I was given this laptop to use while I was working at Yahoo!. It was a nice, well built machine. It had all the nice little "extras" that only come with high end laptops, like a slot loading optical drive, backlit keyboard, and webcam. It also had good overall dimensions, being pretty slim.

I was new to OS X, so it took me a bit to find equivelent programs from what I had been using in Windows XP. Luckily, I was mostly using open sourse software like Eclipse and Open Office by this point, so there wasn't anything I really missed. I still hate OS X's mouse acceleration issue, which I never quite figured out how to fix.

All in all, it was a pretty decent machine and I had no real complaints.
