I think the Macbook is very compeditive with the ThinkPad and depending on your needs it might even be better. There are pros and cons to both. Macs are actually priced pretty close to PC's these days. Sure you can get a dirt cheap Dell or IBM but if you compair simalar specs the prices are simalar at least from what I have seen.

Matteh99, what was the resolution of the ThinkPad? the MacBook is 1280x800 currently.
also the graphic card in the ThinkPad are far superior, the Intel shared graphic card is better than the old 32mb PPC iBook, but still not as advanced as some laptop in the same price range.
I'm still getting a MacBook anyway, the 2Ghz white one, the G4 PowerBook I have is slower than a Citroen AX.
Matteh99:
The resoution of the thinkpad is 1400x1050 which is alot higher than the Macbook's.
Neither the Macbook or the Thinkpad are significantly better than the other. I would say that which one is better depends on your needs.
I would get a macbook over the thinkpad mainly because I can run OS X or windows or linux on the macbook but I am stuck with windows or linux on the thinkpad.
I accutally just got a 1.83 ghz Macbook Pro and it is a heck of a lot faster than my old iMac G5.

i did notice that my iMac 1.83GHz somehow render H.264 1080p movie from Apple.com MUCH better than the family's iMac G5 2.0GHz
bilmey them PPC are that bad.
yes, I will also get a MacBook, thought the resolution a tad low and want the IBM 1440x1050, the bonus is that if you do the math, the MacBook is actually cheaper because you can able to run both Windows XP and OS X legally.
