Apple Users

It does everything I need it to do. It's small enough to easily carry around and big enough to feel substantial.

Except for spilling some wine into the track pad, I've had no problems with it at all.

I used Open Office, a free program, and it has worked very well.

Macs are friendly, stable, easy to use but tend to cost more. But when I see my husband fighting with his computer and hear it having to reboot on a frequent basis, I am glad to have my Mac.

The Genius Bars in Apple stores are another real plus. You can easily make an appointment and they are very efficient and knowledgable. They also tend to be very consumer friendly, often offering free repairs or replacements if you are having significant problems.

If you go this route, you will have an adjustment period. While many functions are similar, some are quite different.

You might want to visit an Apple store and play with the laptops before you purchase.
