I do want to bring up the point that since macbooks also can run windows- there have been some incidents of viruses- being transmitted through bluetooth I think-
I haven’t had problems- but I don’t have a macbook
Just didnt want people to think that you never have any problems.
Also
always add more RAM- it is cheap enough that a 1gb is minimum & you don’t have to have apple add it
Oh
don’t forget if you go mac- you can get an education discount either online or through your school bookstore
I know I have mentioned all this before- but those of you will just have to deal!
wait till the last possible minute to buy a computer
They change and drop in price- and will probably do so as soon as you commit.
We rarely buy brand new computers.
I have bought refurbished computers from smalldog & from Apple.
As far as I can tell- identical to new.
They still have factory warranty and are eligible for extended warranty.
warranty important- especially with laptops.
