I'm starting to really like my MacBook. When I first made the switch to Apple about a year ago I kind of regretted my decision. I had to return the MacBook twice because of keyboard and battery problems. And my wireless always hung after waking up from sleep (still does). Maybe I should have just spent half the money and gotten another Dell...
But recently I'm starting to understand why so many people love their MacBooks. Little features like Spotlight really make a big difference. Having to click around menus to launch an application is really annoying. Installing apps is also easier, just move it the application directory. Of course I also like that I have a terminal available so I can ssh into work/do work without having to download cygwin. The bells and whistles don't impress me that much, like the minimizing effect/expose. And I still think coverflow is pretty retarded except for displaying photos.
So I'm no longer regretting my purchase and would recommend a MacBook over a Windows PC--the 20 percent or so price premium is worth it. There's still a few applications that won't run on Macs, like the iGolf Neo sync software that I really want so I don't have to bring my work laptop home, but almost everything I need/want is available on the Mac these days.
