is this mac comparable

I don't have a MAC but the only thing you use a computer for on this model is for updating software, so I don't know why not.

Not familiar with Mac availability. Only know that it's worth about $9.95 at the most.

I haven't had any problems at all. Are you doing your Mac upgrades as soon as requested? I just wish the Mac version was as large and as easy to use as the PC version

Does everything work on a Mac? Scanning and faxing? Sounds like a great machine but a lot of folks seem to have concerns about Macs

bought mine Saturday, came with old leopard (but i bought snow leopard) best macbook pro ever. snow leopard really makes it come alive (with speed) my adobe and pro apps load up with the greatest of ease (it's scary how fast they run now), heck, even firefox doesn't slow down the system anymore! (though it does take it's time) and now you can add more than 10 items to you dock (when dragging a folder down), soo awesome!

absolutely mac. Mac means high quality and reliability, and is much better than any other laptops in the world

It is. And you can change the alt and control keys to match what you would normally use them for on a mac. This keyboard also comes with a disc that has the drivers for mac or windows.

I have a PC and a MAC once I got used to the differences which didn't take much time at all, I never went back to my PC again. For music and pictures the MAC is an excellent choice

Thanks for the input Greg. One of my other main reservations was having to learn a new operating system - since I have never used or owned a mac before. I've been to the Apple Store a few times to play around with the imac and it does not seem to be too bad. I am somewhat tech savy and can fix or diagnose things on my pc. I am leaning toward the imac and will likely end up pulling the trigger. I plan on getting extra memory and installing it myself.

My guess is it's lighter, has more RAM, better graphics. Because no matter what system you get, if you clear it and have Apple install the latest OS it's all the same. Good luck to you.

Yes it is. You can always check owc.com for what ram is compatible for your mac

Of course it is. Simply reformat it with Disk Utility after installation. Just make sure your Mac can use a 2.5" drive.

I did just that a couple weeks ago. I'm still getting adjusted but I really like the Mac. I liked Vista a lot but I was sick of it locking up on me. I've had IBM, Lenovo, HP, Dell and Compac, desktops and notebooks. It's still too soon to tell but this really seems to be quality. No regrets so far.

Not if you really want to enjoy all the features. Runs great on 27 in iMac 2013 with all graphics turned up. In case you're thinking of upgrading.

I'm not very knowledgeable on Mac products. All I know it's the Mac laptop that has the i5 processor. It's the most recent one you can buy that is not the air.

Hey John, this machine has a 3rd generation 17-3517U @ 1.90 GHz to 2.40 GHz. I can say it is quite fast but I am not using it for CAD drawings or I am not into too much graphic detailed business. It is all for emails and web browsing and regular office work.. The machine is little heavy ( close to 3 pounds I guess), but I had mac pro earlier, and it is similar weight.. Overall for two months, I am quite satisfied with the machine.. I wish Windows 8 had a Start Menu on the screen too..

In response to your post. The processor difference in terms of ghz won't be major, the ram should compensate for that although it serves a different purpose. Check what cache and front bus speed is for the HP, the apple's is 600+ mhz and 4 mb cache. So check those up. It really depends on ur use. If u require a larger screen then go for the hp. If u want more portability and a better os (my opinion at least), go for the mac. Just remember that if u go for the hp, u can't load mac os on it, whereas with the mac u can load both vista and tiger. Also, I would say the build quality on the apple is much better than Hp's i've seen (the plastic is much higher quality). Be sure check the model out IN PERSON to see the build quality. Check if ur down with that new shiny fimsy plastic Hp's been using.
