Typical Apple: cumulative "Service-unfriendliness", (eg no possibility of installing a larger hard drive). But who needs a powerful device for mobile audio and photo editing, is well served by the powerful processor, the generous memory and above all with the brilliant and very true color display. I use a dual boot system - Mountain Lion for sound recording and editing and Kubuntu Linux LTS for photo processing of RAW data, with a common home partition. The KDE interface in Linux requires rework in the display setting, as initially is tiny and hardly legible due to the high resolution everything, even it is recommended to connect an external mouse to take full advantage of the system.
