I just bought a Macbook...
And the sticker shock has me feeling like jello. :wow:

But I can already tell that I'm going to love it.

1. You got a Mac.
I have been thinking about getting one next time.

Congrats.

2. I've been enjoying my Macbook for four months now.
Sometimes spending more is better. ;)

11. Faster bootup, faster shutdown, faster sleep, faster app usage, faster everything, no registry, no
NTFS, nothing that magically gets corrupted...

Aluminum body dissipates heat better than plastic PCs...

No preinstalled crapware that's there solely to subsidize the cost of the machine...

6. I just installed Snow Leopard yesterday
I thought my Mac was fast before, but now it is lightening fast. You will enjoy your Macbook.

8. So it's worth the cost to upgrade?
I may have to consider getting it. It's only $29, isn't it?

9. That's all. It is way worth it.
I took it for a stress test spin this afternoon. At one point I had over 500 Safari windows open and I was amazed that they were all open and available.

10. Seconded. Regular Leopard just shows what bloatware garbage Vista was... never mind Snow Leopard!
