The Macs have all kinds of neat little tricks under the hood. Theres even a plugin for iPhoto to export photos directly to my homepage Gallery setup. I agree though, the book feature is a really kickass option.

As for the points you mentioned, I only have this to say. The current breed of Mac works kinda like this: You only see what you want to see. If you want to see a "Playschool" kiddie computer, thats what you see. If you look a little deeper and you start investigating a bit you'll find everything you're looking for and more When you get really good though you can really do some awesome things with these machines.
