It's a huge improvement over my second gen. 12" PowerBook :) The only thing that's taking some getting used to is the keyboard; I'm <em>so</em> not used to having the extra realestate on the sides of the unit. I keep moving my hands to the outer edges and it throws off my typing. That, and my GMail notifier doesn't seem to want to work correctly, even though it's the Universal version. Whatever though. I don't play video games at all, so I can't relate to your impressions of Warcraft framerates--I needed the upgrade for the power to handle all of the RAW files I'm shooting these days :) All in all, I'm happy to have spent the money.

I love mine. You should see my framerates in WoW. Wicked.</p> <p>Anyway, let me know how you like it. And yeah, I use that theme as well, but the widgets (the form fields and buttons, etc) aren't as nice as in Camino or Safari. Hopefully that'll change soon.</p> So you’re liking your new system?

But you mentioned you were looking for a "widget" to make the browser look more like safari? I'm not sure what you mean by "widget", but my preferred theme is from http://takebacktheweb.org/ --I use "Grapple (Eos)", but you might want to scroll down a bit and check out "GrApple (Brushed)" :)</p> My Macbook finally arrived :D I can’t tell if deer park is faster, since everything is faster for me now.

Maybe this is silly, but I wonder if all universal binaries will run faster…?
