[QUOTE="Alenkiy, post: 813576, member: 90118"] Hello everyone! I am buying my first Mac and have many questions. I will appreciate your help! First of all, I am buying: MacBook 13", 2.4 GHz, 4 GB. Decided to wait with SSD... 1. Will I be able to upgrade my Mac to SSD later? Are HDD and SSD easily switched? 2. Does Apple Care help with upgrades? Btw, when they say that Apple Care "repairs", do they mean that they cover the full cost of repairing? 3. I am going to run Windows XP on my Mac using Boot Camp. I don't need parallel working with two OSs at the same time. My plan is to primarily work with Mac's OS. But I have one important software that wouldn't run on Mac... - Am I right not wanting to use Parallel software? ...and this software may need an occasional access to the Internet. - Would I need an antivirus for Windows? I have cable internet at home, which means that I am online 24/7. - Would I need an antivirus for Mac OS? 4. Is there any difference between Microsoft Office for Mac and Windows? Would you advice one over the other? I will be happy to get any answers, covering all or single questions. Thank you many times! [/QUOTE]
