I have used my macbook for 3+ years now and it hasn't let me down yet!
The macbook is a great laptop for the average consumer. If you want to easily upload your photos from your camera, organize them without any difficulty and instantly share them on facebook, twitter etc using the iPhoto program. Easily create music on the garageband program, and even hook up your electric guitar/piano etc. to record your own instrumental song. Surf the web with the fast safari browser. Easily edit your videos with the imovie program. Play a professional pre-setted slideshow with awesome music and effects on the frontrow program. Easily find files on your computer using spotlight. Take quick pictures of yourself with the built in camera and edit your taken pictures with fun effects using the photo booth program.
Everything is pre-installed to the macbook, so there's no need to search and buy programs. Everything is there for you straight out of the box!
And you dont have to worry about viruses since the mac os X operating system cant be touched by viruses. It really is a beautiful experience.
A must get for the average consumer!
