Well I've had my MBP for a couple of days, so here are my thoughts (15.4'' model, 80GB, 512MB RAM, matte)
Portability: I move it often from my room to downstairs. I thought it would be too heavy for a soon-to-be college student, but it's not at all. Sure, it's heavier than I like, butt it's not unberable either.
Heat: The first nightt, I could have cooked eggs on itt, but it's cooled down a lot. With firefox open its usually is about 105-114 farenheit though if I'm importing CDs or doing other processor heavy tasks it will go up to 140. It's quite comfortable on my legs, but I wouldn't think about putting it on my bare legs.
Speed: With 512MB, it's so freaking fast. I can't imagine what it will do when I popp some more RAM into this thing.
Screen: my apple store only had matte, so it was an easy choice.
Magsafe: Great little feature, but it can be annoying when you have the laptop on your lap and will on occaison disconnect. Still, I prefer it over the old method.
Switcher Impressionss:
Everything is so much easier to use! I don't waste 5 minutes looking for something! Finder is amazing- I don't really use spotlight so much though. I can't get Mail to work. I like how this computer can be as secure as I want it to be. I don't regret the switch at all.
