Who got a MBP for Christmas?
I did!! I got myself a 15" i7 2.9 GHz, 4GB RAM,500 GB HDD and matte screen for Christmas. It replaces my MB 13" Black 2.4 GHz C2D, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD. I really love this machine. It's fast and runs cool. The only thing I noticed as a small glitch, is that the wi-fi reception isn't as good as that of the older MB. The aluminum case has much to do with that, I'm sure. No problem though, as wi-fi is still running well enough, so I can't complain. I wasn't going to get it now, but I was getting tired of my 13" MB (the screen resolution of the Intel video was terrible). Glad I got it!

I did!
My first Mac ever
15" 2.8 i7, 8GB RAM, 500GB(7200RPM), fully loaded with software from Final Cut Express to Microsoft Office Suite
So far a nice computer but it runs extremely hot when encoding video, and does it signifigantly slower than my old Core 2 quad Dell laptop.

I did too. Bought a mint 2nd hand Mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro. Never used one before but I own an iPad and an iPhone 4 so thought i'd test the water.
Planning on upgrading to SSD in the future but in the meantime i've stuck a WD Black Scorpion 500gb 7200rpm in it. This HDD will get fired into an optibay when I buy a SSD.

I agree, the Magic Mouse is not ergonomic which is why I use a Razer Deathadder. I'm going to upgrade to a Razer Mamba when I buy an iMac. Razer makes great mouses (or mice, idk how it works with the electronic mouse). I love Razer.
It is just not powerful enough, my MBP is running FCE right now and the render is telling me a ridiculous 30 hours remaining, and that is with the i7. I hate to think how long it would take on the MBA
I got mine as a belated Christmas present.
C: And despite the fact that the 13" MBP is undergoing a revamp this coming year, I'm not regretting having the 2010 model.
It runs really nicely, and I got it just in time so that I can do all my schoolwork on it!
