nt of graphical effects that are standard with OS X. So obviously, I custom ordered mine with 512MB RAM and a Bluetooth Module. Also, I threw in iWork because I WILL be using this for school, and I am not sure how good AppleWorks was (Included), and I wasn't going to risk having to buy iWork later if needed.
The software packaged with the iBook is just amazing. iLife, which, by itself is $79.99 has got to be one of the best built-in software packages I've ever seen. iTunes, iDVD, iMovie HD, iPhoto, and GarageBand. (Package called iLife) We can just push aside iTunes though, considering it is available as a free download on the Apple website. But taking a look at the rest of the iLife package really makes you wonder how they do it. Every piece of software included is insanely easy to use. Simple drag-and-drop is probably the hardest part of even using it.
This part is probably for the not-so-computer-savvy people. The ease of using OS X is unmatched. I've been teaching computer lessons to students and adults since I started here, and I think if everyone picked up a Mac, then i'd be out of a job. I felt dumb about this, but I installed some software (a game...boo hoo) and needed to uninstall it due to the confusing installer (Blizzard stuff). I searched the HDD for an uninstall program for hours. Searched the net for hours..no one could tell me how to uninstall! Turns out, the way you uninstall on a Mac is actually the was we were told to NEVER delete software in Windows. Just simply drag the directory to the trash. It's that simple. Also, burning CDs is equally as easy. No disfunctional, expensive burning software. Just drag the files to the CD drive on your desktop and hit Burn. This simplicity of things is sickening.
I know I will be shunned out of my tech clique I'm in for saying this, but everybody, unless you are gamers (not including Blizzard games), ditch that PC, get a Mac. If you need a good, affordable Laptop, stay away from Windows, unless you want a professional teaching you how to maintain your machine, get a Mac. Sure, they are a tad bit more expensive, but so what? Want a desktop? For $1,299, get an iMac. You will NOT be disapointed.
