Only disappointment is the battery life. I get about 3.5 hours on a full battery when I am using it normally and making no effort to save power. No big deal though, I just ordered a second battery.

Your FT friend,

Congratulation on your new gift, you'll luv it. Just got one for colleague who has used WinXp and finished setting up for him (Mac OS only, didn't install WinXP yet).

Just one minor note: macbooks only come in the glossy screen. MacBook Pro gives option of glossy and matte.

Happy Holidays to all
