Sorry to hi-jack this thread since we are all enquiring the same thing.
I'm needing a notebook....for work. I need to surf a lot, do quite a fair bit of graphics altering and at the same time, do powerpoint, word and excel spreadsheet stuffs. I'm incline on trying a macbook (13" is big enuff for me, I have weak hands) but I dunno whether will the biz applications as easy to use as microsoft office and firefox.
Thks!
oh...ok. Then the graphics parts should be ok also? The other things that worries me is the HDD and RAM. I understand it cannot be upgraded easily and must be factory installed rite?
Mac but don't get the macbook if u can. Get the cheaper Macbook Pro.. much better quality LCD. Macbook pretty cheapie, i've got two black macbooks motherboard got busted and will cost **** to replace them...
Photoshop is a pleasure to use on the mac than windows (super easy drag and drop from anywhere)
I heard we can just use ipod or network sharing to convert their format? Does all sorts of files able to be converted like pdf, wav, mpeg, avi, docx, xls etc?
Also I have a USB external hard disks storage tower (inside got more than 1 HDD) that I will still be using for my windows files. If I eventually going to have a external storage tower for my mac, can they be used or I need to get mac HDD in order to do that?
1 last issue...if I want to share files with my windows colleagues, will it still be as simple as copy them into a flashdrive then pass to them or I need to export them for use as windows?
I think he meant to get a cheap MacBook Pro (rather than a more expensive/higher end MacBook Pro) instead of a MacBook, not that MacBook Pro is cheaper than MacBook...How can the MacBook Pro be cheaper than the MacBook?
oh...so u mean if my external HDD I format into FAT32, then both my windows PC and macbook can retrieve, save and write on a common platform?
Wha...so advance liao? I still thought I have to get 2 systems of everything! Then wireless leh? Can my linksys wireless router be use for the mac also?
Sorry for the long questions...but it definitely helps to clear my doubts into going for a mac.
