Is it a bad idea to transition from a PC to a Macbook in my first year of college?

<p>I agree. Unless you’ve grown up with a Mac or are already used to a Mac, there’s no reason to switch over. Especially with Windows 7, everything has become as user-friendly as the Mac OS.
And plus, in terms of hardware, Macs are generally 2 times more expensive than the same specs in a non-Mac computer/laptop.
So the only reason you would switch over is for the Mac OS, which is not very revolutionary compared to Windows.</p>
