My MacBook Air arrived today from UPS.
First impressions of Mac:
+It is fast and responsive. Programs load very quickly. SSD can likely be attributed to most of this.
-It is not a lite as Apple claims. They say it is 2.3 lbs, but I weighed it and found it to be 1074 grams, this rounds to 2.4 lbs Apple!
-Not much screen space when your coming from dual 24 inch monitors
-Single button 'mouse' is brutally painful in apps that are design for multi button mouse.
I may just have to pick up an ultralight mouse(around 80g). A touch pad may work fine for light web browsing, but I've never been able to stand them for serious work in the past, and so far this Mac touch pad only seems marginally better than I've had on previous laptops.
-Shortcuts are really painful on this keyboard. The command key replaces many of the uses of the control key from Windows, but it is positioned completely different, and I'm finding it quite difficult to hit(have to use my thumb).
-I'm used to Chrome, and Safari doesn't seem to compare very well so far. Amusingly I can't find any method to make Safari go fullscreen. Seriously.
