Well I'm 13 and I own a Macbook.
I think it's way easier to understand a Macbook than a PC. Every PC that this family has owned has become cluttered with photos, games, apps and get SUPER slow to deal with. We've had Macs that have lasted 4 years and they're fine.
It's a good idea to have an external hard drive. If someone's worried about spoiling someone else's data having your own drive stops this. You can have your own study computer, assignments are easily complete and in way less time than with a PC. I'm certainly not against it.
I'd say either a Macbook original, or a Macbook Air. They are both small, and are the same price of $999. Don't go buying a Macbook Pro, that laptop is expensive and to a 12-year old, it makes no difference between a Macbook Air and Macbook Pro. Both MAcbook Air and original Macbook have high memory for games and school projects, downloads etc. Take note that the Macbook Air has no disc drive. So if he or she is into watching movies or playing CDs, choose the original Macbook. Hope this helps!
Same problem here
Open the Utilities folder on your MacBook Air, this can be found in Applications. Click to open Migration Assistant and follow the prompts, make sure you have Migration Assistant open on both your Mac Mini, and your MacBook Air. Follow the prompts on your MacBook Air screen and you should be all ready to go!
There is absolutely no problem if it is used judiciously and safely...
Enough to make the chest raise
Answer 1:Okay do NOT get an iBook over a Macbook EVER!!! iBooks are very old and extremely slow. they cant have all the programs a macbook can get either. And do Not get the macbook air. get the macbook or the macbook pro. The air would break easier and doesnt have a disk drive. Macbook may be expensive, but it is worth is.Answer 2:The G3 iBooks are too old to be useful but the G4 iBooks are fine if you are web browsing, emailing, Facebooking, text editing, using iTunes and iPhoto etc. They can run Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).They cannot run 10.6 (Snow Leopard), the latest versions of iMovie, other movie editing /music creating software nor the latest games which will require a newer MacBook.
The answer is to just roam the well known sites, eBay may seem a bit dodgy but has good quality stuff on it
pet should get for a 8 year old?
You should be about 13 - 14 years old.
That should be ok, but a 6 year old should not be in there for an extended period.
blow out old air
