I just got my first mac about a month ago. (13" macbook pro)
here are the differences I've noticed:
1) yes there is right click option, but at least on my mbp, it's not as easy as hitting the bottom right of the trackpad as one should expect, there is a real small sweet spot that one has to hit. around 40% of the time I don't get the correct spot.
2) when I open a pdf or other document off the internet/email, even if I choose open instead of save to option, it still seems to save to my desktop (I choose my desktop as default download location for things). This is a slight annoyance to me.
3) There is no delete button as there is on a windows based keyboard. On my mac, the delete button is the backspace button. I know you can press fn+delete and a few of the features delete has works, but not all (mainly sending things to the trash-can as the #1 thing i wish it worked for). Even still having a pysical delete would be better than having to press two buttons.
4) Unless I'm missing some plug-ins that I haven't thought about (I have vlc and divx), not all of the sites I used to use for streaming videos have worked now on my mac.
5) scrolling while I like the 2 finger instead of the right side only, I find my screen flickers slightly if it's text only on the screen.
6) I've had my computer freeze around 4 times already. Something I was lead to believe doesn't happen as often compared to a windows based computer (Thus far I would say it happens to me more often)
7) It does look real nice. No stickers placed all over it like a race car.
8) The power cord magnet (one of the main reasons I wanted this computer) is nice and works awesome, but does grind against the computer body every time its removed (I don't think it is scratching or anything, just annoying on a new machine).
9) As sort of already mentioned, I have a love hate relationship with the trackpad, on one hand all the pre-built gestures are great and convienent, on the other some things with it are pretty finicky.
Overall it's a computer I bought it mainly because they are known to be up there in reliability compared to a few other manufacturors. I like learning new things and many businesses are using macs, so this is something I can jump in and already know if I get a job where I'm using one.
I'm someone who jumps right in and starts using my stuff though; the first day I got my computer I already switched my browser to FF, downloaded a few torrents *cough* games and office *cough*, downloaded a few apps (remove foreign languages and remove startup sound), and a few other things.
Everyone knocks the prices of them, but for what I wanted, the prices were very comparable if not exactly the same.
I don't really understand all of the hype thus far, but I've never really been a hypebeast.
