[QUOTE="Dr.Gonzo, post: 498615, member: 39162"] Giggleheimer, Bro, I'm a college student as well. When my $3,000 IBM crashed and took all of my papers with it exam week I knew I was gonna switch. It will be the best decision of your life. As for Word, or just Office in general, I run Office for mac and I think it actually works much better than the Windows version once you get used to it (and, sorry to say bud, that might be a while.) You can always run Office through boot camp or parallels. I have a Mac Pro with four gigs of ram and bunch of other really nice peripherals and such and my apple care plan was ridiculously expensive. You have to remember though that Apple charges a premium price for a premium product. Get the warranty, esp because of all the little nasties that can go wrong with a laptop screen. Other than that, I freakin hate using windows only machines now. The closest I can get to another operating system without throwing up is Linux, and I really don't see the big deal with that either. Switch, you'll love it. Dr.Gonzo [/QUOTE]
