So far I have been pretty happy with the MacBook Pro. I have been waiting a long time to have an OSX laptop that matches my PC laptop speed.

It isn't all honey though. I have run into a few issues:

• Left shift key was a bit sticky at first (I really don't want to have to send this back!)
• Of course, a lot of software hasn't been updated to Universal Binary yet. E.g. fink
• A few strange errors. For example, when running % svn checkouts I sometimes get IO errors which is very annoying

I was expecting a few tough times, yet over time it will only get better.

I am just happy to be able to run IntelliJ IDEA with snappiness.

And iPhoto does scroll like butter.
