I found OSX's sheen wore off fairly quickly. They are well built
machines but make sure you research it properly. No drivers for
built-in wireless, sleep only works on non-nvidia models (ibook uses
ati I think). Also no recent release of java, no flash plugin, no 3d
acceleration etc. If these dont bother you they are an excellent
machine. Mac-On-Linux fairly rocks aswell (if you need that type of
thing).
