I don't have a Macbook (since I have an older Powerbook), but my brother does, and it's such a great computer! Lightweight, portable, easy-to-use, and great value for the money. To reiterate what artist said, if you need to do high end gaming, graphic design or video editing, this might not be the machine for you (see the Macbook Pro with its bigger matte display and superior video card), but for most uses (email, web, word processing, music, movies, etc.) it's fantastic. Also, Mac OS X is really intuitive and secure. You won't have to worry about viruses, spyware, constant crashes, and the like. Other bonuses are the built in webcam (iSight) and the iLife suite that come with all new Apple laptops.
Just a note - the price isn't $1700. They start at $1249 and go up to $1649.    -
