  1. get a macbook pro the apple website says you can get wifi anywhere plus im saving up for one


  2. internet speed has nothing to do with the computer.

    it has to do with your internet service provider (ISP).

    both are easy to use, although some things you use now will not be able to be used on a mac. but you can put windows XP on it, and use it that way.

  3. If the plan and the hardware is the same, then the speed would be the same, but the macbook does have a more reliable speed.

  4. Yes, the new ones do.

  5. Mac seems to be faster because it isnt plaqued with viruses and other malicious problems windows has.

  6. lol the computer has very little to do with internet speed that is dependent on your isp (internet service provider). I love my macbook but the speed between internet on mac and xp or vista are the same.

  7. Why waste money on a mac book to surf? Thats like buying a race car to go get groceries...

    Macs tend to be more expensive then PC counterparts.  And internet speed is determined by the Network Interface card (NIC) installed. More than likely they are similar. So it would depend on your connection to the internet, dsl, cable, dialup, etc.

    To the poster above, yes Macs and OSX/leapord do get spyware, viruses and other things. We just don't hear about it as often.

  8. Internet speed in notebooks is determined by your wireless card. Depending on how old the laptop you are replacing is, the "Mac book" will be faster because they use wireless "n" cards.

    Apple's web browser is likely to be faster than most, yet you can download and use a PC version. iTunes dominates the digital music programs, yet again you can use this on a PC.

    If all you want is a laptop to listen to music, surf the internet, and not much else. Get a PC, spend less than $500 on it, so in a few years when you decide you need to do more, you can upgrade to either a better PC or a Mac book.

    I have a Mac book pro for school & personal use, and two HP laptops for work. I like the Mac for surfing and music, but if I could only have one, I would have to take the PC, I have to be able to connect to work.

    Enjoy!  

  9. they're the same on that since you have the same isp

  10. processing speed and internet speed are two different things.

    a better processor means the internet will be faster only in that you computer can process the information faster but if your still on dial up well your still on dial up.

  11. macbook is so fast its literally click and the web page is loaded .. really good .
