Pros: the Mac migration assistant works remarkably well, transferring over existing software, emails, music, photos, etc.
the rechargeable mouse seems to last a LONG time before you have to recharge
Cons: your custom settings don't transfer over so you have to set all of them again
this computer is stupidly slow - constant spinning beach balls while you sit and wait for it - that's just running email and a web browser - it basically can't even run Parallels (it boots, but nothing on the Windows portion will run and the Mac side basically slows to a crawl too)
you cannot upgrade the RAM - I suspect this computer needs 16 or 32GB of RAM, but you can't upgrade it yourself. Google the process to upgrade the RAM on this model - it basically requires risky disassembly of the computer (the 27" model and older models don't require "surgery")
