The Macbook is definitely expensive in comparison to other laptops. However, it is worth the money! The battery lasts at least 5 hours. I love that it does not download anything without your permission. It is a product ( as well as a brand) that will continue to sell, due to its durability and performance.

I have the MacBook Pro and I really enjoy it! I got it almost 2 years ago now and haven't had any issues yet! It seems to hold its battery power well and once i got the hang of it the computer was very easy to navigate!

At first, I was reluctant to buy my macbook, since it is at a higher price point than most PC laptops and I would have to get accustomed to using Apple software. I am really happy that I did purchase it instead of sticking to a PC. I've had my Macbook for over 2 years, and NEVER had a problem with it. It was particularly simple to get used to the software as well, which I was most concerned about. There are so many features to MAC and benefits over using a PC, that it would take forever to name. The best advice I can give; if you are a creative person, and use your laptop creatively, for design or whatever it may be; you should not even be considering a PC. Besides the creative capabilities of the MAC, I have never had any sort of viruses--as opposed to my experiences with PC's. Anyways, I can definitely say that I converted to Mac for life.

We purchased a MacBook about three months ago, and we'll never go back to a PC again. Most of its basic functions are just like any other computer, but i've never owned a computer that's as user-friendly as the MacBook. Everything is just so intuitive, and I love that you can customize the trackpad so that different types of swipes perform different functions!
For anyone considering buying the Mac versions of Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.) for general personal use, save the money and just get the Mac suite of Pages, Numbers and Keynote (Mac versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint). These programs are just as good, and the "Save Copy as Word (or Excel, etc.) Document) means that you can send the documents off to a PC user with no issues whatsoever.
When we first bought our Mac, I intended to continue to use our old PC for editing photos, since I'd invested in Adobe Lightroom a few years ago. What's happened, though, is that I've realized just how great iPhoto is for basic processing (white balance, exposure, colour saturation, basic retouching) -- I now only boot up the old PC when I'm going to do some heavy-duty processing and need the additional creativity that Lightroom allows. iPhoto (pre-built into Macs) is a fantastic program, and would be more than enough for most casual photo editors.

Worth it!

We have had our Mac Laptop for 2 years now. Before this, we had a PC - and always had trouble with it. Things would break down...it was terribly slow...Messy organization...and so on and so on...

Our Mac is so much easier and faster to work with, has far more options, and is simply - more fun :)

We would not go back to a PC - they are simply not worth the money (Cheaper is not always better!).

The only draw back for me was getting used to the different set up - but once I was used to it, it seemed to make so much more sense than the PC's setup.

I have been using this machine for three years with no problems. It is fast. The boot time is so fast that the PC in my household boot my computer rather than use theirs. Fully equiped with a superdrive which reads and writes CDs and DVDs, it comes pre-loaded with multimedia software which allows you to compose and play original music create, edit and watch your own DVDs. The wordprocessing software, Pages, gives such a wide range of professional options for document presentation that i still have not finished discovering all the possibilities.

This is a stable computer which is virtually problem free, it does not freeze or crash unless using Beta version software, even while running many programmes simultaneously.
