Hello, I'm Myradon, a fellow from Canada, looking to switch from micro$oft type systems to Mac. I've had some experience with Linux, but I've never used a Mac before. I would go with a Linux laptop, but there is only one retailer. Anyways, this is the system I ended up eyeballing. It looks to be in my price range, and all I need is a laptop/notebook that can handle word-processing and some web browsing chores. I will ussualy run my word-processor or art program, and a media (mp3) program.
Has anyone, students in particular used this system?
Can any one offer advice on weather this would be a good entry level system for a new Mac user?
What is the battery life like?
Is the platform as stable as people say?
Finaly I noted on the web page that the system comes with only 256 ram, I would be upgrading to at least 512, is that an upgrade I could make myself without voiding the warrenty?
Thanks,
-Myradon
