After more than a month of heavy use I'm very impressed. First and foremost, this system is as fast as any computer I've ever used. Not just laptops, either.
Programs launch in an instant and opening and saving files has never been faster.
Lithium-ion battery life is decent, at somewhere around 2.5 hours per charge. It's also quite handsome. With the softly rounded curves of its black rubberized case, and its stark white Apple logo, it looks like a cross between a stealth bomber and Darth Vader. As always, I do have some complaints. This has two negative implications for me.
