I just want to check that when you say this you mean just the external plug. The minidisplayport to dvi is the way to go, and because dvi is the same signal as hdmi you can get a dvi-to-hdmi adapter and plug into your tv as well (some tvs do also have dvi plugs, but with those it seems that vga is still more common).
I will say this. The longer I have had my MacBook (I ordered the day after they released the unibodies, the last time I had a mac was back in the early 90s), the more I like it. There is a learning curve though, as far as finding the right programs, etc, especially after having used pcs for so long.
Oh, and one other thing. The track will screw you up whenever you try to use a "standard" one on a different computer.
