I'm a teacher &amp; have only owned inexpensive laptops. I've never bought an Apple. I'm tired of pop ups &amp; issues. What are the advantages of an Apple?

I bought my Mac on july last year , being my first Mac i was exited and i can say i dont regret buying it. Sure its more expensive than regular laptops but i believe this is the best computer ive owned. And today it runs as new. I bet there is no other Laptop that feels as solid and well maid .

I wouldn't get it , I bought mine back in 2013 at that time it was alright. I don't know about now I sold mine a few months later. I'm sure you can buy a laptop off of craigslist for 50. (One that keep up with nowadays ) I had to download a application to watch YouTube videos on the ibook

I just bought an HP dv6t and I have to say, I'm less than impressed for a number of reasons. So much bloatware, nothing works exactly the way I want it to...I'm also eyeballing the MacBook Pro, but I haven't made up my mind yet (I still have a window of time to return the HP). I've never owned a Mac before, but Mac owners swear by them. Windows 7 is a pain!

An iPad is a toy. COMPUTERS are for everyday computing needs. You can't even connect anything externally to an iPad. When I can connect a USB mouse, I'll buy one.

If you are asking if MacBooks are more internet friendly they are. they will run all of the current versions of flash, netflix,etc.ibooks are older notebooks that will not do several web standards very well, like flash etc.we sell ibooks for people who are familiar with there performance and aware of there limitation.

I bought it for a 5 and 7 year old. I only surf the net and check my email. Sorry, I couldn't be much help. You can call Apple.

I've owned my MAC for 24 hours after using Windows for 24 years. Not much of a learning curve, which I'm happy to report! Don't be scared like I was...just dive into it. It's so nice to know it will never be obsolete like XP is about to be. Bill Gates, you should realize that people get mad when you discontinue a great OS like XP. Now I'll use a MAC forever.

I highly recommend getting Apple Care and renewing it each year. I have had fantastic support with this. The techs are helpful and very friendly. Twice I have had some weird things go wrong mainly because of my internet provider and my lack of knowledge about computers. One time I was on the chat line with someone for close to three hours and they were very patient and determined to solve my problem and another time I was on the apple care chat line for over an hour with the same wonderful support and friendliness and knowledge. They don't let you go until they solve your problem. Definitely well worth the price of the Apple Care package!!! Do it! That's my suggestion!!!

I am so thru with Micro crap, Windows 8 was the last straw. I love my Mac, so much faster and no spyware issues. There are a few incompatibility issues but I can live with them. 120gb hard drive and 1gb ram should be good unless you have huge storage needs like lot's of videos and pictures. Takes some getting used to, read the manual when starting out.

Touchpad is very good. Power cord...well, its long and does the job. Its not designed like Apple or anything. But, you overlook that when you think about that a computer that is 3x more powerful than comparable Apple is 50% less at least. Power cord wasn't considered when I purchasing. :)

This unit has the newest I 7 processor that just came out this year. The lower priced unit does not. I was at the apple store before i came to this site. I am considering upgrading and have been paying close attention. From what I have seen that new processor is worth the money.

What do you need the mac for? Professional videography or photography? If you have the money to spare and get an awesome laptop then yes get it.If you just want to browse and check emails and need to save money then no, get a cheaper pc.I love my mac very much. no problems like the windows pc. My windows pc always has popups about how my program stopped responding/working.The mac is a much easier-to-use system.

I like the apple because over the years it has been my experience that the PC products just get slower and slower with age. We have an 5 year old Mac book pro that is as fast as it was when it was first purchased.

Well, that's another good reason why I switch to Apple. After being a loyal Windows fan for over 30 years, I switched to Apple last April and I haven't regretted the move yet. Good Luck with Windows 8

It's Apple more than likely not get a PC that's my advice. Apologize nothing against Apple they make great stuff but hardware compatibility has never been their strong suit!!

Buy the MBA, you will not regret it. I see no advantage of having a touch screen interface on your laptop. MBA is lightning fast and a real joy to use.
