«I returned it»
I ordered my MacBook to record music. The cd drive was grinding against the inside of the case. The Apple CoreAudio driver doesn't work with my firewire interfaces (FA-66 and FA-101) with Audacity. I tried to put Windows on it cause I know the Win drivers work, but bootcamp doesn't load either.
So I returned it. Amazon were really great about the return. Things went smoothly, and I got my money back.
I'll not get another Apple any time soon, but I will definitely buy from Amazon more often.

«Get a Macbook Pro or new Macbook instead»
Owned this model (Black Macbook) for 2 weeks. Could not get over how annoying and painful the palm rests were. It was crazy. I would immediately feel the edge of the palm rest digging into my wrists. And no, my method of typing was not the issue, it was the palm rest itself which are strangely sharp. I was also not so impressed with the screen itself. The only way I can describe it was that I felt it was not as sharp as the Dell Inspiron notebook I was using prior. The pros were of course it's a Mac and it's lightweight.
I ended up purchasing a Macbook Pro months later and absolutely love it. If a Macbook Pro is too pricey for you, check out the new aluminum macbooks. Half a pound lighter and they seem to be much easier on the wrists.

«Good computer, but Don't buy from Amazon.»
Apple MacBook MB404LL/A 13.3-inch Laptop (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive) Black
A good laptop overall! Not as much battery time as the G4 and I replaced the battery for this within a week at the Apple store for free. My biggest disappointment however is that I bought it from Amazon as they not only will not honor the rebate that they told me to wait 30 days for... They are now selling the laptop for $150.00 less, and will also not honor the price drop.
My advice is to buy it directly from Apple as they have reduced prices on the item and the service is obviously better.
