Has anybaody experience with them? I only have an IPod, but think about buying Ibook or Powerbook. the macbookpro is holy shit, never seen a compareable system.

what is with compatibility to windows? know that exist an extra office pack for mac.

want to use it for study, so need office. Very important is music, movies and internet, sometimes gaming., does exist a mac version of "nfs most wanted"?

Do I get advantages by buing apple in comparism with windoof?, the battery capcity is impressive, know no other system with more than five hours, if this will be true.

can i make a network consisting of a mix of windoof and mac?

where i can buy them for a better price?

No, your English is fine. Its just that people have strong opinions as far the whole Mac vs Windows thing goes.

I'm all about Apple. But then I'm not a gamer, if that matters. There are games for macs. You can get Office for mac. It may well come with AppleWorks too. Appleworks can open anything created in Office. You may be able to get Keynote instead of using PowerPoint.

As far as battery life goes, mine was near 6 hours and now over a year later it's more like 3 hours.

Everything I do is pretty compatible with windows when I send out file sand vice versa.

But you might want to wait until mac goes from it's IBM/Motorala made processors to Intel in the next few months to a year.

sounds nice, what is with compatibility with digicams and mobile phones? saw there at apple.com/de that there were only a few cams which will support mac.

I've had a (lampshade) imac, and currently an ibook. The ibook was supposed to compliment the imac, but it ended up being my weapon of choice. I made the switch around the time Os 10.2, and haven't looked back.

It's as easy or as difficult as you'd like to make it, and finding programs for a specific task is a non-issue. You also have the option of running Linux programs if you know what you're doing, thanks to X11. Sometimes that's easy, and sometimes not-so-much.

Have a look at www.versiontracker.com - it's a mac shareware site. Simply search for the kind of program you want and you should see lists, usually with screenshots. :)

Most cameras are supported in OsX. Just because they're not at the Apple store doesn't mean they're not supported. I've had a Canon, a Sony, and a Nikon, and never had problems.

As for mobile phones, check out the compatibility list from www.apple.com/isync. Basically, if the phone supports the syncml standard, it stands a good chance of working with a mac. I'm even using a Pocketpc Phone edition pda, and syncning with the mac via a program called Pocketmac. It works better than Activesync in Windows. :)

I was an IT major in college and programed on PS the 5 years I was there. Right after I graduated I bought a PowerMac. I now work for Apple Computer. I will never go back to a PC. OSX is a LOT more stable then windows and the iPods work a hell of a lot better on MACs.

Apple iPad "mini".

http://www.pcworld.com/article/258778/report_apple_preps_ipad_mini_to_battle_nexus_7_kindle_fire.html

How many of you are looking forward to this? I know business-wise it's good to bridge the gap between an iPhone and iPad, but it just seems like they'll be canabalizing it's own tablet market with a 7 inch device.

I'm not sure what to think about it. I agree that bridging the gap isn't a bad idea. It'll sell - people will buy it. I like the idea of having something smaller than the iPad available for convenience of portability but at the same time the size of the iPad seems close to ideal for me already. It's a little more compact than a laptop and gives ya some decent real estate to move around in. I think I'd still go for the full-size iPad.

I look at it as a better sized remote control. the current one is used in a lot of installs i do, but i think a 7" version will be more practical.

When i was looking to get a tablet, the samsung galaxy tab looked better on paper than an apple ipad. the galaxy wasnt that nice to use, wheras the ipad ran like a clock. My ipad has half replaced my ageing windows laptop. I am looking at getting an imac desktop at sometime in the future. I feel the apple operating system is alot stable than the windows counterpart.

And the method in Apples madness has worked again.

The flow on effect where people who buy an iPod/iPhone/iPad have a great tendency to move fully into the apple eco system.

For me it was the Apple Powerbook first 12 years ago... i even bought the first iPod 2 weeks after it's release, i can't see myself leaving, it just works.

Absolutely! Thats what i tell anyone. It just works. At the end of the day, we want to use a computer, music player, mobile, without having to worry about whats happening in the background, even though it is good to have a technical awareness about the product you use. The ipad was my first. I needed a tablet because i move around from room to room. The laptop stays in one place. its just too bulky to lug around. Soon after, i got myself an ipod classic because i needed to store music separate from the ipad. the ipads capacity isnt large enough to store all the music you want. And besides, the ipad should be used more for reading whilst moving around than draining the battery listening to music anyway. The ipod classic is connected to an ipod dock, and i dont need to worry about battery life. I think my next mobile will probably be an iphone, because im used to the apple operating system now, and i lke the idea of syncing seamlessly between all devices via a master desktop. My windows laptop has had it. Its reached full capacity, overheats, is unstable and crashes frequently.

Agreed. I've always liked Apple but Windows machines just made sense since my cousin and brother-in-law are both IT guys. When I was in college I wanted a Mac but my parents got me a custom built PC from my cousin. It did the trick but wasn't the same. Five or six years ago we got an iMac because I was tired of Windows. People thought I was a crazy because who would help me when I needed it? We would be the only people in the family with a Mac. I didn't care besides I knew I wouldn't be needing as much "help" with my Mac as I did with the PC. My IT bro-in-law is jumping ship with his next laptop and desktop. Him and his wife both have iPhones and iPads now and they've had iPods for years.

Loving it. Just because it's radical and everything I've heard about it seems like it's on a different level. I want one. I've always loved the towers - they're just a tad expensive.

Any thoughts on iOS 7 (7.0.2)?

It's different.... some things i don't like, but as with any operating system there are bound to be.
Given time i shall adapt and eventually it will feel the norm.


Try going back to an old operating system after adapting to a new.... i reckon you'll stick with the new .
