Unbeatably well designed

This is a great choice, for home use just as well as for professionals in the multimedia or design business. The casing is solidly built, really nice quality, as Apple has been known for ever since. The design is just outstanding, even though this might not be relevant to many...you will like it!
The glossy screen is not a disadvantage in normal controlled lighting (office), but it is a bit annoying that there is no alternative available (due to the glassplate covering the screen).
The connections are at the back of the case which makes it look nice, but it might not be all that handy. Since there is only 3+2 USB 2.0 ports (2 on the Keyboard), you might wanna add your hub anyway.
The keyboard is really great, very silent to use. I wouldn't go for the wireless version since it is mainly meant for living-room-in-the-lap-use. The mighty mouse is good and comfortable to use too...just had a few minor misclicks when I had my fingers at the back of the mouse. (since it is one button with sensors, "feeling" if it is a right or left click)
With iLife 08 included, this is great value you get for your money!
