i didn't return it, so the macbook is a keeper. ironically, the tipping point was installing windows vista on the second partition. the partitioning and installation went perfectly. vista works like a charm. its very fast and works more or less exactly the way i expect it to. i've only used vista to study languages and remote desktop to my work computer, but knowing that it is there really helped.
the further irony is that i'm writing this post from my tried and true thinkpad. it's never failed me.
my hope is that further system updates will resolve the remaining problems with the macbook.
see recent angst for these. also see recent happiness for happier thoughts.

i got a new macbook last week. it is a 2.2ghz white with 1gb of ram and 120gb hard drive running OS X 10.5.1. i'm not convinced i love it more than my old thinkpad which runs windows xp pro. so i'm blogging about all the stuff i am encountering that i didn't expect on the mac and how some of it stacks up against the xp pc.
