Apple Announces Updated MacBook and MacBook Pros

Apple today has announced updated models of their MacBook and MacBook Pro line of notebooks. I happen to be very excited about this as I plan to buy a MacBook, and now I can see that they are getting better as I wait. This is also good for some people who like Linux, strangely enough. Some people, particularly people from the Full Circle Magazine, have said that sticking Ubuntu on a MacBook is actually a great buy than, let's say, a System76 laptop. Now, if I buy I a Mac, I don't plan on sticking Ubuntu on it (or I might, who knows?), but if I get a Mac, I probably stick Ubuntu on my PC again, even though I had trouble getting it to work properly.

Anyway, I am excited that they made the MacBook and MacBook Pro a more attractive deal to consumers.

Hi, this is Jonathan
You can put Ubuntu and Windows Vista altogether with Leopard. I going to buy Parallel Desktop which is better that Boot Camp for the reason that with Parallel Desktop you can have Ubuntu and other OS as icons in your macbook desktop rather than having to boot again.

Keep up your good work!!!

Hey Jonathan, I recommend VMWare Fusion. I heard it's much faster and can take advantage of multi-core processors.

I agree that using Ubuntu and Vista as VMs together with Leopard is a great choice. Hope to do that some day.
