I'm thinking of buying a Macbook (the white or black version) unfortunately I don't have the money for the new (aluminium and black).
I was just wondering (I've only been using a Mac for about a year) if you guys think these are ok hardware wise? I don't intend to use it for gaming just for iTunes, blogging, photos, facebook, twitter, myspace etc.
Can I install Parallels which allows Mac and Windows installed on the one machine? If the above Macbook's don't have the hardware to run Parallels, do I need to get a Macbook Pro?
Unfortunately, this is the only way I can get my husband to go for a Macbook (he'll only let me get one if he can use windows programs on it) which he needs for work, programming etc.
I guess what I'd like to know is what's the difference between a Macbook and a Macbook Pro?
I try and be technology savvy but when it comes to Mac's I don't really have a clue (I'm still learning). I've been a windows person for a very long time and the only reason I moved to Mac is because I was sick of the blue screen of death, viruses and I've wanted a Mac for a while but found them a bit out of my price range etc. but I love Mac and I really want to know more. I will never go back to windows!
I'd appreciate your advice/suggestions on which macbook or macbook pro is best for what I need. Also re: Parallels (is that program any good or is it a complete waste of money?).
What are the minimum hardware requirements to use Parallels?
Many thanks,
Karen
