[QUOTE="Hugh Jazz, post: 31970"] i will be using my Mac in college for computer science. interested in 14 in ibook with airport extreme for about 1300 after student discount. I would watch dVds, type reports, other basic tasks. The most important thing is that i have a fast connection to the internet. are there any problems using airport extreme? how will it preform for programming C++, Java, etc. oh, just some other questions does the apple on the back of the lcd really light up, is it true that i get 2 stickers with my computer, any other cool things that mac does? But anyway, my primary concern is i have to learn another OS, i just recently switched my 5 year old desktop from 98se to XP home and the change took me about a week to get used to it, things were moved around in stupid places new appearence etc. will it be a big shock when i first use it or will i just be able to start like ive had it all my life. Also does iDVD work with an external DVD burner? Also, will Apple be reducing prices, or upgrading notebooks before late june early july? Oh, i also love how Macs look so bad ass. all the windows laptops are just clones made by companys and then sold to dell, gateway, etc. i liked the idea of having a OS made by the same company that made my computer. Also, it is so light and small. Back to programming will i have an advantage over my windows using classmates. sorry for the disorganised post. please reply [/QUOTE]
