Well imma be transferring schools next fall. And i thought it would be good to buy a mac, the question is I Dont know which one.

Right now I have an insignia desktop and a dell laptop. And I wanna switch over to MAC.

The macbook pro is 1,999
and the Mac is 1,499
-those are the prices because those would be the ones i would get.

i dunno which one i should get, its hard. I mean i could take my macbook pro anywhere and i could just go to my school with that and that would be all i needed. Or i could buy a mac now and then maybe buy a macbook pro later, depending on the situation.

keep in mind i am paying for this by myself. no parent help haha.

Soo many decisions.

Previous Mac OS's weren't bad, but I have heard terrible things about Leopard.

eek really ? do they have patches like windows? or nvm like updates right?

thanks for all the info so far.

so far my decision still stands at macbook because i read some of the imacs had precipitation in their monitors.

and i kinda want to hold off becuase i wanna see what other design apple is going to come up with their macs. its so hard to do something different since their designs are becoming more minimalistic.
