Apple releases Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" and refreshes Macbook Air, Mac mini

[noob]

Things I haven't liked in OSX Lion
1. Depressing gray login screen which cannot be changed
2. Launchpad doesn't have a convenient shortcut key
3. Old three-finger vertical swipe for page up/down is gone.. worse, its the same as four-finger swipe.
4. Four-finger sideways swipe used to bring up task list, now it just toggles between desktop and dashboard

Even I am thinking of going the hackintosh way using an Intel-based laptop. $29 is cheap for an OS.

^^ I guess hackintosh can also be used in amd laptops as well if they support sse4, sse4.1 instruction set.

Well well. The US price for the Macbook Air 13-inch is $1299 (Rs 58k). India price is Rs 74k. It looks like a great option at 58k TBH. Why this huge disparity in prices.

Taxes.

And a US student will get MBA 13" for like 53-54k plus $100 to spend on the Mac App Store. Absolutely fantastic deal.
