...and I couldn't be happier with this machine. All the things I worried about aren't an issue at all. As a design student I was sure the glossy screen would be an issue but so far it hasn't been a problem even once. The screen looks fantastic and even when I'm in a brightly lit room, the screen is so well lit that I don't notice reflections at all. The build quality is immaculate all around. The performance is incredible for a laptop. I have large photoshop and illustrator files running at the same time and it runs flawlessly.
This is my first mac so I've spent the last few days getting used to the operating system. OSX combined with this trackpad is amazing. Everything works really well and flowing around the computer and files is so easy and quick that I'm disappointing I haven't really given it a chance before. The gestures on the trackpad, as well as single click one finger/right click two fingers, is probably my favorite feature. I've always hated trackpads but this one is even better than using a mouse in many ways.
So all my worries about getting this computer have gone out the window and I've been left with pure satisfaction. The only complaints I have so far are; I keep getting finger prints on the screen when I open it, the black bezel should have not been made of glass, the space bar feels a little weird and doesn't always click smoothly. Other than that, I don't think I could ask for a better computer.
Thanks for all your help guys.
