I've used the Macbook for about a month. Not a switch proper, I still use Windows at work and on my desktop. It's also my first Mac ever (I had an Apple IIe in the 80s, it had a monochrome display with 5in floppy drive). How's the Macbook for a laptop?

Good
- shipped from China in a bout a week
- the Macbook is all kinds of pretty, white > black cuz it's got the gloss (black is matte), a matter of taste I suppose, I wish it was constructed flawlessly but I'm mostly happy
- screen brightness
- Spotlight: cmd+space opens a search box top right, type in app name or documents, forget where things are, just search for them; the Start menu paradigm in Windows is so 1980
- scrolling down and sideways using two fingers on the trackpad, hot
- the power adapter is outfitted with a magnet, this feature is hyped for how it would unplug gracefully if you ever trip on the cord but for me it's more about easy plug in (locks in), all connectors should be like this
- F9 - F12 function keys to show opened windows, desktop, all windows within apps.. not so much Dashboard
- connect to a pc share with smb://ip
- built-in video camera and mic
- FrontRow is soo nice (mostly music for me), the remote is handy too
- iPhoto slideshow with the Ken Burns (the famed documentarian) effect is pretty hot, it dissolves from picture to the next with some motion zooming in and out, replicating this online would be hot
- pretty fast boot, even if I rarely have to do so since Mac OS X is pretty stable

So so
- speakers are good but not loud enough
- screen could be bigger, you pay for what you get
- didn't really mess with Safari, I'm all Firefox
- price: ain't cheap
- remote using IR, how bout radio?
- Bootcamp: haven't tried it, like ability to run Windows, lame to have to reboot; a program called Parallels lets you launch Windows from Mac OS, it's for pay though

Bad
- heavy, first thing I noticed unpacking, kinda bums me out - I shoulda read this, the specs say 5.2lbs, like ouch
- lack of dedicated page up/down buttons
- mini-dvi forces me to buy an extra cable to connect to a monitor
- no right-click is just plain dumb, update: Lil Gee gave me a cool tip that you can set double tap on trackpad to become right-click, not bad
- laptop get sooo hot, like wtf
- not sure if this is a Firefox problem but the tab behavior is jacked, some elements are straight up skipped (checkbox, drop down)
- unable to connect to a Mac from a pc even with the feature touted on the Mac, dunno
- hate how the display wobbles as you move the laptop or readjust, the cheapness
- iPhoto: organization in rolls is not flexible enough, the albums are in effect playlists with links to the actual library, organization is really hard, I end up keeping a copy of all the pics, the albums reflecting the ones I want but the space waste probably will be an issue
- Flickr Uploadr, retarded how long it takes to authenticate, I'm not too happy with the progress update as you upload; where is the integration for iPhoto (some dude wrote a plug in, for pay)

Verdict
I'm cool with it, I can't say I'm super happy, I don't even think I could recommend it especially if you have to do work on this. It was an impulse buy coupled with being extremely bored, Apple you lucky bastard

Must get apps (all free)
- Firefox
- Xtorrent, built in torrent search is cool
- Adium (though Meebo is kinda hot)
- Skype for video and voice
- VLC for most videos (I hear you have to get WMP for .wmv, I've been able to avoid em so far)
