I'd recommend NOT using a MacBook. I've been using a MacBook for over a year now, and the hardware quirks that show up in Linux are extremely annoying (i.e., random video buffer corruption).
Sounds like FUD to me. I've been using a MacBook Pro for 9 months and it's great! Keeping your Linux installation under a VM allows you to do image cloning, makes backup a cinch, and you can run images of any distribution you want. Keeping the underlying OS Mac OS X makes the computer more useful overall from a gaming / proprietary software perspective as well. And you can run Windows either natively or under yet another VM.
