I only wish to know a cons. I’ve listened heaps of reviews upon a MacBook Pro as well as they all receptive to advice intensely good. However, my crony says which Macs have been over-priced as well as isn’t value a money. have been there any alternative cons?

1) Mac’s can’t (as a rule) run Windows-only software. However, there are Mac programs (like Wine and Crossover) that will let you run some Windows programs on OS X (Mac’s operating system). Also, if you shell out the cash to buy a retail Windows XP or Vista disk you can *very easily* install Windows on your Mac. I have XP Pro installed on my iMac for the times I need to run a Win-only program.
2) If you REALLY know Windows, there might be a bit of a learning curve getting used to Mac. If all you do is check email, watch videos, play with your digital pictures, listen to music, ect….Mac’s are a lot easier to work with.
3) The cost is high. However, if you were to get a PC with the exact same specs as a MacBook Pro you’d be looking at pretty dang close to the same cost.
4) You can’t change the hardware yourself. All you can really change yourself is the RAM. Everything else is really sealed up. But if you don’t intend to swap out your video card or hard drive yourself, it’s not a big deal.
5) If you need help, your friends who don’t have Mac’s won’t be able to help you. But there are awesome Apple comunities online that offer great help, and Apple itself has lots of free software support.
That’s about it! I switched from PC’s to Macs in late 2007 and I’ve never looked back. I really love the fact that since I can install Windows on it, it’s basically two computers in one. So it’s actually a good deal! Ask your friend to try to run GarageBand on his PC and see what happens
I hope that helped!
heres one.. some programs that run in windows may not run in a mac..
2. notebooks are prone to overheating..i guess that was a more general thing but w\e
thats pretty much it.. what i do like about macs is that they never get viruses.. well like 99% of the time.. and i love that because windows gets viruses before u even start the computer.. and if ur into computers as much as i am it is a pain in the ass…
MACS RULE
I don’t know. The regular New MacBook is essentially the same thing, but smaller.
