Anything else?

Simplicity of macs is really what sold me. I was a PC user from freshman-beginning of my senior year (this year) of college and I just made theswitch in October. Everything works seamlessly together. It really is a much more simple, clean feel. Every program works extremely well together and I'venever had a problem with freezing, crashing, etc. Took me about a day of playing around with it to get used to OS X but I feel like I keep learning new thingsall the time. It was easily the best purchase I've made in a long time.

Plus if you're that concerned with playing your PC games you can always load Windows on it thru BootCamp

But how is it as a laptop? Is it better then a windows laptop? What Advantages does it have over Windows and By Windows I mean Windows 7?

the desktop is basically the same thing as the laptop, only with a slightly faster processor. their iMac use laptop parts. and if it's games you want to play, might as well get a windows laptop, or get a macbook and install windows as dual boot or with VMware/parallels. i've owned 3 MBs (1 G4 iBook and 2 macbook pros) and i've never had problems with their OS. it's reliable, simple to use and looks a lot better than any windows machine i've used (although windows 7 seems like it'll be awesome)

Thanks I know the desktop is faster and all that just wondering how it is when your on the go and all that.

Question outside of browser and documents what functions make stand out above a windows laptop?

Macs dont get viruses...

it really is quite simple to use... like incredibly simple to use... you'll appreciate the simplicity

Yes they do. Just not as much viruses out for macs as opposed to windows since apple only holds about 5% of the market. for the price of a MBP you can get a nice dell gaming laptop.


DELL's are utter garbage. Would never recommend a Dell cpu
