Great machine, with reservations!
Firstly, where I'm coming from: I'm an IT administrator, looking after a heap of Windows servers, LINUX boxes & 40-50 'personal' machines, all these Windows (XP & Vista) running on a pretty large range of hardware. I also do photography & graphic design so use a fair few 'design & editing' packages. The reason for the launch into Mac-land is I have become bored with Windows & intrigued by Mac since it finally came up with a functioning operating system (UNIX). There's also the chance that if these things are as pleasant & easy to use as Apple claim, I could then run them out company-wide & have happy users (always something to aim for for a stress-free life!). So I got one...
The hardware: Excellent - a masterpiece of ergonomics. Great screen, great battery life, quick enough for a 'heavy user', and given these features/performance, pretty light. Very pleasant keyboard, excellent touchpad. Haven't found a single thing I'd change!
The software: Hmm. Very nice to use, which it...

Review 1 : Awesome
Very nice.
I only got it on friday but my god is OSX ever better than Windows.
The battery life runs about 3.5 to 4 hours, and when you close the lid it goes in and out of sleep mode quickly and without errors, very nice.
The keyboard put me off at first (tiny return key) but it only takes an hour to get used to it and then it comes into it's own, very good keyboard indeed, a breeze to use a great size, and the light sensitive backlighting is a stroke of classy genius.
One of the main reasons I went for a MAC is the last powerful laptop I got was a Rock Pegasus TI99 2.0 GHz, back in 2004 and the fan noise from it was unbearable. I want a machine I can take into an office, or work away on while my wife watches a bit of telly without having to leave the room, and with MAC having such tight control over their own hardware I figured this would be better built. Wasn't wrong, it's very, very quiet, and it runs very cool even if you're multitasking quite heavily...
Review 2 : A beautiful machine
I've pondered over several laptops for a while, tried to wait for the redesigns etc and finally cracked. And I'm glad i did. This machine is beautiful both in appearence and running.
-Firstly, the build quality is incredible - no flimsy screen or creaky hinges and the finish is great.
-Secondly, it's very light and thin considering it's a 15.4 incher and its power.
-Thirdly i definitely prefer OSX to Vista, having plenty of experience with Vista. OSX trades on the minimalistic look, and it feels much more comfortable than the cluttered apprearence of Vista. Also everything feels snappy and runs really nicely. The only problems i have encountered with software is the sudden, unprompted closure of imovie twice (which may be to do with problems with my connected camcorder).
Other things: The multi touch (although gimicky) makes navigation great without a mouse, the speakers and display are incredible (although the blacks aren't incredible,...
