Spec wise, that's great.
The thing to remember about buying a mac is that it's not a PC, and never will be. Know from the get-go that you're buying a mac with OS X. You'll drop 3k on a very nice computer, and you'll hate it. Sure, it'll "just work", and it'll have little things that you really enjoy, such as a backlit keyboard. But you'll hate (especially if you come from a windows laptop) how you can't hit a button on the keyboard to launch your email program, or how hard it is to navigate the finder compared to Windows' Explorer.
People will tell you that if you don't like OS X, you can just install Windows on it, and that's 100% bull. Yes, you can install Windows XP/Vista on it, but even if you do that, you'll find shortcomings- no right click, no simple way to toggle BT or WiFi.. Windows is designed to have buttons on the computer that the macbooks just don't have.
So you stick with your laptop, and after about a month or so you start to un-learn how to do things the windows way, and how to do things the mac way. The desktop is not a place to go to launch applications, that's the dock. Spotlight is your friend. So is Exposé. The fact that you could never make a é, ü, ñ in Windows without remembering an alt code (have you ever tried to do that on a laptop!) will start to bug you, and soon enough you'll realize that even with the shortcomings that you find in OS X, it's 10 times better then Windows.
Personally, I don't like the GUI. I much prefer windows start menu to the dock, but I live with the dock because the OS is just much more stable, and there's cool things like exposé. I used Windows on my desktop from 95 to when they introduced the G4 mac mini's (dunno when that was), and then switched to a mac laptop in may.. that's my story.
