Re:Looks like I won't be buying a Macbook (Score 1)

the quality jump from VCR to DVD is pretty much equivalent to the jump from DVD to 1080p if you have any display of 50" or bigger and capable of a full 1080p signal. On my 50" plasma I can see tons of artifacts in a standard DVD signal, but 1080p HD rips (downloadable off pirate bay) are 100% artifact free and at higher resolution. If you don't see the point of this then you've clearly never seen the difference on a high quality display.
