It's great. Huge step up from late 2009 Mac mini.


I haven't seen any lag... Then again I never visit facebook.

Screen is great but I use it in clamshell and dual monitors for the screen real estate. It will be nice to work on the road when adobe CS gets updated.
 
No lag in Safari apart from Facebook, scrolling through Spaces is just as smooth as it was in my MacBook Air and iMac, and I am having no issues with coming out of sleep mode.

I'm putting it this way: if you're used to Safari, you won't notice anything special. If you're coming from Chrome, Safari seems really slow and clunky.

I am using Chrome on my iMac, and did on every single other Mac I've had (a mix of unibody Macbook Pros and Airs). Safari's performance is on-par.

been using Chrome for years. IMO, Safari is torture. It's slow (page-load speed, scrolling) rendering is sometimes awkward, it's ugly. but that's just my opinion.
