Hi my first post on Mac-Forums.
I thought it would help to register with a Mac forum since I am switching next week an I got a few questions. (Sorry for long post)
Ok so I have been using Windows PCs for almost 20years, the first piece of tecnology I got to grips with as a kid!
So I am expecting a learning curve, but love challenges.
Presently posting this thread on my iPhone 3Gs. Love them.
I am deffinitly buying a MBP in either 15-17" versions, almost deffinitly 17"!
I plan on using my Mac for media (Music/Dvds), light gaming, may put windows 7 on it, an office work.
1. I am very experianced with MS Office 2003 (word, excel, PowerPoint)
would you recommend office or iWork (Going to uni, an my collegue uses word 2003+2007)?
2. iLife? Is the 2009 version included as standard, an is iPhoto good for basic manipulation of pictures, above an beyond what's stated on apples website? I am still very inexperianced in photo editing. Or is apeture advised?
3. Is the Ram, Hard drive an Battery all changeable when needed?
4. Any thing else you could advise a complete Mac noob?
5. What size of Mac would you advise for my uses? No budget with good reason.
I await your replys, in anticipation.
With regards VIPeR
