Location: Canada | I have a MacBook Air and its so light and fast, it's not the cheapest laptop on the market but if you want to have a laptop for the longterm I highly suggest going Mac. I use it for school and charges super fast too, last 12 hrs. Once you go Mac, you never go back. But I could be MacBook biased  |

| I love our MacBook! It's great, works great and so easy to use. And I actually know a lot of other students that use a MacBook for schoolwork and haven't had any problems. But if you want something a little less expensive, I have a Samsung laptop as well and it works great, has windows 8 (I believe) and easy to use. And not too bad price wise either! |

I love this MacBook. And I figured out how to transfer all my 1000s of songs in iTunes without getting mad and doing it one by one. I LOVE IT. Best choice by far. Now, what I need to do is buy a cover! Any suggestions? |

Jinx - 2014-01-09 10:19 AM brlracerchick - 2014-01-09 9:32 AM Is it safe to get a Macbook off craigslist? I've seen a lot of ones that are decently priced that say that they have been wiped clean. How do you know there isn't some spyware or something on it? You could repartition the hard drive and reinstall the OS just in case.
A system restore to factory settings. It will usually ask whether you want to repartition the hard drive or not. (erases everything off hard drive) |

So, if you were to do that it would erase any virus or anything on the computer? Does it work the same for a PC? |

 You just got to get mean and mean it.
Location: Arkansas | Rockyroad - 2014-01-09 3:09 PM My personal experience is that Windows 8 SUCKS! :) I hate it - have had it for over a year & can't wait til it dies so I have an excuse to ditch it!
I got a new HP laptop in December. Had Window's 8 on it, no tenager around for help, so found someone who had a copy of Window 7. Had him wipe Windows 8 off and install Windows 7. Turned my life around! I hated Windows 8!
Any laptop you buy now comes with Windows 8! |
