 MacBook Woes July 26, 2008
7 out of 30 found this review helpful
I purchased my MacBook almost three months ago based on the reviews. My mistake. I admit that I did expect to find the change from Windows to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.4) a challenge. What I did NOT expect was that the support personnel at Apple would be so poorly trained that their help was almost useless. The standard solution after 2-3 hours on the phone was to reinstall the operating system. Big mistake. I downloaded Adobe, and it would not work properly on this laptop. I could no longer open simple pdf files. So, I called Apple support. Two hours later I was told to archive and reinstall the operating system. After doing that I still couldn't view pdf files, but finally used spotlight to find that there was still a small adobe file that needed to be deleted. That whole problem should have been a 5 minute phone call. Unfortunately now the printer would not work. Two more hours on the phone, and the "support tech" told me to remove the printer and then add it back. Bingo, the printer now worked. But again, more wasted hours. The next day I tried to access the Itunes store. Nope, couldn't do that either anymore. Three more hours on the phone, and I was told that it isn't possible to access the Itunes store from a managed account. Interesting that I have been doing just that for the past three months. Bottom line, don't expect decent support from Apple. If you buy a Macbook, you are really on your own. If you are familiar with Apple computers or have superior technical skills, you should do OK. But if you are coming over from Windows, you will only find frustration and misery. I will attempt to force Apple to take this thing back, and give me a refund. If that fails, I will try to find someone who still thinks that Apple is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and sell this MacBook to them!!!
 Back to Mac...this time for good! July 17, 2008

I had owned Macs in the past, but always thought they were too slow compared to PCs. Apple has long been at the cutting edge of industrial design, but I found the cost of their computers to be too high relative to the performance. I can happily say that I no longer feel that way. After spending time in my neighborhood Apple Store, I finally felt comfortable enough to buy another Mac and I am beyond pleased!
First of all, the latest version of OS X is a fantastic operating system. Everything just works. I have had no crashes or other inconveniences in the month I have owned this laptop. I turned it on and it found my network instantly. All three printers were recognized and drivers were installed without having to fumble around with CDs or going to the printer manufacturer's websites.
I added an additional 2GB RAM because I wanted to run multiple operating systems. After installing the RAM and VMWare Fusion, Windows XP runs virtually alongside OS X with no noticeable impact in performance for either OS. I haven't had much reason to use Windows lately, but it's nice to have it ready without needing to reboot. (Of course, if you're a gamer, a PC is still probably the best platform for you)
Apple is now king in this household and we are in the process of making the switch permanently to Macs for everything. The initial cash outlay is still higher than a comparable PC, but you get what you pay for. Luckily, Amazon offered a small discount plus rebate on this when I ordered. After saving 7% in sales tax vs. buying locally and free shipping with Amazon Prime, it was downright cheap. All I know is I'm ecstatic and I'm not looking back!
Love my Mac July 15, 2008

Cannot say enough about this Mac. Recommend to anyone. Have been a PC user for most of my life (started on Apples in school). Mac rules. Have to use PC based computers at work, can't wait to use my Mac when not at work (sometimes at work, it is a laptop and I have a wireless connection-Sprint wireless). PS- Love the Sprint wireless, internet at pretty good speeds, virtually anywhere I go.

Most people use PC nowadays, but I was raised using Mac's. I love the product, Appple has done a very good job at marketing and building there products.
Apple Is Doing It Right July 10, 2008

We bought this MacBook to replace a Gateway tablet PC that was plagued with the usual PC problems and never lived up to the hype over Microsoft's Windows Tablet PC Edition. It was just another bloated Windows version. While Microsoft has been developing more bloat-ware (Vista), Apple has been busy building outstanding hardware and an operating system (Leopard) that is as close to rock-solid as you can get. And now that it's possible to run Windows programs on the Mac (for the few programs you might want to use that aren't available in a Mac version), there's no reason not to dump the PC and switch to a Mac. (Windows programs run faster on a Mac than on their native platform, anyway.) We're happy we switched; this little laptop is gorgeous, fast, and the battery life is better than any PC laptop we've owned. Get one--you won't be sorry.
