A digital camera slimed its deceitful way into my group of possessions and before long, I had a Dell (I called it Adolph) full of my things. I had often wished Adolph had presence of mind so that I could subject him to the fear, pain, frustration and overall hopelessness I was forced to endure at his evil keys and mouse. When he finally crashed (with the name Adolph and our past problems, I have to say I'm glad it happened), I broke down and bought a Mac - the second cheapest Mac book, the one with the DVD burner and 120 Gigs. The folks at the shop were able to transfer my files without too much trouble, but explained that I would have to organize them myself. from Digitaltrends.com Pros: sleek design, Mac OS is fine; battery, wireless and compatibilty work well Cons: Processor speed, power supply problems, a crappy mouse, all for more than a Dell I was a PC user who loved the look of Mac products, as well as Mac software like Quicktime and iTunes. I had also used Macs in my university computer cluster and loved them. from Yahoo.com Pros: Software, Look, Ease of Use, Cons: Battery life could be better, Some minor issues with the batter... This Mac Book is amazing. I love the speed and ease of use. from Yahoo.com Pros: Fast, long battery, thin, bright, nice Cons: NONE! I got this macbook and I found out that it has no viruses so I don't need to worry about that. I also can save money by not buying an antivirus. from Yahoo.com Switching from a Windows PC is a chore. I purchased the Macbook Pro expecting as advertised that my software would be installed. Worse many, many hours were required to download system updates though I don't know if ithey nstalled or where. from Digitaltrends.com This is my first Mac. I've used Macs in the educational environment for many years, and use Windows PCs at work, and have always had a preference towards PCs at home. from Digitaltrends.com

Pros: Widescreen display with nice resolution, Thin and light, built-in Webcam, remote control, can run Windows XP

Cons: High operating temperatures, Poor 3D performance, No ExpressCard 34 slot.

Apple MacBook Quick Specs:

from Yahoo.com I got my laptop only to find out that the keyboard didn't work and I had to take it in to apple and get it repaired when I needed it for work. Not cool selling products that are still damaged as repaired. from Amazon.com I sold it now i have the same but with Core 2 Duo which came with 1 more gig in ram and 20 gig more for the same price... but i really like this computer. If you wan't a notebook computer buy a macbook, if you work with it, buy it in black which looks even better and has a more resistant finish. from Amazon.com This was my first Mac. I switched to Apple from PC and nver looked back. from Amazon.com
