Ive been using this machine since Dec 2008 and so far theres little that I have to complain. Good speed, amazing reliability and hardly ever does it crash.
I bought it to basically power up my film production courses that Im doing and to help me with editing. Even though the total purchase was expensive compared to the other alternatives in the market, i'm still glad I made the purchase because up till now all that i've gotten is excellent usage and amazing value for money.
The keyboard with its newly introduced flat keys may look awkward at first but once you start using them they're a joy to have. You just cant do without them!
The multi-touch trackpad was very awkward to use at the beginning, specially with the lack of buttons and all but now I must say the general ease of function has been the best thing and I keep on mistakenly looking for the multi-touch trackpad every time I use someone elses laptop.
The overall feel and use of the Mac OS is pretty good, specially since I was previously a windows user and always used to think that migrating away from windows would be something I'd never do, but here I am and im glad I did because the MacOS is definitely amazing!
