[QUOTE="tobywuk, post: 503594, member: 31239"] Though i dont go to school, I use my macbook for University so im sure it would be a similer sort of use. I find my macbook very good to take with me to university. Here are a few things i like: The sleep function is great i just open up the macbook and bang it loads... all the windows users have to wait lol. Then when im done i just close the lid and put it in my bag. This is very good when you are late to a lecture or just want to leg it after one, no faffing around! The battery life on the macbook is much longer than any other laptop i have used. This is a VERY important factor when using a laptop in a learning environment when you cant plug it in. Mac OSX is much more reliable than windows, no BSOD, errors, computer restarting itself, buggs etc.. its smooth and reliable. Having your computer do this in the middle of taking notes would cause a bit problem for me. The size of the macbook is great. Its not to small to use comfatably but its small and light enought o easily carry around with you everywhere. Also sometimes bigger laptops dont fit on the desks, but a macbook does! If your taking notes in a lesson i highly recommend using Journler. I have already recommended this to a person in one of my lectures and he now loves it and me! lol When you come to open up .Doc word files, powerpoints or excel documents you can! you can either open them in the microsoft mac office suit, or open them up in the apropriate iWork program. There is nothing you can do on windows that you cant do on a mac. If worst comes to the worst just run windows on your mac if you really need to. When it comes to home use, you can plug the macbook into an external screen so its just like having a desktop. Its also heaps more fun to use and play around with than windows.. I could use Photobooth for hours! [/QUOTE]
