no, apple is great

i dont think so, my friend has a mac book pro and loves it
3 :
Some sites don't work with Apple, but the majority of sites do. I have an Apple and I love it. Certain sites reqire features that don't clash with Apple, and I'm not sure why, but MANY is an exaggeration.

do it steve jobs is my hero

Well, realize that practically all websites are designed with Microsoft Internet Explorer in mind, so unless you install that browser on your Mac, then some sites may give you trouble. However, you can also install Firefox (another popular browser) instead. It works just as well on most sites. Whatever you heard about Macs not able to access that many sites was probably exaggerated or not explained clearly. I only know of older Macs having some problems, but nothing you would buy today. Also, don't cross out getting a PC laptop just yet. Prices will be cheaper and you can do all the things in Windows that you have on your list...

I got my MacBook in December for Christmas. 90% of the sites I visit have released programs or compatibility with Macs. They are gaining in popularity. All of the things you mentioned will work, including Microsoft Office. Also, you can download Firefox or Camino to browse the web. If a site doesn't work w/ Firefox, then the developers have a serious problem. I highly recommend them. So to answer your question, no it isn't true, most sites will work with Macs.

If you don't mind getting an overpriced laptop, I guess it's good for what you want to do. Otherwise, get any other laptop, you can get a superior laptop for the same price. If I were you, ask people that you know about their experiences with apples and pc, because asking here you'll get your typical fanboys and be like: "APPLE IS TEH BEST," or "APPLE SUCKS." Heck, you can just see that above and below my comment ;) About the last question, nah, you can surf the internet like any other pc user. The only thing that you should worry is about other programs that are not apple compatible ;D

not true. I have had a PC for most of my life. I got a mac laptop not too long ago(I'm typing on it right now) and i have been able to go everywhere. The only thing is that you might have to download some video software for certain videos( news, etc.). This computer is the best one I have ever had and i have never regretted getting it.
9 :
it is not true at all. my macbook is great with everything u named. so is my sisters powerbook and my moms ibook and my other sisters macbook. my whole family would reccomend apple/mac computers
10 :
macs are for kids or noobs. Get a pc laptop. Mac users make up only 8% of computer users. Macs have limited software. I dont see how anyone can get a mac unless using for film or something. Waste of $1,500+
11 :
NO NO NO NO NO! My brother is an AMAZINGLY TALENTED computer guy and that is NOT the way to go. The only thing apples are good for is journalism and magazine editors. Try HP, Toshiba, and Sony. Best laptop brands. BIG BIG NO TO APPLE! Im doing this for your own good danielle lol.

MacBooks are great. Also, you need to take into consideration what you'll be needing the laptop for. For example, the MacBook isn't a great gaming laptop.
2 :
if you get it at the apple store see if you can get a student discount. ask them to see if your school is on the list i saved 100 bucks on mine
3 :
Save your money and go for a Laptop with Windows on. They're about half the price (here in England anyway). I bought an Acer 5050, and I've had Mac OSX running on it :). Look into OSX86.
4 :
go to craigslist. I'd reccomend the MacBook G4 at the absolute earliest. Your best bet is to buy a used one for $600 and put $150 into it. I bought mine on craigslist, i'm from buffalo so i went to buffalo.craigslist.com, you might need to go to ontario.craigslist.com or wherever you live
5 :
1) tell your friends and family that your looking for a job and they could help you 2)sell your old stuff you don't need anymore,books,shoes,ect 3)buy something and sell it for a higher price =)
6 :
Well. you made a good pick on which macbook.. stay away from the older macs. i was a mac tech up until the end of last year.. and i know first hand that Lepord will run like total crap on a G4 also like others said macs are not good for gaming.. there are very few games out for MacOS and even then the macbooks wont play most of them.. you'd need the Macbook Pro.. but why pay another grand for it when you only have about 5 games worth choosing from Hope it helps -The UnixGod
7 :
If you want to save money you can buy a used one.... apple sells what is called "refurbished" models. They are used laptops that have been through apple quality control again. I have an older model Macbook- White 2 ghz, 1 gig of ram, 80 hd. You don't have to buy a remote.... it comes with the laptop so don't waste your money! I love my macbook, I never have any problems with it.... its only crashed twice and I've had it for a year. Apple constantly comes up with updates for its software and has great support services online and by phone. The laptop is nice and compact, very easy to fit into a small bag- and is very light. I would recommend it.
8 :
good luck with that! im an apple user! youre 16? how much do u know about macs? are you into games and stuffs? do u know that 90% of all games and applications are not mac-compatible? but dont fret it comes with a bootcamp assistant which allows you to run windows (you will provide for it) and the remote is free which is worthless in any ways. its also best to upgrade the ram to 4GB and if u have a friend whom works at a school, let him/her buy it... apple will give u a $100 off the price please rate

Apple Laptop!
Apple laptop?
I currently have a HP desktop and wanted to buy a laptop. I was wondering if changing to an Apple would be a good idea. I need to be able to use Word though, and I am not sure if they are compatable. What are the major differences between Apples and Macs - things I would notice rather than technical specs.

Well basically the shortcuts on a mac are different than a pc, i too made a transition from a hp to a mac and i love it. You can always buy the word program for mac for some extra cash... its really worth im very happy with my decision.
2 :
yeah word works fine on macs, there really no big difference. except macs cant use many of the pc softwares, but most big ones are ok for macs like all the adobe, word, programs anyhow i think macs are better b/c they make everything from the hardware to the software to the case itself so i think its better equipped so they all work better and also it looks nicer too :D
3 :
get a normal laptop... and have Linux installed on it... Mac's are over rated, over priced, And over all ownership is more expensive you have to buy all the software to run on it and it is not cheap. Most computer manufactures now support Linux... Dell, HP, Compaq, IBM, Acer, Toshiba will all run Linux but they don't advertise the fact that they do... cause store get more for promoting and selling Windows Vista.. check out the web links below. and see for yourself click on the you tube link first and watch the video clips and you get a office package that is better than MS office 2007 with all the same features,,,, Open Office 2 which is free check out the web links below

good idea, getting a mac. you really should. there is Microsoft Word for Mac (the latest is 2008 version). if you really need to, you can install windows using the built-in bootcamp feature and use Word on windows OS. There is no difference between Apples and Macs. one might say that macs are a branch of Apple. Apple is the company that makes Macs, among other things such as ipods and iPhones.
