The new aluminum MacBook arrived this week. This time no Pro verion but the cheaper (and smaller) MacBook. Initial impressions are good... really good.
The only drawbacks are directly related to the fact that I was too cheap to buy the more expensive version. The keyboard color is white letters on black keys (this was black letter on 'silver' or white keys). This makes it harder to read them in low light conditions. So not having the backlit keyboard is a bit annoying.
Also, the lack of an USB port on the right-side of the MacBook is annoying. The cable of my mighty mouse is too short to get from the left-side USB port to the right-side where I use it.
MacBook for LeftiesBest (free) configuration option is the US keyboard. Finally a 'normal' keyboard on the MacBooks.
