I bought this Mac as my daughter has one for work, and it looked cool.  Tried this product which was very affordable for my "trial".  Nice look and feel (a few quirks but caught on), but just didn't have enough incremental benefit/features to keep.  Also two software titles I use heavily are only Windows-based.  However, this is a good product, and a relatively good value compared to higher MacIntosh models.  Would recommend as a starter.
