screen -Available in black or white -64mb GMA950 integrated graphics :( -iSight built-in (wifi, bluetooth, etc. too) -Max 6 hour battery life (3.5 with wifi on, 2.5 watching a DVD) -No keyboard backlight (small thing) -No expansion ports (ExpressCard or PCMCIA) -2-button feature: Activate in mouse prefs; enables 2 fingers on the trackpad plus a click to equal a right-click (not tested by me yet) -AppleCare is a good thing for laptops. You can purchase AppleCare anytime during the first year of owning your laptop; many people wait until the last month of the first year to purchase it, thus extending their warranty coverage by an extra year (1st year + 3 years vs. 1st year including 3 years) [/QUOTE]
