Oh boy, the Power consumption must be 2x better
Although I think my 15inch macBook Pro is great, and it is faster than my 15inch Powerbook 1.67ghz, it also uses more juice and doesnt last quite as long. I guess thats what you get for using 2 Intel CPUs to make it faster.

The power brick on the new macBook 15 is pretty big and bulkier, and so is the power cord, it makes you wonder if the 17 inch macBook has a power brick and cord that are orange and can be bought from Home Depot.

Overall the Macbook is a great product but it suffers from typical the PC notebook problems: battery life being numero uno, and scares about Windows BootCamp and viruses being the second.
