I made the switch from a PC to a Mac one year ago. My old laptop was just so-so and my parents wanted me to sell it to my Nan, so I decided to upgrade to a seriously "better" computer. I bought the basic MacBook in the Apple store after doing a bit of research for $1,200.
New Things I Can Do:
* I Skype because my Mac has a camera
* I watch DVDs
* From what I've been told, I can do lots more. I just don't know what that entails.
Shortfalls:
* Google Docs has some issues, but I am not sure they are Mac-related
* There is no Page Down or Home buttons on the key board
Long story short, I like the way it looks, but I am probably under-utilyzing what it can do. I don't make art or movies, which is what the Mac was meant to do. I have more capabilities than I know how to use or what to do with.
Do I like it? Yes. I also like that it is white. The only better option would have been blue. Or red.
What I am really waiting for is the Cloud. I am due for a new phone in December, and I will be getting an I-phone so that my phone and computer can synch my Cloud. My Droid is great to email and upload pics to Facebook, but I look forward to a day when all my data is in both places. I have no idea how this Cloud concept works, but I am very excited for it!
I LOVE my Mac. You should explore iMovie and iPhoto! You can do a lot of awesome things like make movies with your photos or edit pictures you take. Veru cool things. Also my FAVORITE thing is..no viruses.... yes!!!!
