Recently my school got Apple's laptops and computers given to each student and throughout the school. All students got Macbooks and the computer labs got iMacs. I was a strict Dell only, PC gal. Growing up working in a computer software company, I always used PCs. I was reluctant to use the Macs, and found it frustrating to use the Macs.

Now, I find it frustrating to use my mother's Dell. It annoys me when I can't use some things like finder and the layout button, things I used to hate. Since Mac's have such good features and specialized buttons and things it makes people confused or frustrated but now I'm in love.

I may have no always been a Mac-girl but I was always an iPod girl, owning over 6 iPods throughout my life. One time I walked into a Apple store because both my iPod Touch and iPhone were broken. I was actually on a field-trip to city and I only had about 20 minutes to really fix them. They couldn't figure it out in 10 minutes, and I was just going to come back but instead they just replaced them. I was so relieved. I've never had that kind of service in my life.

This experiences are why I'm purchasing my 17 inch MacBook Pro this March. I'm so excited. While it's not small like a netbook. I really need this big screen for studying to become a graphic desginer and visual effects artist. I just thought I'd share while I love Apple's products soo much. :D

It's cheaper, faster, has more consumer-friendly features and now even has a 13-inch option for people who need slightly more portability. Those people who were waiting for the second-iteration version of a new hardware design (a pretty smart rule to follow with Apple products in general) before upgrading can safely do so now and get a better deal in the process.

By the way, six weeks with a MacBook Pro and I can't be bothered to work on my Acer Win XP laptop. I've installed Win XP through VirtualBox on my Mac and it works perfectly. Games run smoothly, even CS4 which was slow in Vista, is very fast. I also work with a Wacom Intuos and the handwriting recognition software on the Mac is much better than Windows'. Can only recommend the MacBook Pro. I would never go back to Win.Anoynymous

You're an idiot! It's not called a wimp but a woman and most of us have cold hands. Having said that, you've probably never seen one, which would explain why you wouldn't know.

I am looking to buy a 15″ Macbook pro for my teenager. How much should I pay for a second hand notebook with 500 GB Hard drive? Thanks for your response

Who needs a netbook when you can have an iphone? They do all of the stuff people want netbooks for. Web browsing, e-mail, light games, music. And it's even a cell phone. One less gadget to lug. My next laptop will be a macbook pro. My next netbook? The 4g iPhone.
