It's gorgeous, it feels very solid (contrast with a brand new Thinkpad T410 I tried at a store the other day, which audibly creaked when I rested the weight of my hand on it to type), and is plenty powerful. On the other hand, I continually resolve to give up emacs "sometime soon" due its terrible ergonomics, so I'll look at this more as an opportunity to finally do something about that. I'm not convinced I can adapt to this keyboard, at least without some remapping, as one day of very light hacking has already induced a case of emacs pinky due to the lack of a Control key on the right side of the keyboard, a sensation I had not experienced in years since adjusting to rely on the right control modifier when hacking with desktop keyboards and Thinkpads.
I still think OS X is clumsy and inefficient to use, but so well executed that I find some joy in that inefficiency every time I flick the multitouch gesture for Expose and watch the pretty animation. I'm not a Mac person I dabbled in the platform when the original Mac Mini came out, but found the hardware underpowered and the software awkward and unlikely to displace Linux as my preferred desktop OS. AhefnerI just bought a shiny new 15" MacBook Pro.
