I'm going to keep my review short and brief. All-in-all, Unibody MBP owns.
Screen: The glossy screen on the new is definitely much more defined and sharp. My old one wasn't bad, but in doing everyday things, it beats the crap out of the old one. Esp, in movies. The black border is a very nice touch, makes it look streamlined.
Body/Build: No latch, thank you Jesus......i mean Steve. It feels much more rigid cuz of the build process. No longer do you have loose screws or a flappy feeling of the top panel. The laptop as a whole just feels like a whole new beast. The access to ram, battery and hd is much needed.
Keyboard: It took a bit of adjusting to the new kb, but it feels better than ever. It's unfortunate the keys aren't color matched.
Speakers: New speakers are clearer and crisper.
Trackpad: I don't know what all the fuss is all about, but it's such a great evolution of the old. I use nearly all the functions all the time. Button-less trackpad is not only clean looking, but also streamlines the whole laptop.
Heat: My first generation MBP was one of those egg cookers and this new one is SO much better, words can't describe how much cooler the temp is. New component placement, I'm sure has helped a lot in this area.
I thought the 1st gen MBPs were a piece of art, but this Unibody is like the Da Vinci of Apple laptops (at least for me)
