This will be my first Mac ever...I am switching from the PC world and this MBP will be replacing my desktop PC for college. I am a medical student, so this computer will be used alot for notes, presentations, multi-tasking, internet, email, and other normal functions. Some light graphic work and photo work may also be done aswell. As far as upgrades go, 2 Gigs of Ram, 100 GB@ 7200 RPM HD, wireless mouse, and MS Office for Mac so far. Here are my questions from a newb to the MAC world:
Two things I needed from my PC were: MS Office with Powerpoint and Word and IE with Outlook Express. I have found out that I can get MS Office for Mac, so that takes care of that. As far as IE...is that supported with Mac, and how can I get that? Do I have to run Windows on my mac to get IE and Outlook Express? Which bring me to my next question.
How does a person run Windows XP on their Mac? Does running some kind of program like this alter the Mac's ability to filter viruses so well as it already does? I am very sorry for the basic questions, but after searching, it seems as though most people know what their talking about on here, and it was a bit over my head at the moment....(newb mac user for ya). I appreciate any advice or comments....Thanks in advance!
