I'm thinking of purchasing the MacBook 13" widescreen 2.0GHz since I wanted the DVD Burner. I know the MacBook doesn't have S-Video output built-in and requires an DVI to S-Video adapter. But according to Apple under the "Learn More" when customizing, only the MacBook PRO has this option. I tried to search for DVI-to-SVideo in accessories and the REQUIREMENT is MacBook PRO. It didn't say MacBook (the 13 inch model).

Is S-Video output possible with the NON-PRO model? This is because I use this feature very often. I would highly question Apple's decision on excluding that feature for non-pro macbook.

EDITED: Nevermind, I found what I was looking for. It's the mini-DVI to video adapter (not the regular DVI).

Yeah, the MacBooks use MiniDVI as opposed to the full size DVI on MacBook Pros.
