I’ve never owned anything other than PC’s, and use a PC constantly at work, but after spending some quality time with the iPhone, and playing around with a friends MacBook Pro, I’m ready to “switch”.

I am currently considering the MacBook Pro 13 inch MB991LL/A with the 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo Processor and 4 GB of RAM.

Obviously I’m new to the Mac game so I’m wide open to suggestions.

As far as the actual purchase goes, Amazon currently looks like the best deal for me as I get free two-day shipping and avoid sales tax. Thoughts?

It's what I would buy right now (from the Mac world). However, look at the positioning of the USB ports and also the lack of card slots in some of the MacBook (and Pro) models before you pull the trigger.
