I'm about to buy my first mac...suggestions please!
Moving over from the dark side...
As my PC has bitten the dust after 5 years (is it unreasonable to think thats a poor return for money!?) I have decided to take the plunge and go Mac.
However.. my kids need to be able to take homework into school on memory sticks in Word format etc..so my question is:
Am I best off getting a Mac and having dual boot so they can use it as a windows pc, or wtll getting the mac and having mac office on it be sufficient for compatibility with school pcs?
Non of us are gamers so there are no software compatibility problems there (. I want a mac cos I'm fed up with viruses sneaking into my computer, and my hobby is photography so I am hoping that the mac will be better for my editing stuff. Obviously I'm going to have to buy some new software there so any suggestions for that too woild be great.
Can't afford more than £1200 ..will that buy the basic? What can I get for my money!?!
I am nervous about the switch but excited at the same time!!
