Its the 13.3 2.0 80 gig etc.. it should compliment my iMac G5 and nano(no firewire).
I really wanted the Airbook but no ethernet ports and no internal cd
It should be here tomorrow, and any of you guys have case or protection stuff recommendations? Theres so many brands of cases from hard plastic to a pretty much 3M clear bra. And I havent found a external USB port that says it can charge your ipod
thanks guys

I have a macbook aluminum also and bought the clear bra stuff too, but I got mine from www.bestskinsever.com they are way cheaper then zagg the only difference is that they don't come with warranty you should check it out I've used them for quite a few things now with no issues.

Difference between this stuff and the cheap stuff is the thickness. The cheap crap comes off really easily, this just stays on forever. (I have it on my 3G since i got it on iPhone release (11th of july last year), no scratches whatsover, not even a corner came loose). Feels much better too.
So, i can recommend the InvisibleShield too

I had the invisible shield (the one from zagg) on my iphone 3g and it was great protection. Although it was simply a paint to properly fit the corners of the skin. I simply cut them out cuz whatever i did (maybe used too much lube) it didn't stay in place or it didn't fit properly. There were however a few places remained unprotected (like a slim portion of the aluminum contour of the screen).
THen i accidentally dropped the phone when an idiot hit my hand and i dropped in on the street (pure concrete) and it survived without a scratch EXCEPT (Murphy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) the little aluminum contour of the screen which got some little dings. But overall the shield did it's job well. Nothing else was damaged, except for the shield in many places especially on the back. After that i took it off since it was dented (the shield) and it felt ugly.
But when i'll buy my MBP i will for sure purchase an invisible shield also for it.

I got the Shield yesterday and Installed, It wasnt hard mostly a pain. The template they give you is a lil bigger for instance around the mouse pad area its 3/16 too thick and then that same piece has the sides that up along to the power button and the speaker on the left. They should have made it a 4 piece set instead of one huge one. The front and back were easy, they gave pieces for the sides but they didnt look like they fit. I didnt get every bubble out but its close, Overall a nice addition for Scratch Protection.
