Re: configuring a macbook
The Apple-refurbished MacBook can be had for $ 849 + applicable sales tax which a client of mine purchased this past week. 160 GB, 2 GB Ram, OS 10.6 disk included, iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto pre-installed. Naturally, the more RAM and disk space, the better.
Newer MacBook Pro's will have the best battery life.

Re: configuring a macbook
I like MacBook Nefarious configured.
That MacBook is easy to upgrade the RAM and hard drive on, so you can get a lot of life (for not a lot of money) out of the book as well.
