So you just run into OS X Lion or some other animal. I just did, too. Let me share some simple things that took time. Some might call this "10 or so things to do with MAC OS X/Macbook Air/Pro/Mini after you got it".

Impressions and differences

...the good

  • I like how the keyboard responds
  • Backlight for the keys is nice, and should probably be used in most devices of the class.
  • Multitouch is nice and easy to get used to

...the bad, and ugly

  • Now backspace key is called delete and does backspace (like in the old days). But where is the delete key...?
  • I am too used to linux/win control and alt key functionality. This throws me off. For example, I just accidentally switched panes again when wanted to jump a word back (pressed Ctrl+Left instead of Option/alt+Left).
  • Integrated AppStore is ok, but rather limited, understandably so, to approved software. Oh,well, one can find many precompiled alternative software choices that serve ready to install .dmg files.
