Want to make the switch

My daughter's Dell desktop is on it's last leg and I am considering getting her a MacBook.
Is the lowest price MacBook have enough in it to handle a teen's instant messaging, ITunes, etc...?
Also, her computer has always been hard wired to the network router. Can it still be hard wired with the Mac Book?

1) Yes, it is more than good enough for teen usage.
2) It does not have a DVD writer, so just be sure that is cool with the teen
3) It can be hard wired using LAN, no probs there. Just plug and surf.

looky her. i wish my dad would buy me a macbook

Yep it will be great for her and will give her something to use for a while. I use a Macbook in college and its perfect.

yep just make sure that the Combo drive is enough, she might want a Superdrive as it does give you the ability to burn DVDs. i was going to get a Combo drive but i am very glad i didn't...i think going with a Superdrive is worth the extra money.

thanks everyone for your comments!
