I add myself to the list of folks who will probably buy a Macbook soon
and run linux primarily on it. It's a simple question of economics and
quality hardware at this point. I do run a PB 12" right now with OS X
and I do like it (it's better than linux on this laptop, due to hardware
issues).
The quality in the HW is an interesting statement considering all the
heat problems macs still have despite a low power chip. A simple failure
in the manufacturing process in their application of thermal paste is
pretty shoddy work to tack together your high quality hardware. I'm glad
I'm not a MacBook Pro guinea pig with the whine and the battery issues.
That said, I'll weigh my options by the time school comes around and the
plain MacBook issues shake out. Then I'll probably buy a black one. The
form factor is so much incredibly cleaner than anything on the market.
As far as I'm concerned I've just been waiting for them to get up to speed.
