Okay, I know what I want for my birthday, now.

Apple just introduced the new MacBook, its replacement for the iBook series of laptops. Priced from $1,000 to $1,500, the MacBook looks like the perfect consumer laptop computer. It's got everything you could need already built in. And it's using the Intel Core Duo chip so you can dual-boot it with, Heaven forbid, Windows. Looks to be another home run for the folks in Cupertino. Nice work. I just hope it will outlast its 12-month warranty period (unlike my recently deceased iPod Photo—I made it under warranty by a mere 3 days!). Little help, Steve...?
