Got my 13" Macbook last week and am delighted.  I've been a MAC user since 2002 and wouldn't have any other brand.  Traded in my IMAC (loved it, and am giving it to my daughter and son in law) for this beautiful Macbook.  I wanted the portability of a laptop, as I'm semi retired and living in a small...

My daughter bought a Mac against my better judgement, but she really wanted one.  We went to the Apple store for the purchase and after a hard sell from the clerk, also bought the extended warranty.  We also bought all the protective cases and covers available to protect her purchase (Mac's tend to...

I've had my macbook for over two years now.  It got me through two years of college = lots of hours of online research, lots of research papers, and of course the occasional webcam chat with my long-distance boyfriend.  I have over 10,000 songs stored in my iTunes collection and a comparable collection of pictures and videos saved on the hard drive; but it hasn't slowed the mac down at all like it would my old Dell (I had to buy an external hard drive for that laptop to function).

As for the qualities unique to macs, I love the "Spaces" capability - where you can have multiple screens for separate...

Years ago I was a Mac user and loved it and, in fact, have a Mac in my closet that I bought in '96 and used for about 25 hours but it didn't comply with our house network so it was packed away.

Last summer I wore out my 3rd Dell notebook with the same consistent problem created in the way I use them and dislodge the plug-in from the board.  My son decided enough was enough and gave me my current Macbook which is working very well to solve my problem because of the magnetic power cord attachment, although I wish it were on the right.  I confess that I have, however, that I have already purchased...

Mac computers are one of the best brand of computers that could ever be made.With all the new technology that has come about in the last few years,Mac computers, i find that they seem to function better than the best of them all.Mainly because there is less maintence to the hardware and they give you a since of confidence that the computer you are useing will not let you down when the heat of the moment needs you to be there.

  Mac, computers says it all,right from the very start(Mac).So, to put you up on one of the best brands, consider Mac when your out to get the best performance for your...

Powered by the Intel Core Duo, built from ultratough polycarbonate, just 1.08 inches thin - MacBook combines performance and portability like never before. Built upon the revolutionary Intel Core Duo - with two processor cores on a single chip - MacBook leaves other consumer notebooks in the dust. It performs up to five times faster than the previous generation iBook without compromising on size or style. At 1280 by 800, the 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display delivers 30% more viewing area than the iBook or 12-inch PowerBook - perfect for movies and more. And the ultra bright LCD makes photos...

My brother-in-laws have been avid Mac users and constantly talked with my high school daughter about getting one for her school work and outside projects.  Not knowing much about Apple products I equated it with the old VHS/Beta issue and felt that if she bought an Apple Macbook she would find herself with an outdated piece of equipment and all the money she had saved would be lost.  When she decided to get her own computer, she told her relatives not to get her birthday or Christmas gifts for about 2 years.  She asked if they could donate to her computer fund instead.  This was a lengthy process...

This is my first Mac experience as an owner.  I've owned a desktop "pc" for the last 15 years and feel like I spent most of my time either trying to figure out why it wouldn't do what I wanted it to do or trying to find the right person that could come and bail me out.  One year after spending $1000 to update our "pc" so I could continue with my work, my son made the comment  that I could go out and nearly buy a new Macbook for what we were spending in a matter of months on our old computer.  I kept researching the pros and cons of "pc" vs Mac and finally decided to give this Macbook a try....

After much trepidation, research and frustration, I finally purchased an Apple MacBook laptop computer.  The apple rep had ticked off all of the computers features to me.  I had compared costs and features with other comparable laptops.  In the end, Apple's military discount, printer rebate and the North Carolina No Tax Weekend convinced me me to purchase one.  The first time I used the MacBook it was like going into a different reality.  The operating system and all the programs were different.  Even the Microsoft Office Suite, which I purchased separately, worked differently.  Then, over...

I have had many IBM laptop computers in the past, but always had problems.  They would freeze on me, battery life would decrease very quickly, and 3 of them even crashed all together.  I finally got a MacBook and have been so very pleased!  No problems at all and so easy to use.  Wish I had made the switch sooner!

I love my Apple MacBook!! It is so user-friendly and I can easily do anything I need to do on it.

The only bad thing is that it's white, so it already looks kind of yucky- I obviously don't use it when my hands are dirty, but it looks dirty...
