I just got my MacBook 2 weeks ago and I love it!!! This is my first mac and I will never go back to pc. As for your microsoft works documents ... As long as you get the same program for your mac ... I think you can still use it. I bought vmware fusion which allows me to run windows xp. I need Internet explorer for online classes. Pm me if you want more info. And yes I am pretty sure you can use the printer
