I've had mine for a week. Love it. Then again, I've only had time to load it up, not use it extensively yet. I have been hearing rumblings of all sorts though. Please enlighten me:

1) There's a battery problem? 3 hours? Is this based upon running a cd-rom all 3 hours or just normal usage? 10.3 is rumoured to fix this?

I usually keep my laptop plugged in so this is a non-issue for me,
I'm mostly happy that it doesn't crap out during the middle of dvd movie.

2) LCD's are mostly OK with all you guys out there who own the new 15"?

3) Airport is OK too for most of you?

4) combo-drive's ok, not problematic?

4) One complaint I have (minor): My goodness, the 15" gets hot. I was sitting on a chair typing away last week, and it was getting close to the "uncomfortable" range on my bare thighs.

It's kind of funny too...on this albook, the processor's noticeably loud, I can hear all the processing going on when I scroll a window up and down, or practically any other action. Not annoying though.
Now I know, and knowing is half the battle!
