Hello everyone,
I'm from Pakistan and i just got a macbook for myself 3 days ago. This is my first mac and I was quite apprehensive about getting it and took sometime to decide whether I should get one or not. I took my risk and boy oh boy I'm so happy that I did take this huge step. I don't know about later but uptil now, I am just loving using my macbook everyone second. No offense but I don't even feel like looking at my PC anymore.
Anyways, I have a few questions, which I thought I should ask here. I did check a few basics for the switchover users to get an idea about things. However, I would appreciate if you could kindly respond to my queries. If these things have been asked before then my apologies...
1. For my word processing requirements, which one is the best option??? iWork or MS Office for Mac?
2. I used utorrent on PC to download torrents and I pretty much liked it. I know utorrent is now available for mac but can anyone tell me any other good software for Mac to download torrents or is this one good enough?
3. As a mac user, what are the things as far as the internal maintenance is concerned that I should be concerned about on a regular basis?
4. Can anyone tell me about the battery? Since we are having major load shedding issues in Pakistan so I was wondering how to ensure a good battery life. I did charge my battery fully for the first time and then utilized the whole of it and then again charged it full and now using my battery, however, can anyone briefly tell me how the battery works and what if my electricity goes while the system is being charged. In that case, will the battery cycle would be wasted?
5. I used to use Faststone Image viewer and image resizer in my PC. Can anyone suggest me a good program equivalent to that and I'd appreciate if its free.
Right now, I can only think of these questions and I'd highly appreciate if you could answer these. If anything else comes in my mind, which I'm not clear about, I'd surely post that later. Please help me out here kindly.
Thank you
Regards
