 I'll never use a PC again November 25, 2008

To summarize this product, the MacBook is an amazing laptop. My previous laptop, a Dell, caused me problems the first month I purchased it. It was terribly slow, had a battery life no longer than an hour and a half at most, and often would freeze up while I was using it. After having it only one year, the battery was shot and the computer wouldn't even run unless it was plugged in at all times. Eventually it blacked out and never turned on again. br / br /After all this, the MacBook makes my life so much easier since it runs extremely fast and isn't able to get the viruses that plagued my PC. The programs it comes with are easy to use and have more features than Windows programs. For example, iPhoto will automatically take your imported digital pictures and separate them into different events based on the time they were taken. This saves a lot of time when uploading photos because you don't have to manually select pictures to separate into an album. iChat is a smoother, more professional version of AOL Instant Messenger. Also, the built-in webcam takes surprisingly detailed photos that can be easily edited with the Photo Booth. br / br /The MacBook is a sturdy, dependable computer and is well worth the extra couple hundred bucks since it will save you a lot of the hassle PCs come with. If you need to check something quickly, you can have the computer turned on and the internet running just a few seconds after pushing the power button. It is able to handle multiple programs running at once without slowing down or freezing. br / br /Many people are afraid to purchase a MacBook because they are unfamiliar with it and believe the programs are difficult to run. This isn't true at all, since I've found that the advanced design of Macs is much more simple to navigate then Windows. My dad has the same computer I do and feels the same way. I am always telling my friends to make the switch and get a MacBook.

This laptop has been great so far - one small problem has been waking it up from sleep mode. Only once so far, it wouldn't wake up and I had to remove the battery and hold the start button for 5 seconds - but the manual was superb in showing how to problem solve this issue.
I always wondered if Apple was a good as they say. November 20, 2008

In short, the answer is yes! The mac is not a pc, and you need to know that if you have never had one before there is a learning curve. It just does not do things like you are used to , and it does take some getting used to. br /A week after I had received mine, and after going through what seemed to be the thousandth tutorial, I remarked to my wife that I had really screwed up, and I should have stayed with a pc. Now, some weeks later, I have learned to really appreciate the mac for what it is, a quick, trouble free tool to be used and enjoyed. I am able to do what I want so much easier than with a pc, and I really like it. br /Close the lid, and it hybernates immediately. Open it and it is operational within 5 seconds and that includes being on line. br /When I have to use one of the pc's in the house, I am constantly reminded of how much I love the mac. The delays in operations that I had just learned to live with are now a source of aggravation that I am no longer willing to put up with. I just avoid the pc's on my network if at all possible, and use the mac. br /There are still some software offerings that are not available for the mac or I would throw out every pc in the house. br /Buy the mac and you will love it!! br /I cannot wait for the other computers in the house to need replacing, and ;I will guarantee that the new products will all be Mac.

This is my first time using a Mac,and I don't think I'll ever switch back to PCs again. I am only pissed that the price on Amazon is $200 cheaper. Perhaps price has come down in the past six months?
