Got one of the new macbooks last week, wow! I am impressed. Its not a macbook pro, just the regular Stainless macbook. Better by far than any mac or pc I have ever owned. Check one out!

bodybump · 20 December 2008, 05:12 PM

I heard its the best mac book ever....better than the air!! Congrats on your new purchase!!

Goodwatch · 20 December 2008, 05:12 PM

I will wait what 9 January will brings us as rumours about a pending Apple 'NetBook' are mounting. The new MacBooks are indeed fine pieces of machinery and with BootCamp very versatile

I like it but I don't like the prices....it's funny because I am typing on one as we speak...

It's actually machined aluminum, not stainless steel. And yes, they are very nice.

Why run both operating systems? Won't windows virus issues plague the mac? I have office 2004 for my word dogs and powerpoint the new macs are awesome though.

No, Windows runs in a separate partition, completely isolated from OSX. For me, it would be convenient as I still use some Windows programs for which there is no Mac equivalent. Moreover, Window code doesn't run natively on the Unix that OSX is.

I've got one,first mac I've owned and I have to say I love it!

Nica64 · 21 December 2008, 06:43 AM

Macs are the best, I'm thinking about getting one next week not the pro just the regular 13 inch MacBook.

once you are hooked to mac, hard to switch back to PC

Love my 04 iBook 14inch :o) OSX.5.5

Typing from a new MacBook Pro and agree that they are great laptops.

I love my mac. I have a mac book and a desktop running xp and I really do love my mac book. I think you made a wise choice because Vista really sucks.

mikey · 21 December 2008, 04:50 PM

Vista sucks thats for sure.

I really hate spending anytime with Windows and am a long time Mac user, but I watched an interesting podcast (Cranky Geeks) the other night and they were commenting that the 64-bit Vista was actually quite good and that the Vista bashing was old news.
Again, I couldn't care less how Vista really works, but possibly they have made recent improvements.

Dont believe the hype. Thats what microsoft wants you to think and they are spending millions of dollars to get that result. Their new OS will be just like XP so I am done with them.

There are two good thing about Vista.

1. It makes XP seem like a good operating system.

2. It makes me even happier to own a mac!

Huh?

I'm using my iPhone to type this! Love my macbook though

oneillba · 23 December 2008, 07:20 AM

I have had an iMac since 2006 and I love it. It has been a joy to use and operate compared to my last three Dell laptops with various operating systems.

alexcord · 1 January 2009, 03:26 AM

I got my first Mac a month ago (Macbook Pro 15"), I was always a bit anti-mac and thought it was all hype but I have to say I was wrong.... they are FANTASTIC! If anybody is sitting on the fence about whether to convert to Mac, just do it! It is worth the initial pain!
