Yes its 100% true and rumors say its coming out in 30 or 40 days like in June or maybe even sooner. Its going to be called the Macbook just like the Macbook Pro but without the pro and many say its going to come in two colors. So you should wait because its coming pretty soon.

Get something reliable.  Check out CNET for reviews by editors and customers.  Toshiba and Fujitsu have great reliability.  The Lenovo Thinkpad (formerly IBM Thinkpad) is nice.  Get internal wireless, big RAM size, and a decent size HDD.  Don't get a Compaq, Dell, or HP.  Also, if you are considering a Mac, look at what software you will need and if it is available for Mac.  Then look at what it will cost to fix your Mac.  Is is worth it?  Probably not, but they are nice, just not compatible with everything.  Good luck.

go with the dell. MS systems are cheaper in the long run and despite the multitude of short comings they reboot after a crash I have a few apple friends and they are always rebuilding their system. that's fine for geeks not so good for students. If your using it for photo editing I'm told nothing beats a mac.

I recently switched to using a mac, and I love it. I immediately noticed that I was more productive. I can spend 3 hours on my newer PC P2 2Ghz, then spend 3 hours on my mac g3 333, and somehow on my older mac I have written 50+ pages or completed a research project in the same time I may have finished 10 pages on the PC.\nWith a mac everything really does "just work" I haven't had to spend hours looking for drivers, downloading many many programs to find one that works well, I haven't had as much reason to worry about viruses, all my work is encrypted and saved for only me, even though there are several others who use the mac regularly they can't access my work.\nOn my Mac I can use graphically attractive font's like "Adobe Garamond" which was used in the printing of harry-pottter books.\nand I don't have to spend any extra money for a font-pack. \nWith the i-life suite from apple, I can handle itunes music, make my own music, handle photos, edit home-videos. And with the literally hundreds of small things that help you at every moment when using the mac, like spell-check inside of almost every editor, integrated search functionality with spotlight and limitless other little things.\nSo for me the new i-macs are perfect offering every functionality I could possibly need, and with the support for windows integrated I don't need 2 machines anymore.\nIt's also amazing to me that Microsoft couldn't create anything new with windows vista. Vista is a lesser copy of Mac OS X, and I can imagine that after vista is released and apple releases jaguar in a month or 2 apple will show they have innovated, they didn't have to copy anyone.

The official answer is no - Apple generally will not allow a return of more then 30 days and even if returned within that time they charge a 10% retocking fee.\n\nYou will be able to sell it as they are quite popular (email me with what you want if you like as I am in the market for a nice powerbook G4)  The only downfall is that today, the new macbooks were released at the lowest price a mac laptop has ever been sold for with a duo core processor - (1099 for the base model) so it pretty much outperforms the powerbooks - only people (like me) who prefer the PowerPC processors will find much of a value in the powerbook models.\n\nEmail me if you are interested in selling it.\n\nThanks

There are several differences between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro.  Rather than going into detail, I'll give you the long and short of it.  It's mainly about Image and a little about performance.  MacBooks have a  plastic case rather than metal, smaller screen, no elegent grill with "hidden" speakers, no backlit keyboard, no ambient light sensor, a mini-DVI port instead of a standard sized.  Most of these things are trivial to to the average person, but someone in a business environment, a MacBook would look more like a toy than the professional-looking MacBook Pro.  That's how Apple has designed and promoted these two machines.  Remember, "Form follows Function."\n\nAs far as the guts go, the Pro can be configured for more power (up to 2.16 GHz currently), a faster hard drive(7200), a Firewire 800 on the 17", and they have larger displays with more pixels.  The graphics cards are different, too.  The MacBook's video card shares it's memory with System memory.  I'm not exactly sure the pros and cons, but if you were working with RAM extensive programs, or an avid gamer, this may be a problem.\n\nBasically, you haev to decide what your intentions are and where you're going to be using the machine.\n\nAs far as internet connection goes, both computers have wireless internet (Airport/Wi-fi).  They also both have Bluetooth if that's your thing.  The USB modem is available for around $50, or you can use the Airport Extreame to connect with your dial-up wirelessly.

No CD burner?  that person's on crack!  I have a 15" Macbook Pro 2.0 GHz/256 MB VRAM, with 2 GB RAM and 100 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive. Oh, yeah.. and a SUPERDRIVE (DVD -R -RW +R +RW and CD -R -RW).  I sold my Dual 1.8 GHz G5 tower, and have UPGRADED in power and performance.  My system runs very smoothly.  I've taken it apart.  Its thin, lightweight, good screen quality, ect.  Warmth of the machine depends on how much air it gets and the temperature of the room.  At home it's hot, but at school and even outside with a breeze, it stays cool.  The design of it is exelent.  My dad's HP notebook is almost twice as thick, twice as heavy, I always hit the disk eject button on the side, and the fans are on the BOTTOM where your legs go!  Macbook Pro is good.

I bought the e1505 a couple of months ago and I am thrilled with it.  Fantastic performance and a great price.  I have no experience with the Macbook Pro, but I give the Dell laptop a strong recommendation.

1)Reliability.  Macs have the lowest out of the box failure rate of all companies.\n\n2)Support.  Apple support is far superior to any support from any other company. If  I have a problem with my Mac, I go on the internet, schedule an appointment at the genius bar at the nearest Apple store, Go there and an Apple Genius fixes it right before your very eyes and if I have questions, the questions get answered.  I do not sit on the phone on hold for hours and then end up with a person who speaks English poorly at best.\n\n3) Vista ( the next release of Windows OS) has  many MAC OS X like features because OS X is clearly a better, friendlier operating system.  Oh, BTW, The next version of Mac OS will be out months before Vista, putting MS behind once again.\n\n4)Apple controls it machine configurations, the software is tested on specific hardware.  It is optimized for that hardware.  Windows has a wider variety of hardware to pick from,  and it is called Plug n Pray for a reason and that is it may not really be as easy to install as one thinks it would be.\n\nWindows might be needed because some of the companies don't write for the Mac OS, because the customer base is not as large. I have only found 1 program that I want that is Windows only and I found a suitable substitute.  Many people are concerned about gaming on the Mac, but hey, do you want a good stable reliable computer with great service or a violent game?\n\nMore and more people are buying Apples with a good reason, they are easier to use and more reliable.  You may spend a few dollars more upfront but you get what you pay for.  \n\nIn 2005 Apple won notebook of the year, desktop of the year and server of the year. I think that says it all! Oh and don't forget the iPod!

Get a copy of PC World magazine and open to ad for new PC's. Leave in an area where your MAC can see it. I think the problem will cure itself.

Apple gives pretty good discount to students, but i'm not sure about non-profit.  The student store is convieniently online.\n\nThe question of a MacBook Pro being good for video editing depends on your needs.  It is a good mobile solution, but doesn't leave you with much hard drive space to work with.  In my case, I have the 15" MacBook Pro with a 2.0 GHz Intel.....100 GB 7200 RPM hard drive.  I chose the 7200 because it's better for video, but my primary purpose was school, where i need to pull things up quickly and save quickly.  By the time the OS was installed, Final Cut Studio (everything = 46 GB installed), 12 GB of music, and a few pictures, i only had 20 Gig left for video!  For smaller projects, that's fine, but as for everything else, it's externa.  I usually edit at home anyways, because editing at school or whereever else I am doesn't work out.  I have to have my SD monitor and either my large speakers or my large headphones.  If you weren't mobile all the time like I am, i would recommend an iMac for your price range.  You get a lot more hard drive space, and a larger monitor for less money.
