Unibody Macbooks are bloody sharp, especially the notch below the trackpad. I was constantly getting cut and scraped the first couple of weeks. I understand now why Windows laptops are so round and pudgy. Unfortunately, that's also why Windows laptops are ugly... C'est la vie.
MBPs are also really heavy. I'm using a 15" MBP from work--can't imagine what the 17" is like! When the time comes to buy my own personal laptop, I think I will get an Air.
No USB plug on the right side.
When hooking up to a 27" iMac and running audio through to the iMac speakers, the volume controls are on the iMac and not on the MBP. Switching controls back to the laptop also switches the sound to the laptop speakers. You can't win!
The whole MiniDP/Thunderbolt BS. Adapters are expensive. Apple doesn't even sell a MiniDP-to-MiniDP adapter to support MBP to iMac! I had to buy one from Belkin.
Lack of a docking station. I plug and unplug my MBP a lot and it's so time consuming. I wish I could just dock it and instantly have all my peripherals available to me.
- syk83 15y ago* Lack of a docking station -> I second this! I always hate to plug in my display and everything else at home and at work. Still can't belive Apple won't sell me an overpriced docking station....
- bradleyland 15y agoNormally I'd just vote you up, but since no one will see it, I'll vote you up and echo your sentiment. Lack of a docking station -> I third this.

- bradleyland 15y agoThey do look great, but you can't use your Macbook as a second monitor with it.
- bsphil 15y agoHow many peripherals do you have? I've never thought of that as "so time consuming", but maybe I just don't plug/unplug that much.
