This is an apple laptop, so it comes with OS X: it has an Apple keyboard, which means that certain keys you expect are missing:
- insert, del, home, end, pgup, pgdown. There is also one mouse button only. Battery life is poor compared to X60/T60. Cooling (ventilation)
- is also poor. The speaker might aswell not be there, quality is really bad. Not only that, these machines are expensive and usually easier to find in North America, so if you live outside
- of NA then you will most likely have to import it. It's the opinion of this libreboot developer that the MacBook2,1 is not a very good machine.

the GRUB command line easier (if you ever need to do that).

differs, you can adapt those notes and hack the 'build' script for your needs.
