[QUOTE="tandaina, post: 353881, member: 28426"] Agreed, most people who are happy with their products just use the things and never talk about it. Why would they, they EXPECT it to work. I love my MacBook (had it since Saturday). However the only issue you list that I think should be commented on is heat. The MacBook DOES get hot. Unreasonably so in my opinion. I have a Dell laptop that I have used on a bed/on my lap/the arm of a soft squishy leather couch, etc. The case never gets more than slightly warm to the touch. And when I say slightly I mean SLIGHTLY. It would get warmer left sitting in the sun for ten minutes. My MacBook gets HOT. No, its not burning me but sitting on my lap it gets hot enough that I start to feel too warm even though I live in michigan and its currently around 20 degrees (F) outside. Does that mean I'm not happy I bought the MacBook? No. But be aware of it. My solution was to order a lapdesk/cooler (iLap) to keep my legs and the MacBook comfy. Its better ergonomics anyway. If you can, find an Apple store and play with one, they don't mind if you hang out and poke around. That's what I did and decided that I would be comfortable with a Mac. I am MORE than comfortable I am loving it. Every day I have literally found something new that made me grin. ;) There is feedback from a long time computer geek (Lets just say there were only two colors on a screen when I started and the word "window" meant a thing you opened to get fresh air.) and first time Apple user (<1 week).
