I have always had a pc at home, but have always had a mac at work. My pc started to become extremely unreliable, slow and complicated to sort so I decided to try a mac. I have had this version for about a month now and I have never looked back. Everything is so easy! We got BT internet and we were online within 5 minutes at the most, and that was the wireless too, something that had NEVER managed to work on the PC. We have a playstation 3 and always had to run an ethernet cable in order to go online, but not anymore. I have also loaded a game onto the mac, also very easy. It was a matter of dragging and dropping the logo from the disk folder onto the desktop, letting it copy (about 5 mins) and that was it installed and ready to play. No complicated options etc. to confuse you. Another thing it is good for is transferring files from your camera/mobilephone. You simply connect the cable via the usb port and it automatically detects your files, be it photos etc. No need to install software disks that came with the camera.mobile phone. The machine also has a few fun items already installed. Most obvious is Itunes, but also Garageband and Photobooth. This is particularly entertaining as the webcam (inbuilt in the mac) is displayed on-screen and is basically like looking at yourself in a Hall of Mirrors if you view the special effects. Overall, this is an excellent machine and if you are comtemplating the move from pc to mac i couldn't recommend it highly enough.
