Journal AssFace's Journal: I really can't say enough about how impressed I am.

I am just really taken aback by how great this laptop is.

My only complaints so far, and these are likely largely due to what I am used to and also my lack of knowledge at this point of how to customise and or find things.

Complaints:
1) The whole machine is aluminum - it feels fantastic to the touch and looks great - light too. The downside is that I am coming to notice that I hit the space bar and the mouse button with the side of my thumb and largely the fingernail. The feeling of this on the aluminum is the same of running your fingernails down a chalkboard. I'm hoping I get used to this - I have already bitten off a bit of my thumbnail (will cut it when I get home and have access to clippers) so as to avoid this.

2) Safari - the Google toolbar client doesn't allow me to do a search specifically for images/discussions, and when I search a web page for words, it doesn't give me buttons to press and search for those words in the document - all things that I love about the regular Google toolbar.

3) I don't know how to do and/or find a lot of things. Basic keyboard shortcuts that I used to do don't work now - and the keyboard layout of the laptop is annoying to quickly select text or to page up/down - I'm getting better with it though and suspect that this will get better quickly as I adjust to it.

4) Mail - it shows me what I have spelled wrong, but I can't click on it and get a short list of the words that it might be instead - instead I had to go to a menu and then try to figure out the keyboard shortcut - which isn't an easy shape to quickly do while typing and then that just brings up a window that stays open instead of a quick menu... oh well - just getting used to new things.

I'm sure a few more things will come up soon - but so far I am finding more things that I love about it than things I dislike.
