why a macbook? everything you want to do with what your saying you can get a Windows based laptop to. Have you even used a MAC OS at all? Might want to try it first before you commit to mac over Windows

He could install XP on the Macbook.

ny times editor is probably using a macbook, probably a mac book pro.


i have a ibook g4 14 inch. ive seen the 13 inch and its nice. very thin and compact. the 1.83 one would be plenty enough for what you plan on using it for if you were out to save money. Also, look up your school :

and youll save about 100 bucks.

one thing i can tell you for sure is to get a gig of memory.

its still a computer. no different than using win xp.

i have a macbook pro 15.4'' screen. its pretty awesome, i havent had any complaints about it. everything is pretty much plug and play, you dont need to install anything really. i have all the things i need for school with the mac version of Microsoft Office, my ipod plugs right in, wireless is great, and you can even get a microsoft wireless usb mouse and both right and left click works. 10/10.

its pretty expensive though, i guess. i have a really customized one. i think i have 2 gigs ram, 100 gigs of hard drive space, etc...

Theres two other ones, but this is the better one.

Thinkpad > all

I used to have a thinkpad, it was amazing. those things are top-knotch laptops, and always have been. thing is, he said he wanted something new, so a mac would be something new...

from my knowledge...IBM has exited the laptop market.

Im pretty sure IBM no longer makes computers, but still manufactures parts. some other company makes the laptop now....i think...

[quote="TGB!":7df38]is manufactured by the BMW of PC's - IBM/Lenovo.[/quote:7df38]

i don't give a shit...but my fingerprint scaner on my laptop amkes me think i deserve to be int he next mission impossible movie.

It's white.

bought it.

2.0GHz Intel Core Duo
1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x512
80GB Serial ATA drive
SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW)

for what i need it for, that should be good.

That should say it all.

Wtf, macs still don't have right/left click mice on desktop models?

Most new macs have the new mouse which has one shell with no visible buttons, but upon putting pressure on where their typically would be two mouse buttons on a PC, you find there are infact two buttons.

I'm using one of those mac mice right now.

It "right-clicks" and scrolls. It just looks like a suppository...but it works fine.

im not buying a mac mouse, i dont like them

Ahh, my gf has a mac and it always ticks me off because I can't right/left click. Such a simple and usefull feature that leaves me to wonder why mac took so long to incorporate.

Actually I could care less, I hooked up a wireless router at her place so I could use my lappy there. eek:

control click, or just buy a different mouse, for those that think its such a big deal - Its not the single defining factor of all macs everywhere.

they didnt ship it within 3 days so now i get a 3 year extended warrenty... nice biggrin:

Apple just got fucking owned!

coulblacka just got fucking owned. He bought a proprietary peice of crap.


Thinkpad > All.

(This coming from someone who USES a Mac on a daily basis. (Dual CPU G5 Units.). The only thing that I remotely enjoy is video Editing, BUT with Avid and Premier Pro 2.. Why would I touch final cut pro....
