I'm considering buying either a Macbook or a Macbook Pro because I really like te look, feel and operating system. My problem is, I'm not sure if I'd be downgrading from my PC.
I have an HP Pavillion dv3000. It has 4 GB of Ram and I think 250 gigs of hard drive. I noticed that regular Macbooks only have 2GB of RAM. One of the main reasons I want a new laptop is because with all my music and files, this HP has become a little sluggish. Will downgrading to 2 GB of RAM be going to a slower computer?
On a different note, I noticed that Pro's have 4 GB of RAM. Would I essentially be buying the same thing? I don;t know enough about computers to really know.
One last thing, I'm in a masters program for writing, and I have a lot of stories saved in Microsft Word on my laptop. Util I can afford to get Word for the Mac, assuming I buy one, will these files be readable and editable in Open Office for Mac? Thanks!
