Hey guys,
First time on the forum and currently a PC user. Getting sick of Windows and looking to upgrade to a Macbook Pro 2.2Ghz Machine. Looking at using this for university. and my main concerns stem from this.
Q1. All the university PC's run XP. Lets say for example i type up my word document on the mac (which has a different extention file) and then try and open it up on the PC's at uni which run windows, because it has a different extention will it not be compatible?
Q2. Apple care protection plan, now that costs $400 ish dollars, is it worth it for the extra warrnenty and phone support or does that protection plan include more than just that?
Q3. I work in a phone shop so i know the prosess for how phones get repaired or replaced. What is apple like in terms of warrenty repairs and replacement gaurentee's? Do they take forever or are they quick? (Bear in mind im in Australia)
Q4. I heard iwork doiesnt come "out of the box" just like Mr Jobs says it does? does it mean i have to buy iwork on top of the already huge cost of my Macbook Pro?
Q5. Can i network my mac with my other 2 pc's in the house and file share? or is that hard and to complicated?
Q6. Currently have ADSL Wi-Fi running through a Billion router....should it be easy enough to pick up the signaal through the mac using the airport express that is built in?
Q7. Long term, is it worth it guys? im spending 3 grand on a machine, is it worth the investment? Do they last as long as people say they do.
Cheers
