Well, after the impressive 'integration' with the iPod software and iTunes, I am now using Safari, their net browser... Working good so far!

hmmm......

Safari works pretty good. The Apple software updater works pretty well too.

At the Law firm I work for about half of us have Apple notebooks as our personal laptop.
 
Stiz,

Its comes with a free built in Windows XP edition OS as an alternative for running IBM based games and software on.

:d

Me too P. They just released their new line of MacBooks.. The screens are made just like the iPods with that tight grommit all the way around. Glass is right to the knifes edge.
 
The laptop I brought a few months back was one of my better investments, has not missed a lick and has nice features...Mke

so you buy a mac cos your not happy with windows, yet you still end up useing windows anyway? :costumes: :173go1::ernae:
 
lolol... is that your point? It has XP! I have vista. A shame that I have to go to apple to get XP, lol.. and its proven on the max speeds on the equipment (hardware) to run at the best speeds.

If thats what it takes.... Thats all I can say.


I also like how the side software works, the refinements and all with Apple. Very impressive.

:wavey:
 
That macbook air sure is enticing. I used to not like it, considering how limited the scope of usage for it is, but really the only thing I'll ever use a laptop for is internet and maybe word processing. I just wish the thing wasn't so darn expensive (pretty much all Apple product are though...). The Dell Inspiron mini 9 is what I've got me eye on now...
 
When I got my mac, I would try to price any other laptop with the same features and the price was actually pretty close. They threw in a printer (which I needed), and an iPod (which I'm glad I got) so I'm pretty sure it was the same price or cheaper in that case.

I got a copy of XP through the school for $29 I think. They were selling it cheap in any case.

I find myself in OSX and XP about 50/50.

Do you still need graphics cards? Or are they just built in?

They are using high end industry GC's now, such as nVidia. They recently did a joint venture with nVidia to create a new experimental chip that has an integrated GC system. Supposedly its much faster as the GC link with the ECU (or what ever the main chip(s) are called), is emmediate and not going through Mobo routings.

But I dont know if thats out. I think you also have the option of adding your own GC.


Mind you guys, I dont have an Apple yet. I only have an iPod Touch and I am really impressed with it.

There are some informative tutorials and all (movies of sorts) on Apples at the apple.com website. (Thats what I have been watching).

If anyone likes manuals for the OS's, I recommend Windows XP in a Nutshell and MAC OS X Leopard Edition: The Missing Manual.
 
Something you will notice on the Apple computer with either a lap or a tower is the graphics are nuthin but sweet.Also when using Leopard OS when enlarging the rcreading screen the is no distortion what so ever. When the Aple goes into sleep mode it is very fast and you don't need any security software with this OS.
