I have to say I've had many MacBooks, as well as iPhones, iPads, etc.. I've never owned one that totally lived up to its hype even though there wasn't much hype for this release, just carrying the computer through our office. I don't think there was one person that didn't stop me it actually felt a little embarrassing to be honest, next was the finish for reducing fingerprints. I'm stunned that it works so well people have had their grubby hands all over it today. I just got home and I have to look to actually see any fingerprints. Last but not least I can't remember the last time I got a new computer, that was so noticeable a difference in speed and I haven't even had a chance to set up Photoshop yet! Even the simple act of signing in to this website was so fast I swear I giggled! I advice if you can afford it go for the 14 max with upgraded ram. It'll last you for years.
