The things I like best about it are ~ A very rigid metal frame that is also a heat sink, no cooling fan to fail as the entire case dissipates the heat. It never gets hot only mildly warm under the most demanding applications (encoding video).
Never had to fix it it always works like the day it was bought. There are no known viruses to infect the osx 6.6 operating system. There are only a hand full of spyware that can infect one and there is a fix for them.
Drawback is they are more expensive but worth every penny in my opinion as they just plain work.
If you have a windows only applications then you will need “Parallels 6” to run them or some other VM.
You get spoiled not having to wait for the computer to finish booting up.

Be forewarned that only Apple can work on it.
Enjoy your drive to Annapolis.
P.S: Apple store in Annapolis gives 10% discounts to military folks.

One of our girls needs it for photog and such off at school and, it seems, MS simply ain't up to the challenge.

Whether you go to the store or order it online... make sure to get your 10% education discount (if she's enrolled in a school, she should qualify).
This *should* link you to the education store where prices are already marked down: http://store.apple.com/us-k12
I love my macbook. I've had it for 5 years. Only one problem.... the hard-drive crashed. I took it to the mac store (Yes, all the way up in Annapolis...) and fully expected to pay for the problem to be fixed because it wasn't under warranty, but because mine was an earlier model and they knew it was an existing problem, they fixed it for free. They even replaced the white casing around the keyboard as there was a little chip in it... Oh, and it came back with the new operating system... again free. So yeah, it's in Annapolis, but I will happily drive there for the service I got.
Even though mine is still running fine and does everything I want it to do, I'm still anxious to get a 13 in. Macbook Pro, but I'm waiting for something to happen to this one so I have a reason to justify the purchase.... it could be awhile!

Only if you bought the standalone program.
I bought the Design Standard CS3 suite in 2008. Recently, I checked into the upgrade for Photoshop CS5. Turns out I cannot upgrade just PS because the version I have is part of the bundle. One of those Apple oddities.

right off of Adobe's website ....
Photoshop upgrade, Photoshop update | Adobe Photoshop CS5
or rather ... maybe this;
