4 things the MacBook Pro gets right

I've been using a MacBook Pro for a while now, and while I still prefer Linux over OS X (with the exception of  Safe Sleep), here are 4 things I love about the hardware:
  • Backlit island-style/chiclet keyboard that is very comfortable and an absolute saviour  when working at night and in low-light situations.
  • Large trackpad that is a joy to use.
  • MagSafe, the magnetic power connector, which has saved the laptop a couple of times from serious damage.
  • The nifty external battery indicator.
