The bad is that you need to upgrade most of your programs to the Universal format in order to take advantage of the performance. If you don't upgrade it has a program on it called Rosetta, and I have heard that this is slow as fuck, even slower than older Macs running the programs.

The good is, the if you do upgrade your progs, it's faster than fuck, plus all the other great stuff that comes standard with a Mac.

So I am gonna wait until the next one comes out I think. Shouldn't be too long, Mac always comes out with something new almost every Quarter.
