| 2 GB of RAM, 160 GB HDD and 2.4 GHz CPU should work just fine for you. I don't use Macs much, but to my knowledge you may have to buy a different version of Office for a Mac... however, iWorks would probably be a fine replacement, the Powerpoint equivalent that comes in iWorks (Keynote, i believe) can produce some much nicer looking slideshows. The three year warranty costs $183, and it's probably worth it, unless your school has an outlandishly friendly tech-services department for students. Also, if you wait a few months the cost will probably go down with the back-to-school sales... |
