I don't need a macbook as I already have a laptop, but for some reason I really want one. Boys and their toys I have never used a mac before so want to get some opinions as to the pros and cons of a macbook. I will be using it for general office type tasks, online work, etc.
Thats its, there is something about the mac that makes me want to buy one even though i know its probably not worth it. I think its mainly that they look good and like the idea of trying something different. Are there any practical benefits like speed of running multiple applications, etc. ?
I would like a mac too, even if I don't use Adobe/Macromedia software. The idea of being different appeals
If you can afford it, go for it. I switched to a Mac Book Pro about 18 months ago. After a week or so getting used to (a) the keyboard and (b) Mac OS X, I have never looked back. Computing has become FUN again, in a way it hasn't been since my old Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Plus, switching back and forth with Windows at work, I think my general computing skills have improved as well. Yes, I am a shameless Mac fanboi.
If you enjoy working as little as possible, get the MacBook. It makes life so much easier and everything moves faster.
theyre really cool, they have just about everything youd ever want in a computer but they dont run most games and are fairly expensive
I never used to like MAC's in the past, but as soon as I have enough dollar Im going to bet myself a MACBook
Buy a macbook, they're great. I'm in school and have a macbook with 4 gigs of RAM and it does whatever I need it too. If I were you and you had the extra money I would buy a macbook pro however if you are just the average consumer the macbook should be just fine for you. Plus it comes with iLife and iWork is only $80.00 and I think that it surpasses office in many areas. Just my thoughts, Macbookman08
