Good afternoon.
My son turns 13 in the next few weeks and I would like to buy him a laptop. We currently have a 4 year old mac laptop and definitely want to stay with Apple. We'll also be buying an iMac for the adults (so-called) in the house...
He will be doing web and blog work, word processing and other presentations, and other school type work. He would like to be able to have a audio keyboard hooked up as well as he like music.
What do you all recommend? MacBook or Pro. From what I can see, the only real advantage of the 13" pro is the SD slot. I might be missing something but the most recent incarnation of the MacBook seems pretty good.
Any suggestions of other software for him to consider??
One off the wall question is if anyone knows whether MS train simulator will run on a Mac using Fusion (or something else) and XP??
Any other suggestions are welcome as well.
Where do people usually have good success buying from?
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks much in advance.
Scott
