[QUOTE="mab, post: 599290, member: 28419"] Like the others said, if you can live without the backlit keyboard, I would go with the Macbook. You could get an even better deal by buying a refurbished one, and adding extra RAM yourself. I have a 2.0Ghz, black Macbook with 2GB RAM, and use it mostly for email, internet, itunes, pictures, spreadsheets, documents, and playing videos while traveling. I don't think I ever come close to really tapping the max ability of this machine, and I use it every day. I originally wanted the backlit keyborad, but cannot think of a situation in the last year where I've been unable to use the laptop because of not having this feature. I think at the time, I was more impressed with the "coolness" of it, though in general, I think the cool factor is high anyway with any of the Mac laptops. [/QUOTE]
