They are good for small development but you should try to convince your boss to get a pro instead. Samantha has a MacBook and it serves her purposes just fine. We needed to upgrade the RAM a little while back but other then that its good. Slow on the load when you have multiple apps open, and I don't recommend using spaces with a macbook, just doesn't have the power. In all Bryan's Pro is better then mine. I opted for the 2.2 ghz and 1 gb ram because it was affordable to me at the time. Bryan also makes good points regarding the parallels etc. I use bootcamp because I use windows to play games as well, don't know how that would work with Parallels. Keep us updated on the iPhone saga. I'm still waiting till they put a camera on the iTouch, then I might join the darkside further. A MacBook eh?
