Should I get a brand new Macbook? I need advice..?

Question

I want to get a Macbook but i'm unsure of it because they are so exspensive. For you Macbook or Mac owners, what exactly do you own? Hoe do you like it? Enjoy it? Should i? i'm in college, i'm used to Windows but i plan to get the software to use both Windows & Mac on the Macbook....also, anyone know if any new Macbooks are coming out during the new year? Should i wait? What's your advice? Thanks!

I am in business with my MacBook and I love it but not with out some reservations.

The differences in quality and usability that I have found are the following.

My MacBook is very smooth to use, it never freezes and is easy to use with lots of feel good compenents like built in camera that is installed and connected to software that is easy to use, everything is already connected with no irritating installs. The smooth experience is the product of every component on my computer, including most of the software being made by apple, for apple. When you buy a PC parts come from all over the place, made by thousands of different people, thats why things go wrong.

The only drawbacks are 1. the price and 2. compatibility. Sometimes I find things that run only on PC's or when I send a document over from my apple to my boss's PC the spacing is off. I am computer savvy but not an expert by any means and I can usually overcome any problem with a little problem solving.

If you get the mac expect to fall in love with lots of little conveniences but dont forget, you payed for them.

I never had one myself, but i have borrowed one from my friend. It has a way better style than any other laptop brand hands down. Even the desktop controls are cool and u can download coool applications for it. It has cool magnets for the ports, and it has way more security than a Windows platform.



HAving a macbook, the controls are a little more similar to your average windows computer. (as u might know using a apple desktop for the first time is a real challenge.)

Macbooks are more expensive but overall i say get 1! maybe even 2..or3...heck 4 and mail me 1 :)



Osx leapord came out recently so dont worry about a new operating system coming out

here is a pretty goood macbook.

its small so its easy to travel with and with 2.0GHz i think it can handle a lot............

and in response to the poster above, Macs can get virii.

And Macs are just as commonly used as Windows.....with professionals. Your average person would just pick windows because they think its the best. It is very difficult to write viruses for macs, so that is an advantage.

Answer 4

If you are a casual computer user then I think you will love MacBook. It just looks great feels great but if you are already into PC and use a lot of PC software then I guess you should think about it more as you might find Mac frustrating at first.

For great MacBook deals, you should try ebay.

http://www.macbooksale.com lists ebay auctions in well organized categories so you should be able to find what you want.

Answer 5

I dint think to buy the BRAND new is a good thing. They might have errors that are not fixed yet. Better buy the last year, so at least they already know their mistakes and working on to fix it.

Its also been said there no viruses on Mac, but its not that there is no viruses, its that not many people have Mac, so not many people actually write viruses for it. But wait a little bit, and there will be plenty.

Also its supergood cause it has wireless internet, so wherewhere there is network in the air, and not blocked - you got internet! You can park on a street, and use internet from somebody else's house. Pretty cool.

Answer 6

I have a Macbook with the twin processors. It's lovely for pretty much everything, but I do recommend also getting Office for Mac which is much better than Appleworks. The operating system is very self-explanatory- if anything easier than Windows (it is for me anyway). I would recommend it for anyone. So much easier than PCs.

Answer 7

It sounds like the liquid crystal reveal reveal is leaking. It probable have been given broken in the process transport. Take it as much as an Apple shop. I dropped mine and the reveal stop working. They replaced it with a extra ideal laptop interior of 10 minutes. they have staggering guarantee!

Answer 8

I don't own one, but I would like one too. I may suggest going to an Apple Store. They can tell all you may need about them. From what I have read, they are powerful and really good. Good Luck with finding one. And yes, they are expensive, a bit too expensive in my opinion...
