[QUOTE="Ge64, post: 503545, member: 33931"] Our school is making us all get Macbooks by this year. Many have already got theirs and everyone thinks they rock as soon as youve gotten used to Mac OS. Macbooks are really great for school because they are small and everything, plus the OS is perfect for creative people and education. iWork will own MS Office for any school project anywhere from homework to final coursework because of it's ease of use and it's easy to make beautiful projects and presentations. iMovie and other stuff like Adobe CS3 all work fine on even the cheapest Macbook available as far as I know, though I would always recommend getting up to 2 GB of RAM, it helps speed everything up a lot. The Core 2 Duo inside the Macbook is way better than the P4, so I think it would at least be as fast as your desktop at anything, probably (much) faster. Don't expect to play any games on it though, unless they are older, because the Macbook doesnt have a very good graphics processor, it's fine for anything else though. I would at least wait another half a month for the new version of Mac OS X, Leopard, to be released, because you will get it free with your new Macbook then. Also, it's possible that the Macbooks will get a hardware upgrade soon (ive read somewhere) so you might want to wait and see if that happens any time soon. [/QUOTE]
