[QUOTE="tjmoor, post: 820365, member: 91987"] The white MacBook that's still being sold new for $1k would be perfect! Sounds like you just need the MacBook, a copy of Microsoft Office 2008, AppleCare, and a case, and you'll be set! Many may tell a new Apple customer to try using iWork, but Office really does have some nice other features, it's easy to get used to if you're coming from using a PC and it has some nice other features. Compatibility is the main thing though that makes using Office 2008 for the Mac better than iWork. Office comes with 3 licenses where iWork comes with 1 (unless you get the 5-installations pack for an extra $20-$100, Office is $150). Check to see if there's an Apple retail store near you. You can try out everything there, get help, and they sell everything right there, too. All these things added up SHOULD cost you about $1450, but it's worth it. This computer will last you a long time IF you take care of it. Hope that helps in what will hopefully become your transition to using/owning a Mac! [/QUOTE]
