    I have the older black model. Reliable as anything I've ever owned even though you can't play squat on it. Only 3 Macbooks were ever in need of repair at the UCLA Store when I was working and those were only because the owners were absolute tech-morons. I'm sure you won't follow suit. :up:

    Good choice brother. I have had many PCs -- all eventually died, even when running Linux. I have also owned several Macs -- all of them still run as advertised.

    More expensive? Yes but worth it, considering that you don't need to replace your computer every 2 years.

    :knucks: Running Linux doesn't change your bus speed or optimize the IBM (PC) design flaws.

    While I agree that Linux is better that Windows, it is not better than the Unix GUI that OS X provides.

    But you don't have to replace it every two years -- So, not that more expensive.

    bro i could have gotten a nice dell for 700 bucks....i got this macbook for 999 (with my employee discount) i saved 59 dollars....if your going to chunk out 800 bucks on a laptop....made by dell....software by windows...why not get a mac with all the software? amazing sleekness and awesome quality...for a few hundred more?

    i dunno...it was a easy choice for my wife and i....i used it in broadcasting school....and i pointed out to my wife every movie released now-a-days the people are using macs haha.....she says "they must be good then"

    hook line and sinker :lol:

    Macs suck, IMO.

    The only reason why they have such a low crash rate is because people won't make viruses for them because so few people have them.

    They're a compatibility hassle too..

    I know.

    I'm SOOOO ****ing sick of the drama of PCs.

    Every week it's something; today I can't use any of my media players to play movies - they all crash when I start them.

    Last week (and for the last 8 months) it was MS's Data Execution Prevention - a nasty little bit of protectionist programming by the hacks at MS, which continually shuts down programs that use "too much memory"... :rolleyes: Talk about irony.

    And guess which app it shut down every few minutes? Firefox.

    But not Internet Explorer. No.

    A year ago it was that Windows wouldn't let me install iTunes; I had to go get an app - a Microsoft app - that wiped the remnants of previous installations so the new installs could proceed.

    Number one: ****ING INCLUDE IT IN WINDOWS, if that's what it takes to make it work right.

    Second: note what app it kept ****ing with.

    Yeah.

    Mac for me next time and hopefully forever beyond that.

    Just gotta face the real truth.

    I hate using any form of post-production on Macs. Whether that's Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, Sony Vegas... whatever... Some people are obsessed with Macs here, I just don't really like them.

    Where I work, people bring in Macs because something is wrong or they have some compatibility issue. The only reason why you hear "no one ever brings in a problem with a Mac" is because hardly anyone owns one.

    That being said if I can save up enough over summer I plan on buying a Sony Viao or Macbook. I think I'll end up with the Sony because I have never had a problem with anything from Sony... also a lot of the lectures and things we have to do for class at UCF cause Mac users problems.

    and no one is buying stuff... it is a buyers market right now. Companies are trying to sell stuff at just enough cost to cover their fixed costs so they can remain in business.
