Hi, I'm a Mac

It has been about 1 month since I received my first Mac, and here is a brief rundown of how awesome it is, and also the not-so-awesome bits, in no particular order, based on my own needs and expectations.

AWESOME:

  • the looks: svelte!
  • baaaaaaaaattery life: 8-ish hours!
  • trackpad: for most things, better than a separate mouse
  • Spaces and Expose: organizing without thinking
  • speed: base model is still stupid fast
  • so quiet!
  • the screen: she is beautiful and highly viewable
  • back-lit keyboard: no more tilting screen down to find keys in the dark
NOT AWESOME:
  • sharp corners on lid opening indentation
  • so easy to get dirty
  • only 2 usb ports stuck very close together
  • SD cards stick out from the reader, so I cannot boost storage space (or run OS X off of an 8 GB SD card)
DOUBLE NOT AWESOME:
I ordered Snow Leopard through the Up-To-Date program (pay for shipping only). It was due to arrive on September 3, having shipped on August 28. It has not arrived. I called Apple Support and waited on hold for 20 minutes or so before I could get it filed as lost/stolen. They're sending me another one free of charge with a different carrier.
