- There are no "home" and "end" keys, and the Command + left arrow, right arrow don't always work. E.g. they don't work in vim, and inside the message compose text area in gmail home, end are Command + up, down! Actually as I type this blog I am not sure because the Command + up, down are working like Pg Up, Pg Dn and Command + left is for going back to the previous page. Also, the key board is not nearly as good as the Thinkpad keyboard. There are spaces between the keys which I don't like because invariably I hit the space between keys and the key is not pressed.
- Sticking with the keyboard, the keys don't have symbols on them. And most documentation contains these symbols instead of the key names. (trust me you can't figure them out on your own!)
- The multi touch trackpad is pretty good but guess what? It is not yet supported by the applications that I use most. E.g. the zoom in, zoom out don't work in Firefox, nor in Acrobat Reader; the three finger swipe for going back a page doesn't work in Firefox.
- Other minor issues include the glossy screen because it reflects too much, and in this model (the only one I can afford, apart from the 13") it's the only option. Also there are no webcam settings! My room is pretty bright, but my picture in the webcam is always dark and there is no way for me to change it. There is no way to include the date in the clock on the upper right hand corner
