[QUOTE="ThePope43, post: 1178002, member: 157189"] 1) Any major OS update(such as snow leopard to leopard) is only 29$ from Apple. That's equivalant of like, Vista to Windows 7...so thats a great deal. 2) Get a portable hard drive that is reliable brand, such as an Iomega drive and your mac will automatically set it up as a Time Machine. Time Capsule is if you want to backup across your network...which is preferable if you have the extra money to spend. *Note* No windows cannot access drives formatted by mac because they use a different file system 3) I consider the Macbook as a basic-user experience(internet, email, facebook, word/keynote/numbers) If you do anything past that then I suggest the Macbook Pro, especially if you do any type of gaming. If there is anything else you'd like to know just ask away and I, or anyone else who posts, will answer to the best of their abilities I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
