What do you think about Apple's computer range..?  

I think macs are great - upfront. But also, most of my friends really promote them too, just an interesting contrast to the nightmares you've heard. Even if they are PC users they generally feel that Macs atleast have the advantage when it comes to software, but a lot of them aren't willing to fork up the cash.

If you really are thinking about getting a Mac, you should know they've recently made their Macbook Pro's a lot more affordable! The 13" Macbook pro is only 1199 now, and since you said you're a student you'd also get the discount, making it only $1099! That's a great price, especially when you can sell the iPod touch you get with it for about 200 bucks on ebay. That's under 1000 now!If you are viewing this post, it was written June 12th so the macbook pro isn't really all that new anymore(the one I was talking about). If you want to see about how soon the new ones come out, follow this link:

i know macs are good with very limited functionalities and the fewer softwares are pretty expensive just as the pc..good thing they are virus free..so no viruses..go to www.apple.com or any apple store near you for the customer experience..
