The things that i like about my macbook pro is that it doesn't slow down on me at all or doesn't take a million hours to process something like clicking on the internet button and then finally popping up. I got my mac for school and i have thoroughly enjoyed it. Also if you are a gamer on the pc you can also get programs that have it run with dual compatibility (vmware fusion or virtual box) that you can run windows on it also. My parents started to use my computer when i came home over breaks because it actually worked over their pc, so when they said enough was enough they bought the new imac, which is a sexy, sleek, and powerful machine imo. So far in the past 6 months or so that they have had it, they havent had any problems. O ya, and a word of advice, if your hands are wet, dont type on the keypad because you can fry the keyboard part of your macbook, luckily i had apple care and didnt have to pay for it!
