yeah, i have a macbook. i'm about to get a mac mini cause the dell desktop crashed.
they only take some getting used to. especially the no-right click and using the apple key instead of the control key. but they're really user friendly. at least, more user friendly than windows computers. p:

What are you taking about? There is a right-click button. Go get a mouse that has right click. I use a Logitech laptop mouse (V400? I forget what model it was) and I right-click all the time.

Also if you go to system preferences, you can set it so that if you tap with two fingers (not two finger scroll, which scrolls the page up and down) it right clicks. It's that easy. ^^;; You never knew? :P

I own a macbook. My half-sister wanted a new computer, so I went to the apple store in my city and purchased the New Imac. It's pretty sleek, but she's still os x tiger, which we prefer over leopard anyway.

They are a little bit more expensive than some pc laptops (i.e. Dell Vostro lol), but pretty good. I did have to reformat once, within the past 6 months (got mines end of July), but only because my preferences would never save. So I backed up all my stuff, reformatted (A MUCH FASTER INSTALLATION THAN WINDOWS!), and reinstalled. It was kinda cool because I got to the the 3-d effect when I first install. Mmmm oishii... =X

Difficult to use? NO. It's not hard at all. I mean, it comes with an instruction booklet, and even then I didn't use it. And there's a website that has various tips on how to use it, like mac tips of the day.

what i meant was that there's no physical button beneath the trackpad, and that you have to use the shortcut of using 2 fingers or you have to press the control key while you click. and i don't really want an extra mouse because i usually use my laptop on my bed or on my lap, but thanks for the suggestion. :D
