+ Yet another great design piece from Apple,Everything works perfect. the SD card slot is a long awaited need for digital photography.

- the SD card sticks out a bit would be nice if it was flush like most laptop manufacturers.

+ I've been a PC user for years and was nervous about buying a Mac but it's the best decision I could have made. The trackpad mouse is brilliant and it's been so easy to use I've barely noticed the transition from a PC.

- None. Not yet anyway!
