This computer is my first Mac. My mom and I have always been Dell microsoft explorer gals. Yet, due to our bad experience with our last computer; we decided to purchase a Macbook and see what all the fuss was about. This computer is pretty great. There are a few draw backs. Like I would like to have the lock screen be either different than my desktop picture or the same, and not that one that you get when you turn the computer on; it's really ugly and boring. Other than that, the computer is beautifully done and has hardly any updates; which is a real change compared to the horrible updates that I had to be subjected to when I was using my Aspire computer. Also, another real change is not having to push a button to turn on the computer. I'm learning to like this function and am not as worried as I was when I first experienced the computer doing this for the first time; you just open the computer and it comes on.  Here's another thing, I could be wrong, but this Macbook doesn't have touch screen. You can touch the bar, but not the screen. So, if you're looking for one that has this feature you might want to look elsewhere.  I for one don't care about touch screen, even though it would be a neat feature; it still works great for me and my mom.
