I was just wondering if anybody had purchased the 13 in MB, and if so I was wondering how you liked it....
- How does it work with dual (even tripple) booting
- I know it doesn't have a graphics card, but can it handle something like
WoW (comparable to powerbook?)
- Also just overall how much you like it

Basically I want it for school, and I would like it to be small.... but at the same time I want it to be fast and very usable for development and the likes.... so I am worried about the fact that it doesn't have a dedicated graphics card....

Any input would be appriciated...

Thanks in advance,
- Jon

Since it essentialy is "a portable Mini" with a Faster Processor....

Same Chipset, Same intergrade Graphics, Same amount of stock Ram, same Notebook performance magnetical and optical drives.....

Whatever info you can find on "WoW Mini Performance" is about 1:1 substitutable for "WoW MacBook Performance"....if the Mini was run at 1280x800.

As for 2D Performance.....if the Mini can Playback full 1080i at 60 FPS without any drops, so can a Macbook at even faster CPU Speeds with the same Graphics Capabilities.

Though this might not be the thing for "the serious gamer" who needs every option maxed out and decent FPS....on, well....FPS games ;)

This can do most everything you'd expect from a "workhorse"...and can do a bit gaming on the side....not too impresive tho
