I used to prefer PCs, but when I got my first Macbook in college, I really started to like Apple. I got this newer model after working with the older, plastic model for some time, and so far, so good! There are four main points when considering this machine, and I will list them below:
MAC OS
Since most of the market is dominated by Windows, the Mac OS can seem intimidating at first. I myself wasn't a big fan of Apple (although we had it around the house since my parents use Macs in their office) since PCs were more common, and I was therefore more familiar with them. A lot of software was previously designed for only PCs in mind, as were a lot of computer games that were designed for Windows. While that hasn't completely changed yet, it is changing. As Macs become more popular, you're starting to see more software made available to Macs. That being said, a lot of games are still only made for Windows, which can be a pain...
As for the OS's usability, I like it! I also like Windows, but only up until Vista! I'm not a huge fan of Vista, and Vista's taxing demands on my computer's resources are part of the reason I switched to Mac. The startup time for my Macbook is impressive, especially when compared to my Windows machines. It's fast, responsive, and I'd even say more intuitive in some respects, although this last point is debatable.
DESIGN
This sleek new design makes the Macbook appear more visually pleasing than the old plastic models. Does it justify the higher price? Well, it really depends on who's asking. I really do like the construction of the newer model, but if you're on a tight budget, any money saved is for the better. If money is an issue, use the money you save by buying the cheaper plastic model on an AppleCare protection plan. If money isn't an issue, I'd splurge for the cooler-looking model ;-)
PRICE
This is perhaps one of the most contentious issues in the debate of Mac vs. PC...yes, it IS more expensive than a comparably priced PC, but is it worth it? Some Apple fans point to Apple's reliability, bundled software, and sleek design to justify the higher cost. If you're on a tight budget, I DON'T recommend this, since I think you can find a similarly-equipped laptop for cheaper from a reputable PC vendor. But if you do have the money to choose between a Macbook and another laptop, I'd recommend the Macbook. The Mac OS interface is pretty intuitive, easy-to-use, and failing that, you can always switch to Windows! The fact you can run both Macintosh and Windows operating systems is far more convenient than I ever imagined!Get more detail about Apple MacBook MB466LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop.
