FedEx was fantastically fast: my new MacBook
As always, Apple’s packing is a work of art in itself, and the physical design of the computers and accessories also top notch. The power supply, for instance, sports both a fold-out plug that can be swapped for a longer cord and deployable arms for wrapping the power cable. The power cable attaches to the computer magnetically and quickly detaches if snagged by an errant foot.
One of the big reasons for getting a MacBook was that it’s really a wolf of a Unix system in designer sheep clothing. Since OS X is based on BSD, I felt it only appropriate to don the OpenBSD t-shirt seen in the glossy screen reflection.

In your “accessories” picture, I noticed a video adapter. Did that come included with the MacBook? (contrary to what Apple says) If so, what kind is it?

The video adapters are sold separately; you can get either a DVI or VGA connector.
