I bought the macbook in July 2006 and have loved it since the day I first used it.Its brilliant in every way possible.. I researched a lot before deciding to buy the macbook.. I weighed the pros and cons on buying a mac and its compatibility.. Lets start with the intel core duo processor.. its faster than any computer ive ever used.. the inbuilt camera is great.. apple provides most of the applications youll need.. though they give you iWork as a trial and after using it you jus have to buy it.. the screen is very good.. I was a PC user and thought that it mught be difficult adjusting to a mac but it really isnt.. the bad thing is that you can change the region code on the dvd player only 5 times totally.. but this computer isnt for gamers as the range of games available for mac is limited.. I myself love games but I chose to buy this as games are a million times better on the playstation 2..
