any computer can get a virus, but Macs hardly any unless you're carless on the things you browse or download. I haven't had a major virus yet
I have my moms old Compaq for that careless shyt
New owner here and I'm happy
Slight learning curve but imma come around .
Any must haves for a new MacBook pro owner ?
Memory Clean - is a nice app that frees up memory if your mac should ever get bogged down.
X11, Wine and CrossOver - are some app that should help you easy into Mac OS X fully. these apps let you run some Windows apps natively on OS X
App Cleaner - to help you remove most file when you want to delete/uninstall an application
App Trap - runs in the background and associates plist, (program files that usually remain after a app is deleted/uninstalled), and identifies and prompts you to delete the files them when you delete/uninstall an application.
CCleaner for Mac
7zX, The Unarchiver - For Archive/ compressed files
MPlayer X - Similar to VLC but it works better on Mac IMHO

I've had the same mac for about 4 years now and I still didn't know all this
I cosign all of these expect Memory Clean. With the newer operating systems, apps like Memory Clean defeat the purpose of caching.

Had PC's for 22 years now. Only had one virus, and that was in the 90's.
I don't know what my point is.
This. I stopped copping those $200 joints and copped a $1000 one (at least that's what the price is now. I paid $700). I rocked with my girl's mac for a few months. Very nice laptop. But there are some things about the Mac OS that I just couldn't rock with. It's easy to use, but restrictive too.
I was looking at top of the line laptops and the specs ares superior to similar priced macs. One thing though that apple has going for it is the compatibility with their other products and that's why folk will shell out the cash. If you got a ipad and a iphone you're going to want to get a macbook.
I would love a macbook pro but $2K+ just isn't worth it IMO if you're not using it for anything other than surfing the net.
I bought a 500 buck lenovo which comes with 1920X1080 Native resolution which is not "Retina" but good enough and 6 GB of ram. Very hard high quality plastic casing which is solid (similar to PVC). Threw in a 90 dollar 256 GB solid state in there and I was set to go
I got a joint with better specs than that. Just need to add the SSD and I'll be
One thing though...in 3 years I'll have to toss this PC in the trash while if I had a Macbook I'd be able to get some money for it. Resale value is pretty good.
If screens size is an issue, just cop a big monitor. The 13 inchers have better battery life and are very light. 15 inch macbooks are almost overkill.
I copped yesterday from apple.com....screen sized looked nice in person
