sweet laptops.

Very good price for a laptop with those specs but they should have given the choice of either black or white for all three models and the keyboard looks a bit weird, not natural at all. Still, can't beat the price.

keyboard is the same as any mac laptop.

Don't know why black is the more expensive. Marketing I guess. Personally like the black, reminds me of the best looking mac laptop of all time, the 'Pismo'.

Actually, the keyboard's construction is different.

I am not crazy about the glossy, highly light reflective display coating, however. Big problems with that stuff. Overall, however, a great laptop. The Intel Integrated graphics are a slight mark against it -- slight only because it is a low-end laptop (MacBook Pro has dedicated 128MB GPU). I'm surprised that they don;t offer a single core CPU model. They could have broken the US$999.00 barrier with that.

ah so it is. I couldn't tell from the apple pics.
