Macs are the same, theres always some 1-200mb security update waiting that requires you to reboot - annoying on a laptop if you leave it in hibernate most of the time.

There's also the button issue, easy to deal with on a desktop you just plug a different mouse in but on a laptop you can't swap the trackpad.

My wife likes it, but I think it's more because its a laptop than because its a mac and she ignores things like security updates...
