Don't know what Mac laptop to get?

I'm a relatively new convert to Mac. Bought an iMac last month to replace an aging PC and now I'm considering replacing my notebook PC with the new Mac Book. I was warned that Mac would win me over.
I don't play games but I use it for the web, itunes, photos, word processing, email and the like.
I have read everything on this site pertaining to the new MB with no clear cut thoughts on whether this particular model would work well for my needs.
Will the video card issue have that much bearing for my needs?
If you believe this model would suit my needs can you also recommend what it should be outfitted with (1gb of RAM, 80gb HD).

Thank you in advance for your advice and assistance.

I am actually typing this on my brand spanking new MacBook 2 Ghz in white and I'm wondering just how much of a perfomance boost dual channel will have in real life. I am about to buy memory upgrade but dunno if I should be heading down the dual channel road.

With regard to the question about installing memory sticks in pairs or not... here's what the Apple Store says about it:

"And if both slots are loaded with an equal amount of RAM — which is strongly recommended — you can take advantage of the system's dual-channel memory architecture for an additional performance boost. With a dual-channel memory interface, both banks of SDRAM can be addressed at the same time, enabling MacBook to reach a memory throughput of up to 10.7 GBps."

Sounds like they're really recommending installing memory in pairs.

To the question about the differences between the black and white MacBooks... yes, what you mentioned (20GB HDD and color) appears to be the only difference.

Stupid question here. Are color and 20GB the only differences between the 13" 2.0GHz white and the 13" 2.0Ghz black MacBooks?

@RAM:
My current Powerbook has the stick of 512 which came from Apple in addition to a gigabyte stick I bought from Kingston (who I highly reccomend; lifetime warrenty, great customer support).
I don't see why the Macbooks would be any different, so I'd say that would work.

do I have to purchase a set of memory sticks (like 2x512MB for a gig) or can I leave one slot empty? I would like to uprade to 1.25 GB RAM -> 1GB stick and 1 leftover 256MB stick [sell the other on eBay or something].

Speaking of RAM, has anyone found any information on how easy/difficult it is to install memory upgrades yourself?

The old iBooks and 12" PowerBooks used a 45W adapter, while the bigger PowerBooks had a 65W. Apple only sold the 65W adapter. The word on the street was that you could use the 65W with an iBook no problem, but that the 45W would eventually ruin the battery in a PowerBook.

I wonder if these new MacBooks can run FCP. They don't seem to meet the minimum requirements (AGP graphics card), but they can do the core graphics tricks. The chart should say that! All G4 machines (minis and iBooks included) could run FCP and DVD Studio Pro!

Anyone notice that the MacBook uses a 60W MagSafe power adapter, instead of the Pro's 85W?

How long before they come up with black MacBook Pros? Or are they too 'professional' for that?
