You're better off getting it from a certified Apple reseller, such as Harvey Norman, Myer, etc. They often have offers and/or discounts. I bought my iMac with a mere 10% discount. It may not seem a lot, but discounts with Apple products are very rare.bawd said:
The printers that are offered at the Apple Store are HP ones. I've had a look at them, myself. In all honesty, they are somewhat dear, in contrast with department stores that stock them. But then again, you're essentially getting it for free, so I can't really complain about that.bawd said:
No... you should try a Mac before you become anti-Mac. With my Windows PCs in the past, I've experienced problems a month into running the machine. With my iMac, I've only experienced some hiccups, mainly with Firefox with the spinning rainbow wheel frequenting the screen. Other than that, everything seems to be fine.infl3xion said:
if you are only goin to use the computer for educational purposes why not a sub notebook like the eeepc or the MSI wind.5233andy said:
Yeah I know. The date is 14th October, but keep in mind that these are rumors. BTW, do you know whether Apple do worldwide releases or does it get released in the US first, then other countries follow? I'm pretty sure the 'Let's Rock' convention was the worldwide launch of the Nano, so I'm hoping they release new MacBooks the same time in Australia.5233andy said:
Though they are relatively cheap and very compact, you have to question its reliability and whether it's worth the money. If it turns out to be the same as using the school or university's computers, I wouldn't really bother with such a small computer.emytaylor164 said:
What? Dude Vista on any laptop is an absolute battery hog. My Macbook gets about 5 hours of battery life per charge. Way more than any PC I've ever used.senorita05 said:
Did you know that Windows actually runs more efficiently on a Mac? Some computer company (I'll find the link later) actually did a test running Windows on a MacBook Pro and some other high-end PC laptop. Guess what? The MacBook Pro came out on top. Weird, huh?senorita05 said:
I'm not a computer maniac, but the only software that I had to purchase for use on my Mac is Office for Mac 2008. I don't think that Macs require antivirus protection and whatnot - something that could be deemed as a necessity for all Windows PC users. What I like about Macs is that they come with the full version of pre-loaded software. If you've purchased a manufactured Windows PC, you'd understand what I mean - you get the trial version of softwares which eventually ends up being removed from your system.senorita05 said:
Err if that was targeted at me, I don't use GarageBand... Though, I do use iPhoto...Gavvvvvin said:

Not necessarily. Apache has debunked 'security by obscurity'.Garygaz said:
Sure, some of the standard programs that come built in to the OS are utter crap, but other after-sale programs for Mac are great. Some litterally shit all over they're Microsoft counterparts. Vice-versa with other programs too. Don't call people who use Mac "Mac faggots", because that just shows your close-minded.Gavvvvvin said:
