I have just been a proud owner of an Apple Macboook Pro (courtesy: SSN) and hasn't it been just awesome. I have wanted to get my hands on one for a while now and so far I have really enjoyed the test drive. I was apprehensive (and no more ..) on two counts. One, the support available for a Mac in comparison to a PC perhaps was not adequate for me and second, the price you pay for getting one. Within four days of using it, I have realized that first of my concerns is not one anymore. It has a wide support for a variety of applications and there is a growing Mac community on the web. The price, I would still think it is slightly high but then you get only what you for. It's well worth it for more reasons than one.
The Graphical User Interface that Apple provides with all its products (OS X here) is second to none. Its nice, clean and a lot easier to use. Once you have known the ropes, you find it so much easy to navigate around. It's built-in application set (read iPhoto, iTunes and all other i's) is feature rich and extremely useful in keeping things organised. Add to it, the unix shell support and you have a work-ready machine at hands. I have always thought it's much easier for code development if you have your own unix box rather than logging into a unix server. And with Macbook Pro, 2GB RAM and 120 MB HDD with Intel 2.33 GHZ processor, you really have what you need. The only downside being intel processor tends to make these warmer than the previous Power PC architecture. The packaging and the sleekness is just what you expect of an Apple product.
With whatver I have used so far, I have loved it and I can see myself being a REAL proud owner soon.

Well you never actually feel the need, the UI is just that good. You always click RIGHT.
