Just bought a new Alu Macbook

[SkillsToShow]

Hey everyone, I just bought a new 2.0 Ghz Alu Macbook from amazon and it should arrive this Wednesday. I have been using windows all my life and have never used a mac before. I am very excited to try out this new mac but I am also starting to worry about a few minor things.

How does the warranty work on these macbooks? is it any different because I bought it from amazon instead of the apple store?

Is there anything I need to know about the mac before I take it out of the box?

Will the macbook connect to my linksys wireless-n router?

Is there an easy way to transfer my itunes library easily to the new macbook?

Any tips or advice for a completely new mac user like me?

Very cool, i just bought my first mac

1 Year. I don't think it is different.

Is there anything I need to know about the mac before I take it out of the box?

Look at it for about 2 hours, then take it out. It's so beautiful.

Check for problems like.. Scratches, loose battery cover, slanted keys. I had none of these problems, but some people have.

Will the macbook connect to my linksys wireless-n router?

It should, Yes.

Any tips or advice for a completely new mac user like me?

Have fun. Its Amazing compared to a PC. Very easy to learn and setup also.

Congrats

Warranty is full 1 year from Apple (parts and labor). You can buy Apple Care to extend it to 3 years.

Should connect to your router without any problems.

Some guides
www.apple.com/findouthow
www.apple.com/support/mac101

Apple Store can transfer your files from pc.

Is there an easy way to transfer my itunes library easily to the new macbook?

If you have an External hard drive, or a Flash/Thumb drive you can easily transfer your music. Drag-N-Drop

Or you could have apple do it. If your lazy

Haha yea, I know how to transfer the music over but what I need help with is transferring the album artwork, song ratings, etc within itunes from my windows PC to the macbook.

There should be a Itunes Files.

Itunes Music library.XML
That has all the song titles, ratings, etc. (I think)

And I'd just drag everything over.
All itunes folders.

Album artwork, Itunes music, Itunes Library files. Its worth a try.

I some how managed to do it. Everything was the exact same.
