I'm tempted by this too (or maybe the upcoming MacBook Air). I'm just worried that I'm not going to like MacOS. I'm pretty happy with Linux, like FOSS, but Apple just has the best hardware at the moment.
Been an OS X user since, well, the preview release.
It really scratches the need-a-unixish-userspace and wants-a-gui-that-makes-some-damn-sense itches really well.
It's hardly perfect, but it's a case where 95% of things work 95% of the time, leaving me to do what I meant to do, and not figure out what stupid thing is broken and what I'm supposed to do to un-broken it.
Modern desktop Linux, especially if you ditch Gnome and go with KDE, is shockingly close, until you run into something that just plain is missing. I can't say I've had an experience like that with OS X so it's staying on the desktop until I do and/or linux makes me an offer I can't refuse.
I will say if you're into "tweaking" shit and customizing everything and enjoy fiddling with the OS endlessly for the sake of fiddling you're probably not going to like OS X. It's more of a 'set your settings, and then don't touch anything' kind of experience.
