Bought it day one that it was released and couldn't be happier. I take my laptop just about everywhere so no more aching back. :-) Yes, but I absolutely LOVE my MacBook Air.

The Things that *I* see as better with Macs are subtle and very graphic designer specific... they just don't make financial sense for most users.

I don't want to come across as smug, but sheesh! :-D There is no entry level 15-inch laptop because the company can't address every customer's request, if you want a choice between 37 different configurations, go look at Dell. That's what Dell is for, seriously. They are shipping like 10 million computers per quarter, they can afford to support as many SKUs. Apple doesn’t play the social media game, so they are EEEEVIL.

I started with an Apple II+ then a II GS and then an LC III, which eventually crashed on me and I lost everything (my Iomega Jazz drive wasn't actually backing anything up). So I went to PCs for a while before switching back to a Powerbook to work in ProTools (audio editing). At first I wasn't that impressed with OS X but over time I grew to love it. For a while I was traveling with both an HP laptop and my Powerbook because I liked doing Web and personal stuff on my Mac more. Now I have an iMac at home and run Parallels on it, which is the fastest I've ever seen Windows run. My next computer will be a MacBook Pro and I don't see myself ever using a PC again. There's really nothing that I do on my PC that I can't do better on my Mac anymore and I have a feeling that you'll probably feel the same way in a couple months.
