[QUOTE="nirvana, post: 529474, member: 25139"] To open Word, Power point and Excel files you could buy Microsoft office for mac or get open office which is free. It doesn't get very sunny much in England :P However the screen is ok not great in direct sunlight. With boot-camp you designate how much space you want in the Windows partition. Never used the mighty mouse with my macbook i use a standard cheap mouse which works great for me. With iPhoto 08 you can adjust the histogram, crop, red eye remove and add a range of effects Aperture is more advanced than this, if your a serious amateur or a pro then the extra features would help out, however i prefer Photoshop CS3 to Aperture. I don't think you can make Gifs with it though. Battery life is generally good depending on what you are doing normal usage with airport on will last 2-3 hours playing dvd's and cpu intensive programs you can get little over 2 hours thats what i've found. However there are lots of easy options for minimizing power usage. I would try to live with one battery before splashing out on a second. [/QUOTE]
