[QUOTE="cheezeweezle, post: 916142, member: 120737"] Hi all! Bought a 13" macbook pro with 2gb of ram and immediately upgraded to 4gb. I am totally new to OS X and think i've adapted to it fairly well. There is definitely a learning curve to it tho. It has been about 3 weeks now and I can easily navigate through it. Pros: -Beautiful screen -nice design -the os does really guide you along -iphoto with face recognition is awesome :p -easy to upgrade components -has features included that you have to install 3rd party apps on windows cons(for me): -it is way way slower on boot up than any windows machine i have (including an old single core athlon 2.0ghz with a 1gb of ram) -it has been crashing programs or "beachballing" a lot -needs 1 more usb and a hdmi port :P -as I am disabled, i need an onscreen keyboard; windows has os x blown away on this front [/QUOTE]
