Advantages: Fantastic OS, easy to use, fast and efficient, miniscule threat of viruses
Disadvantages: Overpriced in terms of hardware, not as much software available compared to Windows

...in this aspect. Pricewise, Apple are always keen to exploit the market slightly. In my case, I had a lot of money which had been lying around for a long time so I decided to put it to good use. I am not your crazy PC gamer who relies on extremely fast processors, and amazing graphics card and a huge hard drive. What this Mac delivers is enough for casual use and running large programs. Although it may be slightly over priced in terms of specs compared ... Read review

Disadvantages: Free support only for 3 months.

...switching from Windows DO IT! Apple have a great bit of software called BootCamp (will be part of the next OSX Leopard) that allows dual booting of OSX and Windows. You can even get a virtual desktop to open Windows whithout having to boot out of OSX. I've dabbled in trying to triple boot with Linux too but yet unsuccessful. There's basic software to cover every task in OSX or the most complex if that's more your style. Almost all of your data will ...
...else is out there try Apple and Versiontracker. Theres a webcam stuck in the top of the screen even. I've not any use for that yet as most of my friends/family use old hardware but Photo Booth supplied will give you hours of laughs with your visitors. The speakers could go louder but try and work out where they are!? A subwoofer would solve my issue here. 4 months on and I'm still excited about using it. I say buy two!! ... Read review

Advantages: No bugs, major crashes, fast and loads of fun!
Disadvantages: Can't think of any....

I was absolutely blown away by this little computer! My partner, who is a graphic designer, bought this to replace the PC we had and as soon as I got on it I was away! It is so user friendly and easy to navigate. I have learned so much through just using and I don't get irritated by it because it hardly ever crashes. When it does 'crash' or 'freeze up' it's very easy to rectify as you just click 'force quit' and it solves the problem! Brilliant! ...
...to get it working again! Yay! There is also some really fun software already on it like the IMovies and IDVD that you can create your own little movies with photographs with music and effects. It's really good fun and that's the key to this little Mac, it's fun to use whatever you're doing! ... Read review
