Well I got it yesterday, and up front I am pretty impressed. Does well with even the shoddiest of specs. Lol. It has Tiger on it, the widgets in particular crack me up cause they take nearly 45 seconds to update once they appear. Kinda defeats the purpose, but I know that's specific to this machine. Just makes me chuckle.
Specs won't run iLife, so I won't have a chance to run iPhoto (the only app of that group I'm interested in) but I'm skeptical. I've tried numerous photo-organiztion apps on my Windows laptop, and have always simply reverted back to File Explorer and my own organization skills.
I like how everything is more fun in Mac (thus far). iChat is give or take, I like the conversation bubbles format better than text.
I'm having a **** of a time getting my Mac to let me access the shared folders on my Windows Laptop, and have employed another couple of threads on the forum to try to fix that. It keeps asking for a password. I use the same username/password on both computers, and it perhaps doesn't like that.
Haven't really played too much, though I'm thoroughly impressed with battery life. Only app I've installed is Firefox, so i don't have much experience yet with the OS in depth, only in opening and using iTunes, iChat, and Firefox. Lol. My friend has dubbed me "iFag" I told him at least I wasn't using Linux.
For the price I paid, I couldn't be happier.
