From Apple's site:
MacBook - $1099
T2400 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
512 MB RAM - 667 DDR2
Height: 1.08 inches
1280x800, supports up to 1920x1200 on external display (at the same time)
60GB Serial ATA
Built-in iSight camera
Remote control (for iTunes, Front Row, presentations, etc)
Wireless & Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
Firewire & USB 2
Optical digital audio in/out (as well as traditional analog in/out & built-in mic.)
Scrolling Trackpad
Mac OS X (Tiger, 10.4.6)
iLife (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand)
Omni Outliner

Personal experience: I have a 1.83 MacBook w/ 1GB of RAM and everything just flies, period. It's also extremely silent, and the keyboard feels extremely comfortable. 5.2 pounds isn't exactly 'light', but not annoying either.
Battery life is GREAT, I get 5-5 and a half hours under normal usage.

About that E1405 Dell post: At that price (actually, a bit more, according to Dell's site, $200 rebate and all), it doesn't have a T2300 Core Duo, it has a 1.67GHz T1300 Core Solo.

I configured an Inspiron E1405 Dual Core with a 1.83 T2400 Core Duo, Bluetooth & a bare minimum software bundle (WordPerfect) and it comes out at $1,176, after a $300 rebate, and that's without a remote, XP Pro or a built-in cam. The MacBook's $1099 doesn't sound that bad, does it? Oh, and the Dell is also heavier and 38% thicker... ;-)

The Toshiba Satellite M105-3011 does not appear on Toshiba's site though, so I can't compare that (they only have the M!05-3012, at $1199.99, th M105-3004 at $1249.99 and the M105-3001 (Core Solo) at $999.99)]]>Jun 24th 2006 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/24/toshiba-satellite-m105-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/24/toshiba-satellite-m105-reviewed/Jun 24th 2006 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/24/toshiba-satellite-m105-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/24/toshiba-satellite-m105-reviewed/

@Mattisdada: You can't compare a Pentium D (Pentium 4 architecture) with a Core Duo (Pentium M architecture) on a MHz basis - the Core architecture does a LOT more in each cycle than the P4, by design.
