It's a bargain. tongue.gif

Anyway, yeah go for any Intel-based Mac so you could enjoy the best of both world without much hassle. Office for Mac is just as nice, if not better, than its PC brother. Then there's the cheaper alternative AppleWorks, or the free OpenOffice. You won't have a problem doing your assignments.

i just started (well,not really) using mac as my base since september 22nd 2005

my iMac G5 is upgraded with 1 gb ram with this 17" model

i have to say,its easy to use,elegant and sexy,fast and expensive sweat.gif

i suggest u go for Intel based macs for the full experience,ive been using windows for a long time,but my brother has been using mac since the first iMac came out,he's now using 1 iMac G4 17",one iMac Intel Core duo,and an Intel windows rig,my 20 yr old sister is using a 1.83GHz Macbook pro for her college work at australia,my elder sister is using a 2.16 GHz macbook Pro with microsoft word excel and etc. for her graphic works and kerja kerja file,

also if u are thinking of drawing or doing graphic designing,like my sister i suggest u get a Wacom tablet,even a graphire is enough.my whole family is using mac,we do not complain

apple,an unbelievable piece of machinery,once u go mac,u never-ever go back

terima kasih kepada sesiapa yg sedang membaca ucapan saya,assalamualaikum,salam mesra smile.gif

One quick question, does the built-in iSight on the MacBook Pro work in Windows?

The only reason people say windows aint reliable because they are NOOBS who dont know how to properly use an OS. They think to turn on all services, all gui options, everysingle functions on thier machine on and expect it to perform like a champion.
If an apple machine can do atleast half of what a windows machine can do, i would switch to it..but sadly..it would never be that good in terms of total functionality

Unfortunately most people ain't as tech-savvy as you and they have better things to do than to spend hours tweaking Windows XP to make it run properly. Most people only use their computers for internet/music/movies/photos/IM/emails and stuff like that, and there are a lot of apps on the Mac that do that sort of stuff just as good, if not better than, Windows. And you gotta understand that having tons of softwares on Windows doesn't mean they're quality softwares, unless of course you have a lot of time to try out different apps to find one that suits you best. Mac on the other hand saves you time and provides you with an array of quality multimedia softwares right out of the box. That's what I love about OSX and its iApps.

Having said that, I still wouldn't give up Windows for Mac, simply because Windows is a lot more snappier and its interface is just more business-esque to me. I find myself a lot more productive working under a Windows environment (that is, after spending some time to tweak the darn thing).

So yeah, Windows for business, Mac for pleasure. smile.gif
