Macbook....Really worth it???

[philly5fan]

Im looking to get a new laptop since my motherboard got fried on my HP....Im thinking about making the switch to a mac, but we all know how much more priceythey are I just want NTs opinions on them.....so basically a macbook...or just go with another PC

 

[seeing sounds]

theres an official thread..

I have a Macbook and love it. But i mean honestly, a computer is a computer, if you can't afford then don't get it

 

[shaq diesel 34]

I love my macbook, absolutly love it, but if your tight on money, probably not. Though they are giving the Ipod Touch with them now (which IMO would make itworth it)

go to the mac store and try it out yourself. you're not going to get an unbiased answer here

 

[philly5fan]

O i aint even know we had an official thread on this...but yea the money aint a problem just wondering if they worth the money

 

[cobra kai]

Some will say no and some will say yes. You not gone get a right answer from NT.

I'm still rocking with my Powerbook G4 I bought in Sept 05. I just upgraded the RAM and its a beast. I will stay with the aluminum casing though on my nextpurchase.

 

[eiddyfouw]

On a Macbook Pro right now.

Yes.

just remember that you're not paying for specs but rather the software. to me, osx>windows. period. if you don't care about which operating systemyou're working with, just cop a PC and save some cash. if you like osx and prefer it over windows or you just don't like windows, go w/ the mac.

blah!

What do you not like about windows though?

I love my mac, go check one out for yourself though

i have a macbook pro and i love it.... only thing that pisses me off is how much the aluminum case heats up... anyone have solutions??

 

[food4thgt]

So does anyone have the aluminum 13 inch ? Ive been saving up but I do know which one to get...

On the military base round my way we have the old one (the one without the sd card slot or the backlit keyboard) for about 999..

Should I wait and save up so more money for the new one (which is about 300 dollars more) or just keep it simple ?

Any suggestions ?

 

[23kidd]

I was in the same position,took a chance and now I love my mac...

 

[food4thgt]

^^^ which one do you have??

 

[da doc03]

go to the mac store and try it out yourself.

[food4thgt]

[hollakid619]

Yeah mayne! Its definitely worth it. Get it, dont think about it. You wont regret it and nows the best time.

new macs are the best, most laptops even have resale value !!!, 2 fingure scroll, no virus, turn on and off really fast, super easy to do monthly updates, thecomputer are able to run a bunch of big programs at a time and are not slow like PC. No virus ever!!! Battery life is way better compare to PC. there a zillionreason why mac are good.

 

[parada45]

With the interest he'll pay more than the thing it worth. What's the interest on this payment plan?

 

[nostrandave68]

Just got a Macbook 2 months ago, definitely worth it.

I purchased it through Best Buy so I have 0% interest for 18months, hopefully it will be paid off by then.

I got a MacBook the white one not the aluminum

.. I love mine got it last year and still no problems
