I basically made my decision to buy a apple macbook middle of the line. I went to Fry's Electronics and Best Buy today to get a first hand touch on it and see how friendly it is. The design was very sleek and the video seems ok to me. At this time anything is better than my 10 year old desktop lol. I wanted to wait for the upgrade but right now I have no computer since the hard drive broke down (3 in 2 years!) couldn't resist the temptation to get an macbook. I must admit it's much easier to navigate than window xp. I wanted to try the keyboard for myself since some users on here say it's uncomfortable. For me it's ok the pad is very sturdy and have a feel to it, just take a while to get use to the spacing. I also investigated the crack part that some users said have crack next to the trackpad. After pushing down on that spot it seems durable enough so I was satisfy.
Ok to the main question as I'm using it for college. I want to know what's the range of the wifi on the macbook. I have read some post on here that it has better wifi than the macbook. I was wondering is there a possibility that it can receive signals from a mile away? My school is pretty big so I just wanted to make sure because I want it to be a portable machine. Do you guys think it can run window xp and the leopard in a 160gb hardrive smoothly. I'm asking incase if I run into some trouble using the leopard I can just switch over to window xp because I have never use any apple computers.
Also which ipod will you guys recommend with the student promotion. The Ipod touch or the Ipod nano. This is a pretty tough decision since I do jogg sometime at the park with my dog, so the Ipod Touch is kind of large. However, I do want to use the wifi capibilities incase I forget to bring my macbook to school.
