There are many reviews about the macbook now. This is my Windows convert's version after less than a day's experience.
The mac keyboard feels great. I had been long endulged by the acclaimed thinkpad keyboard, never knew that mac keyboard feels even better.
The laptop tend to over heat, not suitable for long hours lapsitting on a hot summer day. I have to move it arround a bit to spread the heat.
The display is unbelievable. Things looks prettier on this screen.
Installing software on a mac is not as hard as I thought, it's actually straightforward.
iSight definately make the whole video integration perfect.
Havn't figure out how to do voice conferencing over yahoo yet. Yahoo Messenger for Mac seems to look dumber. No tabs, huge fonts, and voice malfunction.
Some of the shortcut in windows actually have their twin brothers in Mac. Simply substitute ctrol to the apple key, you are ready to fly.
The mac is preloaded with python and emacs. How cool is that?
Havn't really tried the iphoto and iDvd yet. My RAR zipped file can not be extracted here without some effort. Still hunting for the correct package to do it now.
The battery life is noticably longer than my tablet.
The waken up process is amazing in a mac, and much painful on the tablet.
All in all, I'm super pleased with the self indulging spending....//grin.
