FINALLY got my new MacBook Pro (the first had been stolen en route, but FedEx and Apple were both cooperative in getting me a replacement at no cost to me). The 2.53 GHz model. It's BRILLIANT. Absolutely amazing. I am just blown away by how nice the new-generation OSX is and how nice the new laptop is.
With the exception of the new trackpad, which is annoying as hell. Thank god for wireless laptop mice.
Full review will come in a week or so, but I can easily see right now how they can charge $1,000 more than a Lenovo Ideapad which looks the same on paper.
