Nobody ever said if they thought this was a good machine for the price. Let us know if you have any other questions. There will be some adjustments associated with the new interface but I believe you'll be pretty happy overall. It has bibliographic support via Endnote and Bookends.Įnjoy the machine. I'm pretty happy with it these days for my word processing. If using Office isn't essential for you personally, look into Pages. I know you have reasons for considering Office on the Mac and its pretty decent software, all things considered. Once you settle in, head over to and check out some of their software. You can save some space doing this as well by choosing not to install unnecessary printer drivers and language support, if you want.

I suggest you run the installer once when you get the machine, just to experience how painless a Mac OS X install is. Where's a smiley for "starts giggling, kind of breaks into laughter, falls apart with laughter, then gets it under control with giggles"? Yeah, it comes with an installation disc. Will this thing come with a full install/recovery disc so I can install MacOS on the new drive? Is this hard to do? Driver problems and so forth? Thanks all! I'll keep you posted on my fling with the dark side. Should I spring for AppleCare? Anyone know if/when Chrome is ever gonna come out for Macs? And last, did I hit a decent sweet spot for price/performance? If Parallels would work better for that sort of thing, well, I'm open to suggestion. I want to be able to do some gaming on this rig and I assume a native install of Windows on this would be the best way to do that. Is Boot Camp free? Is it hard to set up a dual-boot? I'm a PC gamer but I've never had a laptop with a discrete video card before. Worth it? Or can I get by with Open Office? Next up, should I purchase a larger and faster hard drive (5 rpm drive) and install it myself? Is there a serious battery life or thermal hit by swapping up that drive? Will this thing come with a full install/recovery disc so I can install MacOS on the new drive? Is this hard to do? Driver problems and so forth?

First, I can get MS Office for Mac for about $55 as a student (I go to law school). I have some questions, as this will be my first Mac. It's a MacBook Pro.ġ5.4" LED-backlit matte display at 1440x900 I was close to pulling the trigger when I saw this:įA896LL/A (which, so far as I can tell, is the same thing as a MA896LL/A, only it's a refurb) for $1299. I was keeping an eye on the Apple Store's refurbs, with a plan to perhaps purchase the refurb 2.0 ghz unibody MacBook for $1099. Hey all! I did what I swore for a decade I'd never do.
