OS X runs really quickly on my Mac, a 2.2GHz MacBook.

It even runs pretty well on my old eMac.

Just got my first mac late last year but the MacBook’s design is lacking. The palmrest is too jagged and i often find my palms irritated because of the edge and its squared corners. Also, the lid seems to be creating a crack on the palmrest where the little raised areas touch the palm rest.

The OS itself is great though. I wish there was some more flexibility with it like the cron jobs (3rd party cronnix for those interested) and other types of things like that but I like it. I still need to dev in ASPNET though so Vista works for me in that aspect (IIS7 rules)

Before I got my Mac I was concerned about Right-Click mouse support. I remembered when all Mac mice were of the single button variety...

Someone who admits in the second paragraph to having an
‘avatar’ I won’t take seriously, whether they like a Mac or PC.

I just put in an order for a...

2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with a 20” cinema flatscreen, with 2GB RAM, a 320GB harddrive, a SuperDrive 8x CD/DVD R/W... (all that stuff), modem (yeah, I know), iWork ‘08, Apple Mighty Mouse and Keyboard, and 3 years of Apple Care (Call me weak).

...for just over $2K, after tax.

It looks like a flat screen with a keyboard and a mouse, but it operates just like any tower I’ve ever owned.

You can get a real nice, 2.8GHz, 2GB, 24” refurbished iMac (with key, mouse, and OS and other software) from Apple for just $1500. Only problem is you can’t customize it with anything else you might want. (More memory or bigger HD, for example.)

I’m sure some of you pros could have gotten even better deals, but overall I’m pretty happy.
