WOW Factor for the Macbook Pro hardware - 6/10 [Currently my PC notebook has a WOW factor of 4/10 and it works great and performs good too] - Tejas Patel

WOW Factor for Mac OS X - 5/10. This is what I think after using it for 2 days. I have used Windows all my life so I am still learning but the good thing about the OS X is it's simplicity. - Tejas Patel

Simplicity and precision works! Apple has proven this with their products. The product can still be simple and make user efficient in getting the output.

So I will stick with Firefox as the main browser on the Macbook for now. - Tejas Patel
