I just went to the local Apple Store and bought a new aluminum MacBook! It has a 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB DDR3 1066Mhz RAM, and 160GB HDD. Some people may think you need the top-of-the-line model, but I do not.

Update: Some of the features that I greatly enjoy (after using it for about a week) are the glass trackpad (with multitouch gestures: amazing!), the ambient light sensor for the display, and the chicklet keyboard (lowers errors and improves typing speeds in my opinion). Maybe sometime I’ll write a full review, but for now, all I have to say is that I would rate it a 4.5/5!
