Hey how is everyone? Ok I'm looking in to buying a laptop for college, so I just want some information on the macbook. Like the subject of this thread says, I am an accounting major and I will mainly be using for school purposes. I do of course also browse the web, watch some online video's and listen to music but other then that not much else.
The hardest thing to do is to justify the price. The only reason I ever seem to hear for the high price is that mac's don't get viruses, well almost never get them. I have a PC at home and it is slowed down by a million viruses it seems. Also I have always used a PC and I am concerned about the switch.
I plan on going somewhat basic and getting the 13inch macbook with these specifications.
# 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
# 2GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
# 160GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
# Keyboard (English) / User's Guide
# SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
What would you suggest upgrading from here?
What are the basic advantages a macbook has over a pc?
Is it worth paying the extra money for one if I'm not going to be using all the photo and video features?
Is the Microsoft office the same on the mac as it is on a PC?
