In The Market For A New Laptop - Page 2

I bought a MacBook Air in December of last year and love it! I bought it from the Apple store, and they set it up for me. They have classes in the store that will help you. I had a Dell prior to getting my MacBook Air. I am thrilled with my laptop.

Thanks @Jordan2 et al for your comments. My HP is four years old. I think I'm headed to apple next time as well. Interesting to see what everyone's experience is. On thing amazes me ... That Dell can still sell computers. Never again will I own one of those. JUNK IMO!!!

Good of luck with your purchases everyone! LM

For those of you who have made the switch from a PC to a Mac, did you find it difficult to use it? My nephew says it's very different from what I'm use to. I'm afraid I won't get the hang of it. I have an iPod and iPad and am fine with them.

So you have not bought one yet? Just want to understand.

I didn't have a hard time getting used to it. They have classes at the Apple store that you can sign up for. You can either go to free classes or pay for a year's worth of private classes on things you specifically want to learn. You can also just Google your questions and usually you'll find your answer. I really love mine. I can't imagine ever going back to a PC.

No I'm waiting until my computer dies! Also if you knew me you'd know I have trouble deciding what food to order let alone a purchase like a computer!

Please backup your data. You do not want to lose anything.

Today, for my birthday, my husband bought me a MacBook Air, and I just love it. I had an 8 year old Mac and also loved it. I had no problems with viruses. It just began getting very slow. The online Apple service is great. I'm going to take some refresher courses which are free. I bought it directly from an Apple store. I was able to get a teacher discount of $50 which was fine by me. I know it's more expensive from the other laptops, but if this laptop does as well as my last one, I feel it's worth it. Good luck. I hope you find the best laptop for you.

We [my husband and two daughters] have two HP laptops a Toshiba and now we recently brought a Acer that I love. The CS is great too. I would buy any PC but a Dell they went Global and the CS is a terrible. And I agree with the other poster that said they break down after a year. I would also not order any electric from QVC they are known to sell older items with software that people will never need or use. Happy shopping O/P.
