Detailed review
My configuration is 2.93GHz, 4GB RAM, 320 GB 7200 RPM HDD, matte screen option.
My only complaint about the chassis design is that the front edge is more than slightly sharp. When using the laptop on a desk (without external keyboard or mouse), the front edge makes quite an impression in the palm of my trackpad hand during extended use. That caveat aside, everything else is superlative. The display is gorgeous (definitely splurge for the matte option!), the chiclet-style keyboard is typical Apple perfection, the speakers sound great and have plenty of volume in reserve, and the new no-button glass trackpad is oh-so-dreamy. I actually get slightly cranky when I have to use any other laptop, because of how wonderful the huge trackpad and its gesture capabilities are.
