OK so i was starting to get really pissed off with waiting 3 weeks for my macbook, but now it has arrived and I have had a day or so with it I am SO impressed. Loving the OS, everything is so simple and elegant - not even had to look at any help files or manual yet. Got synced up with my phone calendar and contacts straight away - on my PC I first had to buy a bluetooth dongle, fiddle around getting the drivers installed right, then install nokia pc suite, get that set up, etc etc. With my Mac it all just worked a charm - same with my printer and my presonus firewire soundcard, and my novation remote sl midi controller. Brilliant!
I did have a little ttrouble getting hooked up to the wireless network. Eventually found out that putting 0X in front of the password could sort it, and lo and behold it did!
After reading all the horror stories as well, the build quality on mine seems perfect, and the glossy screen is lovely. I am running it lid closed with a 22" widescreen monitor now and it is wonderful.
Only slight problem is a couple of times the fans have cranked up to REALLY loud - they have gone down again and it is mostly silent apart from that. Slightly worrying though, I would like to use it for audio recording and it would be a bit of a bummer if that started up during recording something fairly gentle.
Overall though I'm really impressed with it - even my gf, who is not really into gadgets, is impressed with how slick it all looks.
I know there are a billion threads like this but i thought I would post another cos I was almost put off by all the threads where ppl talk about problems.
