If you need a portable replacement for a desktop, I cannot think of a better machine than this.

Good: Speed, screen size, hard drive, 64-bit processing

Bad: Extra cost for 3GB RAM.

Comment: I have been using this computer for 4 months, and it is the best Mac I have ever owned, dating back to 1984. I prefer it to my Quad Core G5. Performance is very good, especially with PhotoShop CS3 beta, Mathematica, and other CPU intensive applications.
