Good: Slim design, screen
Bad: Average performance, gets pretty hot if the battery is charging while you're using the laptop, virtually no native software yet.
Comment: Performance-wise the only thing this laptop does fast is switch on/off. It's quick but not fast. Seeing as practically every application needs to go through Rosetta the emulation takes its tax cut on performance. My desktop PC (Pentium 4 3.2GHz, 1GB RAM) out-performs this laptop at everything (apart from starting up and shutting down). I have the 2.16Hz 17-inch model with 7,200rpm disk and 1GB RAM.

Good: Fantastic design! It's not only beautiful, but very, very practical in all ways
Bad: Nothing really
Comment: I was a Windows user and I could't be happier with the switch! The machine delivers everything I wanted and more! Plus it has a sexy looking design (according to PC user friend of mine) and it is Apple! I've never been so happy in using a product before. Apple's support when I needed them (as a newbie I was pretty much lost!) was fantastic and I couldn't expect more.

Good: Bright screen scrolling trackpad
Bad: I would have liked a black one
Comment: If you love Macs this is the best yet, with the Boot Camp Windows option it gives everyone a chance to use quality hardware with what ever operating system they need. A stunning laptop
