Macbook?

[LadyOfMystery]

So the people in singles have pretty much sold me but I want YOUR opinions now.

Do you have a MacBook? Do you like it? Not like it? Pros & Cons?

If you dont have a MacBook would you get one? Why/why not?

Poll as well!

First...I need to know what sort of things you do the majority of the time on your computer.

I have two MacBooks; I love them both. The only real problems I have had with my MacBooks are 1) there's no mouse (all laptops, right? ) and 2) the cord for my MacBooks has had to be replaced twice. I think they fixed the issue now, but there was some problem with a slow melting right near where it connects into the laptop. Also, the Macs get VERY hot, so a cooling pad is pretty much necessary.

I would buy another Mac product, and probably will, but next time I think I will actually get the desktop model. I had forgotten how handy a mouse is when doing graphic work and the like.

I wouldn't get one because I'm cheap and they seem expensive. But if you're not cheap, they seem popular and that says something, I guess.

You can buy a regular USB wireless mouse for almost nothing (I found this one on Amazon for ~$10, and it's styled like a Mac mouse). Apple doesn't lock you down to using only their mice with any of the Mac models (I just used the Kensington mouse my mom got for her Vista laptop with their iMac this morning, I've even connected my wired Microsoft mouse to the iMac before, and it didn't have a problem with it).

Thanks; I know you can buy a mouse, but I consider it a small con that it doesn't come with one. I think it should be included in the bundle, but...it's all personal preference.

MacBook Air is great

From all I've heard they're a great product, but I don't have one, and I doubt I would get one due to how high priced they are. If anything I would get a regular laptop instead, but that's just me. I'm still using a desktop for everything at this point, you can get a more powerful machine for a lot cheaper that way.
