Great Purchase !!!

After years and years of having Windows at home, I decided to go with Mac. While I support both platforms at work, I wanted to stop supporting Microsoft at home, and turn my attention to Apple.

While no OS is perfect, Leopard has been easy, fun, and it has not crashed on me yet! :) The macbook itself feels solid, and is relatively small and not heavy at all!

To show off to my wife and kids, the day we got it, within 10 minutes of receiving it, I had the movie Cars up and playing. It was incredible compared to what I had to do previously with my Windows computers.

After 2 weeks of daily internet browsing, I started thinking about spyware (don't we all?). Curious, I researched spyware with Macs. Found a little program to scan, and only found 7 tracking cookies (most of them from google and harmless) and NO Spyware! I could not believe it! Oh, and forget about defrag. No need to worry about that on a Mac.

I believe Apple has gained yet another supporter.

Dead Pixel Marring Otherwise Great Computer

'Nuff said about how great this computer and Leopard are.

HOWEVER, out of the box I have one DEAD PIXEL just off center which shows as a black dot the size of a small period. According to Amazon and Apple, one dead pixel is not enough to warrant replacement of a brand new computer. I know it's one tiny pixel out of a million but once you notice it you always seem to see it. It just seems to me that for $1300 you should be able to receive a computer without screen imperfections. I wouldn't care about discoloration or scratches on the case but the screen should be perfect. I don't buy Amazon's & Apple's excuse that this is acceptable: no Mac I've ever owned had dead pixels; none of my friends' Macs have dead pixels; none I've seen in Apple stores have dead pixels etc. Had I purchased in an Apple store I could have walked in within 2 weeks and they would have most likely swapped it out. How can everyone I know and even my giant LCD TV not have any dead pixels but my brand new macbook has a permanent dot? On-line buyers beware.

Going on 3 years

Going on 3 years no trouble. Runs better w/ 2 GB ram than one. Better value than the Macbook Pro if you don't miss the screen real estate, graphics or the better speakers on the pro. Has never once crashed in over 2 years (I have the original core duo, not the core2). I did replace the battery at about 2 years, but I use it pretty heavily. We enjoy iChat and iLife quite a lot. Video chat is great for the family.

First Time Mac User

So far it is the best operating system I ever used. I am a JEE developer for a long time but worked on windows o/s because that what my employer's pc got. Anyway, the Macbook is really fast and got what I need. Fast wireless performance. Still learing the o/s little by little. I love it.
