If you have never used a Mac then OSX (operating system on them) will take a week or so to get used to but isnt hard and is much better than Windows IMO. And as mentioned you can get Mac versions of Microsoft software (and most others) and failing that you can either run windows or use a programme called Virtual PC that will let you load and run windows programmes. | |

Student discount is 14% depending on what you buy, they'll give you that in the Apple Store, too. | |

My Brother and his Girlfriend both have Macbooks. Look very nice, like ipods do etc! The general opinion is they are better machines ie operating system etc. I have a Dell though, was put off a Mac purely because a pc is more convieniant for me, ease of downloading software plus my friends have Windows based pc's so I thought it would be easier for when we need to transfer software etc. | |

Are they noticably faster than normal laptops, as i've heard their good for graphics work, so i assumed they would have to be fairly nippy to cope with the software etc. ?? | |
