I have an inspiron 1501, which has served me great for a year but ive had my eye on OS X for a while, im not too crazy about apples hardware but i love the operating system.
I use my computer mostly for pictures, watching dvd's. surfing the net, email, light word processing and the occasional video and picture editing.
I do like that the macbook use mostly intel hardware so if i want to run ubutntu in the future i can without any probs, also i can run windows xp which is great
The only thing i dont like about the macbook is its 13" screen and how it has a very thick border around it. my inspiron has 15.1 screen so its gonna feel like a downgrade.
So heres some questions i have before i buy anything.
1)I heard macbook's have heat issues, is this true?
2)I also heard airport has trouble connecting sometimes and isnt that reliable again is this true?
3)Do apple hardware last long?
4) how well does leopard do with 512 ram
5) Does it matter if its refurbished ?
6) is now a bad time to buy mac since leopard was just released and still has problems that are being worked on
7)Will apple release new macbooks soon ? should i wait ?
