After struggling with a dell laptop for the past couple of years I've finally managed to scrape together some cash to delve into the world of the macbook.
I do some freelance journalism, a fashion related blog and also have A LOT of music and photos to store. I spend most of my waking life on the internet. I also like to do some video editing.
I've used macs at work but this is the first time I'll own one so forgive the lack of knowledge. I'd be great to get some advice on a few things.
- Should I go pro? I'm thinking of getting the aluminium 2.4GHz macbook as i definitely need the bigger hard drive, but should i save a bit more to get the macbook pro? it'll be a serious stretch financially, but i don't want to regret not going for it 6 months down the line.
- Extras? Is there anything else I should be thinking about buying/downloading to get the most out of my macbook based on the useage i've described above?
-Transfering files? A I said I have a lot of music and photos on my current laptop. I'm concerned about viruses on my laptop as it has basically stopped working altogether. Is there any risk of me transfering something that could damage the mac?
-Where to buy? In terms of price, support, etc am I best going to an apple store or elsewhere. I near the centre of London so that's no problem.
-Any other useful tips?
Thanks in advance. Any help will make this macbook novice very happy indeed.
