I completely disagree with the keyboard assessment. It was one of the big selling points for me. The keyboard is beautiful. I've never typed on something so satisfying (nerdy, but true).
And strange as it may seem, the white MacBooks seem to have a different key weight than the black one (yes, I bought black -- the price difference didn't matter to me). My gf has the white one and it isn't the same. The mouse button also feels a bit squishy on hers. There are a few problems that I forgot to mention. The speakers are terrible. I can't stand them. They do not go nearly loud enough. Of course there is the headphone jack, so I use that regularly. I personally don't use BootCamp, but my gf does, and it seems a bit unstable but mostly usable. It crashes maybe once every 4 or 5 times she uses it, and it isn't a complete system crash, so you can still save (the screen starts flashing wildly). I'm sure the next version will fix that. Objective-C and XCode is also great fun. It was cool to see what the other side offers developers, and how different it is. Interface Builder is perhaps the best GUI design tool I've ever used. And their approach to right click (two fingers on the track pad then click) is so cool. Scrolling with two fingers is also great. I never in a million years thought I could deal with using a trackpad, but I have a laptop mouse and it never even comes out of the bag anymore. That's all I can think of.
