Ease of use? It's nearly flawless. The computer comes free of bundled software, which is something I must say should be a requirement for all computers in the future. The design and screen is reminiscent of the DS Lite, with a glossy finish on the outside and a matte inside. Portability, hell yes - it's light enough to carry anywhere, and small enough to fit into most backpacks without any trouble. The best part is how well everything integrates together, iChat, iTunes, Safari, and even Microsoft Office (which you need to buy BTW). Also, if you are uncomfortable using the Apple key to copy and paste things, you can always manually set them to use the CTRL key in System Preferences.
The touchpad seems to be annoying at times, especially when it comes to scrolling requiring the "two-finger" touch which confuses itself as a right click, so I've found everything works so much better with an external mouse. Also, the edge of the laptop is surprisingly crisp, so it might bug those who rest their wrists on it.
Other than that, battery life is superb, it looks way better than Vista, and simply put, it's one of the most beautiful technologies you can own for less than a grand today. 9.2/10.
