Hey, my first computer was a Mac Performa 550 (we're talkin 100MB HD, 8 Megs ram, OS 7.5!). I've been on PC's eversince then, and I'm currently leaning towards getting an Apple laptop. I'd probably get an ibook if they came with a 15" display, and higher quality RAM. So I'm looking at the PowerBook with a combo drive (i'd rather spend a few hundered dollars on a DVD-R for my desktop then spend several hundered more for one on the laptop). There's a few options listed at apple.com that I'm not familiar with. Can you help me define them? Here they are:
- Keynote? (sounds like PowerPoint to me)
- .Mac? Is it worth anything?
- AirPort extreme? Is that just a wireless network card?
- Is Bluetooth cool? What's the battery life on a keyboard? I don't need a wireless mouse, cause I do a lot of navigating with the keyboard, and the D-Pad has never bothered me
What type of word processing programs come with it if any? On my Performa 550 (R.I.P.) I used to use ClarisWorks, and I loved it.
Lastly, would/did you buy direct from apple.com? Or buy in-store? Thanks in advance!
