MacBook

3 reasons, good ones as to why it would be worth it to get my daughter one as opposed to windows notebook.

thx

 

1) Much better included applications for media creation and management. The iLife suite smokes anything else on the market and comes free with every Mac.

2) Fantastic build quality. Not exclusively better than PC's, but many times better than a $500 laptop. Granted I've got a macbook pro, but I've never had a second's trouble with hardware or software in nearly 2 years. I know people with similar success with standard macbooks.

3) the "Mac-iness" of it. There's something to be said for just the way macs work. It's hard to quantify, but things just seem to mesh better on macs in my experience. Add to that the support from the Apple store.

I'm not going to say Macs are better in every circumstance or beat every PC. But after using them for a little over 2 years, and using a PC for 2 decades before that, I can say Mac is much better for me.

 

how old is she? does she know which one she wants?

through apple.com, there's an educational discount you get for students, buy a mac for college, you get a free ipod touch...

they knock a hundred bucks off.

 

1. It's really hard to fuck up a MacBook.

2. They are less suspect to virus and malware since most are written for Windows.

3. It's simple to use.
