FiBTLforlife Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) just got the new macbook with 4gb memory and 500db hard drive. Total for the computer with shipping was $1,200 which I new it was going to be a little costly but i wanted to try out apple this school year. I've owned toshiba and IBM and dont like Dell to much. The last comp I had was 1gb mem and 60gb hard drive so i think im going to notice a huge differance. anyone have a apple macbook and think I should know anything before i get it? any major flaws to look out for and so on. thanks Edited December 15, 2009 by FiBTLforlife Quote 2 AQ 10'' HDC3 copper subs 1 3500d AQ amp 146.3db on TL with stock electrical in single cab truck at 32hz RESULT: 1st place at comp, 3rd overall out of 20 cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall id say go for it, i plan on owning one one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynbo Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 anyone have a apple macbook and think I should know anything before i get it? any major flaws to look out for and so on. thanks Hows it going I have using mac's for a few years, I use a macbook pro one of the things you may add is Firefox.

Boon Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Make sure you check in your pants. Your wedding tackle may have fallen off. Happens to a lot of people around the time that they buy a Mac Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundman72 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) I owned a iBook for 4 years and it has been great, a buddy of mine actually bought it from me recently; 1.2 Ghrz G4, 1.xx GB ddr2, 60 gb HD, 32mb GPU. Now keep in mind things are "slower" on old computers only because at you have experienced something new and faster. It never gave me any serious issues or acted up; yes sometimes you might have to power cycle them (macs) or something else random might happen, but that happens with any computer. Our shop alone has gone through 12 different PCs, 10 Macs, and countless printers. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro for my return to college and have been pleasantly surprised with it the entire time. Now, yes.... the components that make up a Mac are the same as with PCs; BUT...............You pay for far far far far far far FAR less sh!t. Virus? ha.. Malware? ha.. Spyware? ...no.. "Oh but you just run software to clean.." Yes, but how about a computer than doesn't NEED that mommy care? Macs are not upgradable like most PCs, laptops obviously don't count. Macs can do anything (damn near- everyone can find a loophole) that PCs can, granted they are not the best for gaming unless you step it up to a higher end model. The feel of a mac is different than a PC, but it's all software related aside from a couple keys. I think if you're open minded about computers and not all "I know html...mmm...C++....mmm DOS monkey.." You'll be just fine; think of it as a new game console...just gotta get the hang of it.
