    Hey,
    I visited 2 mac stores today in Toronto, and it seems that Macbook pros are finally for sale. The first shipments are already sold out, but i should hopefully get one from the next shipment at the end of the week. My question is, who's got a Macbook, and what are they really like? Should i buy one? Please share your thoughts.

    Thanks

    They may have them in stores but I don't believe any have shipped to customers yet. Apple announced a delay in shipping (until March) shortly after announcing the CPU upgrade.

    Mine arrive yesterday. Typing this on it right now with Windows 2000 installing in Qemu in the background. Battery life sucks (it really isn't great at all) and I can't get Movie Trailers to work, but other then that it is perfect.

    you say that your battery life sucks, but can you give some actual real-world run down figures? Also, for anyone else who may have a Macbook, what are you guys getting as far as battery life?
