Apple MacBook Pro —

I purchased my first Apple laptop in 2000, a Pismo G3. It still running but decided I wanted a another laptop, since I already have 2 iMac, one powerpc and one intel. I must admit it was bit expensive but looking back at the longevity of my other Apple laptop I would have to say it is, and will be, more than worth it. Out of the box and up and running in less than 15 minutes. I installed Word for Mac 2008 and it runns so much better then the PC version on windows unit. Sure it is a lot more upfront but I will get more than my moneys worth not have the frustration of working with a MS system.
