This whole computer is just an amazing step up for me. I switched over from a two year-old Toshiba Satellite running XP Pro. It was pretty top of the line back then, but doesn't even compare with the Macbook Pro!
I can't believe it took me so long to switch over to the OS platform! Everything runs so efficiently: It's so streamlined, and effortless. I could never go back to a PC.
The trackpad is amazing and seamlessly integrated, super sensitive, and working even better after that last update. The unibody design is so simple and so pleasing to look at, at the same time.
The keyboard is great: I love the backlighting! More than that, I dig the fact that if I'm watching a movie I can turn off every other light on the computer: No speaker lights, no indicator lights, nothing.
I've been running on a glossy screen for a while now, and do prefer it over matte. I enjoy the color scheme and the vivid detail that glossy provides, it suits my needs. On that note, I happened to love the screen on my old Toshiba until I compared the two side by side. I never realized how washed out and pale the colors were on the Toshiba! Putting them next to each other, this screen stands out so much it's like a night-and-day comparison!
I love this computer, but more than that, am happy to have found a platform which works incredibly well for me and actually does what I need it to do.
I'm a Mac.
