I should mention the battery life. It's simply amazing. I work on the Macbook at work, as I can have two full pages of a spreadsheet or word processor open at once with legible text(!). Of course, I have the screen dimmed down and use aggressive battery management but at the end of the day I generally have 10% battery life left and that's after watching a downloaded episode of Top Gear during lunch! I don't bother taking the power adapter anymore. I do put the computer to sleep when I have to help clients, but I also use my computer for software demos if clients request it - in which case I switch to the dedicated graphics card. I haven't run out of battery power yet.
