[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 866005, member: 38864"] The new aluminum MacBooks have a trackpad that doubles at the mouse button. The entire trackpad is a button. But how it operates depends on how many fingers you are using and how you are using them. One finger push is left-click, two-finger push is right click. You can scroll pages by simply running two fingers up/down or left/right on the pad, and much more. Once you adapt to it, it truly is awesome. [url=http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/multi-finger-macbook-trackpad-gestures-demonstrated-on-video/]Multi-finger MacBook trackpad gestures demonstrated on video[/url] Unless they are using some really advanced features and formatting in MS Office that aren't replicated in the version for OS X, you should have no worries. You can download OpenOffice or NeoOffice for free. MS Office isn't free. I suggest searching the forums for more discussions about the three. Besides the RAM, the hard drive is easily upgradable. I'm not so sure about the processor itself. There's nothing else that potentially is upgradable. [/QUOTE]
