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.

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.

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+

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.
