| Mac Book? So....my regular laptop is on the fritz....right now I can only use my iPad. I'm thinking about getting a Mac Book at some point. Does anyone have one? I would love to hear all opinions on it....why you like it, or don't like it....is it better than a PC and why, etc. Thanks!

| I have one. Love it. It is one of the cheaper ones (not the Pro) with white casing which does crack and break easily. Just make sure to get a warranty or get a Pro. Mine takes a constant beating and has worked well for me. Don't really like PCs at all since using Macs. The Office programs made for Mac aren't the best though. I think a new one just came out that I'm supposed to be trying. You can also put run two operating systems if you want, so you could have Windows also.

| I got the Macbook Pro in January 2010 and I LOVE it. No regrets about getting it and will NEVER go back to a PC. I love this computer. <333 Never caused me any issues whatsoever. I'm an Apple geek now.

| I have had the same Macbook for over 5 years now and it is still going strong. I owned PCs before this computer and none of them laster for more than a year. I would say there are no drawbacks to buying a Mac. Some people complain about the pricing, but when you buy a new PC every year... you are actually saving a LOT of money by buying Mac. Good luck! If you have any questions, let me know (my DH is Apple certified along with all the other certs), so I have a built in Apple genius at home

| I have a Mac pro and like it a lot. I have always had a pc and it took some getting used to. I also have an iPad and they work great together. |

| I have had a MacBook for the past 4 years and one before that. I Love them. Be sure you get Apple Care when you purchase your MacBook. You will never look back. I can't tell you how many people I have encouraged to switch over. (I'm an ex Apple employee)! Happy Anniversary1

| I'm a long time Mac lover and have a MacBook Pro. The other MacBooks are great too, but smaller screen. New Macs and possibly a new operating system may be announced in June at the WWDC, so you might want to wait til then so you'll get the latest and greatest available. Mac's rock, and if you have an iPad, you already know a bit about that.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I bought a mac book 2 years ago and LOVE it. My daughter and I use to share it so it got a lot of use. We were going through PC's every year. When she moved out last October, we bought her one because we knew she would forget to update her virus protection and a PC wouldn't last.

| Yes, you can definitely post pictures, change avatars, etc. from a Mac. It's much easier for me than doing it with a PC.
