After years of PC laptops, I purchased an IPad when they first came out. Then was ready to get the MacBook Air when it first came out. It was going to be my extra laptop. But then my 17inch Windows HP starting giving me problems only after a year of ownership. This was only my 3rd PC laptop in 5 years. 1 Sony and 2 HP. So then i thought...my Ipad is still good to go, so then I started going to the Mac store and playing with The Air, Macbook and Macbook Pros. Having fun and just loving it. The thing that was preventing me from immediate purchase was the $2000 pricetag. I now have had it about 3 weeks and dont know how I avoided it sooo long. Especially love the finger swipes, i know that came with lion but still I am happy. My specs are MBP 15, i7 quad processors, 3000 shared graphics and 6750 graphics card, 750 hard drive, the 8x drive and the rest are similar. oh also ilife 11.
