[QUOTE="JRJ26, post: 18828"] [SIZE=4]Well, I've always been interested in Macs, but I went to the mall on Saturday, went into the Apple Store, and it changed my perception on computers. Since then, I've been researching Apple, the iBook, PowerBook, and OS X. I've been using Windows since forever(currently XP, sigh). However, I've decided I need a Mac. I'm a senior in high school, so I need a computer for college. I'm already getting a Windows computer from a relative, but I asked my parents for a Mac laptop. My only decision now is whether to get the iBook or PowerBook. 1. Which do you think is better for a student(for both studying and entertainment(DVD,CD, etc.)? 2. How long does it take to learn OS X after years of Windows? Any personal experience? 3. Should I opt for the 12inch or 14inch iBook? What about PowerBook? 4. Since I'm going to college this fall, should I also buy PowerPC since most people on campus will be using Windows? How exactly does it work? Is it a good program? Does it work with EVERY Windows program? 5. Why did you switch to Apple? 6. Why is OS X better than Windows XP? 7. How does the AirPort work? What do I need for it to work(as in, on the Apple site(store), when you customize the laptop, do you need to add all components of AirPort(Extreme?) 8.
