[iBook] OT: MacBook (not iBook) speaker problems?

[Michael Elliott]

I've been a silent reader of this list for a while, back when it was  
the "P1" list :-)  But are there any of the new MacBook readers on here?

I seem to recall that the original MacBooks were known to have very  
poor speaker volume.  I'm looking to upgrade to the new MacBooks with  
the Core 2 Duo processor, but I do a lot of iChat  
videoconferencing...and was wondering how the speakers are.   
(Realizing that the MacBook IS a notebook, not a full-size desktop  
computer, but still wondering if the MacBook's speakers were still  
comparatively bad).

Thanks!
