first of all, first time mac user . secondly, im not a convert, main PC is still a PC (a64 4000+, 2gigs ram, 7800), this ibook (12.1inch) will be used for taking notes in clases, typing/email, and some WoW (awesome game) SO first of all, is there anything i need to know about macs? i have a few questions:
1. reliablity, how long will this guy last me? im pretty darn gentle with computer stuff, been building my own for about 6 years
2. what kind of battery life can i expect from this? is it better by alot if i turn down brightness?
3. my friend bought office 2k4 about a year ago, and has since had his lappy (g3 900) stolen, and so he gave me his office, as he no longer has use for it, is installing stuff pretty much the same as PC's?
4. how are the specs on this bad boy? i went with this over a much faster PC soley on the fact of battery life, and tiger looks cool. tis a 1.33G4, 512 ram, radeon 9550 32 megs (downclocked 9600) intergrated airport and combo drive
thanks for your time! Mike
