Well, I think I'm going to go with a Mac book, everyone goes on about how great they are and how many fewer problems there are.
My only hangup is that I will be using this for school and my school and most other people use mostly Windows programs (Powerpoint, word, etc)
How does these to types of computers work together? Will I be able to email an essay to my instructor who has a PC from a MAC?

I went with my friend to get her mac in the store but i would have to drive 2.5 hrs to get there and with gas prices the way they are i would rather just buy it online.

How does it work when you are buying it with the education discount online. How do i prove that i am a college student? Do they just ask me for my student number or something?

Anyone done this?

I called my computer's support line to make sure that it was the correct one and that it would work. However, when I slid in the chip, the small slit at the end of the chip that goes it first does not align properly (by what seems to be mere micrometers) with the part it's suppose to fit it. The width is correct but the slit is the only problem. Is the chip defective? Was I lied to by the support line?

I should say that what i am using now is a Gateway desktop from about 6 yrs ago.

All i will be using it for is school (papers, research), downloading music, burning cds rarely, surfing the internet, and instant messaging.

I will not be editing movies or anything like that. I will not be burning DVDs so i don't need to get the next model up with superdrive.

My friend says to upgrade the harddrive to the next level but do i really need to if that is all i would be doing?

Thanks♥

I just made a new account on my mac, and the safari doesn't seem to be there. On the dock, there is just a grey question mark where the safari icon should be.

The last few months I've heard nothing but great things about the iPhone... unfortunately I also heard nothing bad about MacBook Pro and I bought one which turned out to be a complete pile of sh!t -- we're talking absolutely ZERO ability to play games for $2500. Is the iPhone worth my $$ or just another scam?

I bought the MacBook Pro because Apple told me it would be better than a PC. They were completely full of sh!t and just fed me whatever bull they wanted to make a sale. The MacBook can't do ANYTHING. It works with virtually NO games. My neighbor bought himself a new HP laptop (same thickness as MacBook Pro) and he can do everything and MORE than my pile of hud can -- all at a fraction of the cost of what I paid!!! Seriously, why does Apple insist on screwing its customers?

I want to buy a laptop and I know I want it from Apple but I am just confused on which one to buy? I know that the MacBook Pro is more expensive but it catches my eye most. The regular MacBook is good but what are the diffrences from both of these? Which one should I buy?
