I converted last summer and it cost $600 to get very standard Windows-type files converted over (you know, like Outlook). It runs hot (I just again plugged in the USB fan required so that's it's not so hot my hands don't burn while working on it) and freezes once or twice a week. The fact that there are Mac stores filled with "geniuses" just goes to show how a Mac isn't just that simple -- otherwise, they'd be like the Maytag man, lonely. For anyone NOT without quick access to a Mac store, I'd sure think twice about converting. Some things are cool -- mail's integration with calendar, say. But I've also experienced odd stuff -- like whole people dropping off the Address Book, like files disappearing entirely. (Thank goodness for an online backup discipline.) And Firefox fails all too regularly on a Mac. <abbr><em>Alanna’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KitchenParade/~3/osHAMFnZxJY/broccoli-rigatoni-with-chickpeas-lemon.php" rel="nofollow">Broccoli Rigatoni with Chickpeas & Lemon</a></em></abbr> A Mac is just another computer, it has its own problem, just different ones than PCs.

There are media professionals who also use the MacBook Air, the 1.83 model is fast enough for HD media so it shouldn't be marked RED.
