Question: Children D you think that if your child wants to earn enough money to buy a Macbook Pro, that you should help them?  Or do you think they should buy it all on their own?
Document: I picked this one over many others from heavy experience with photo gear, and know that Think Tank makes exceptionally good pro gear. It protects my computer from the elements quite well, holds more gear than I can explain here (I have reviewed it), and can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to protect their MacBook with the kind of case that it really deserves.Browser note: I've used the included Safari browser, but my de-facto standard remains Google Chrome.
After a few years of hesitation I finally "drank the kool-aid" and bought my first Apple computer, the MacBook Pro 13 in. The biggest reason I put this purchase off is not because of the Apple products themselves, I truly didn't think I was good/smart/worthy enough of a Mac. My fears were put to rest with the delivery of my MacBook this week.
I had used Windows based laptops and notebooks (Toshiba, Acer) for the last 5 years and I can't see myself going back for anything. This computer is FAST. It is stylish. It's not cheap, but it's durable. When you think of the fact that the first graphing calculators were as expensive as a MacBook Pro (and that during a time when money was worth a lot more) it's not hard to believe that this is worth it.
Though it may not last as long as my Asus netbook, the battery gets me through the day, and the added benefit of great performance makes the slight hit in battery life worth it tenfold.I didn't need the super-portable MacBook Air, only something that was small enough and light enough to not be overly-noticable. If you are having trouble deciding between the Air and the Pro, think about what you need.
You will pay more, but I think money is less important than time and the extra bucks are worth the savings in patience you will need with a PC and Windows. However, if you are truly looking for that ability to figure out code and love to wait for Windows to consistently update and crash, save some cash and buy a PC. You can tuck away the savings you will eventually need for relaxation therapy sessions after purchasing a PC.
Could be better.Tired of having to replace my cheap computers and spending all that money for something with poor performance.Over all the MacBook is put together well. The rubber seems stay in place, the power button is flush with unparalleled precision. Doesn't have a cheap feel to it.i5 processor can handle most jobs fairly well. Not powerful enough to play games or do any heavy-duty video processing, but mild video processing is acceptable.
They had to open up iOS a little and let non-Apple employees make apps.In summary, Apple makes consumer products and consumer solutions, not enterprise or developer. Do not buy a Macbook expecting it will help you be productive especially in enterprise or business settings. It primary purpose is consumption and making it otherwise takes a ton of work.
after years and years having difficulties with PC's, I save some money and buy me a MacBrook Pro. I couldn't be happier, this is the best investment so far, very quick easy to use, almost everything I use to do with Pc's I'm doing it here.
I was in desperate need of a laptop after my DELL died in the 8th grade. I was stuck using a desktop PC for awhile. Finally, sophomore year of college, I decided to finally buy a Macbook. I usually regret spending this much money all at once, but never did with this. I'm happy I made the decision to buy this. It's light & easy to take with me everywhere.
I wanted to type a formula for a cell in Excel and cannot find the formula bar. May be someone can help me if they know a way around enhancing this experience.Quick Links - The docking bar essentially acts likes the quick link shortcuts in Windows  7. CMD+W closes the application and CMD+Q quits the application, you have to be careful enough not to press Q instead of W.Delete button - There is no substitute to Shift+Delete in OS X(CMD+del).
Answer: both my kids saved half of the money in high school to purchase their macsbooks and I paid the rest, one was willing to go with an Apple refurbished and her's was half the price.  If they can save the funds then I say yes.
