My MacBook just arrived this week, and seems pretty usable with 512meg. Yes, I do get the spinning beachball occasionally, but does it less frequently than my 2-year-old Powerbook 12" with 768meg and it is generally faster otherwise. I was actually kinda embarrassed when the winning eBay bidder turned up to collect and I was showing him something & the beachball came on, I intend to upgrade the RAM on the MacBook fairly soon, but since I'll max it I'm in no hurry for the expense. Stroller.
