Hm! I had been very busy this week, did not get enough time to check my new mac book pro out. First, I was away in NYC on the weekend. The visit bled over to Monday and I was late to get to work, and the usual snafu followed. Anyway, here are my first impressions of mac book pro and OS X

Ups

• Ease of use - things just work (may be it is so in Windows too;but prolonged use of Linux makes me say this)
• Beauty - everything is beautiful
• Scrollpad - very very very innovative way of user input
• Speed - very fast, and very smooth graphics
• Very sleek

Downs

• Heat - the core duo gets hotter and the SMC fans wont cool it down until it is really hot. I can not think of using this in a country like India.
• Font rendering - I find Apple's font rendering ( sub-pixel smoothed) a little inferior to Microsoft's Cleartype.
