WHO are YOU!!

[iphonegeek786]

I just wanted to know what kind of people use the macbook pro. Are you a high school student(grade), a buisness man, college student, etc. Also what do you use it for? I wanted to see if it is worth getting a macbook pro at this age (early high school)

 

[Nugget]

Also what do you use it for?

You just never know.

 

[iShater]

It is my primary system with an external kb/mouse/display. IT guy at work, but use it at home for everything.

You just never know.

That is just ...

 

[dukebound85]

i am a person who uses it for computer'ish things

 

[Max(IT)]

It's my Mac.

Well .... actually is one of my two Macs (three considering my iPhone)

 

[TheDoctor.]

Fine Art Student.
I use my Macbook Pro for Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator and just general usage like web browsing and instant messaging.

 

[Gabriel GR]

I'm a database analyst. And that's what I use it for.

I also record music.

Excellent question. I am a graduate student, I think, and my day-to-day MBP use consists of iTunes (305GB) and the internet. However, I do write my fair share of papers (brilliant, might I add) and I dabble with large databases. I plan on taking up photography as a hobby, too.

I love my MBP

I am a student but plan on using macs throughout my future jobs.

College student?

College student?

Doing higher levels then off to Uni soon. (I live in the UK, the system differs from the US, I gather).

Business WOMAN here I'd say it's worth getting one at your age. If you'd have a windows machine at that age, you might as well get a mac instead if you can afford it

 

[maflynn]

I'm a system's administrator, though I don't use my Mac for that job. I use it primarily for my photography and personal use.

 

[Erasmus]

Just about to start Year 5 of Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering + Physics at University. Have had MBP since mid 2nd year. Got a G4 Cube at the end of Year 7 (1st year High School). Before that, I think I was using an LC 2. One of those old, horrid beige macs, anyway.

Obviously, having a computer at high school is a good thing. If you're wondering if you should get a MBP over a MB, the answer is the same as that to the question: Do you want to play computer games?

 

[sporadicMotion]

I use it for all my day to day jazz running a behavioural support program for children with lower functioning autism.

For fun, it does Music creation and a bit of web development.

 

[iphonegeek786]

I wonder if 16ish is a good age to buy one.

 

[reebzor]

I'm a full time college student and a full time network administrator and I'm 22

 

[thatguysmells]

I'm a college student, and an English/Writing tutor for my school. I use a 13" MBP and love it! And I'm 26.

 

[iBookG4user]

I am currently a college student and I use it for coursework and a photography business that I own and operate.

How are you finding the course? I am actually torn between engineering and general physics. Maybe we could exchange PM's instead of using the thread?

 

[aethelbert]

Someone thought that it would be most effective to license the mac version of Amadeus Altéa, so I'm left using god-awful software in my line of work.

In other words, two.

 

[seb-opp]

I got my macbook when I was 16, became a master at Garageband and used it to record music projects. Now Im at University I have less time for that and use it for general entertainment and of cause writing essays. I could get by with a PC these days, but really don't want to go back to one.

I wouldn't say there's an age when you should be 'entitled' to purchase one, if you have a use for a mac, or just can afford a premium computer, then go for it.

 

[instaxgirl]

I bought one at 16. I still have the same one at 21.

I should have waited until I went to uni and just used the school computers until then. Then I wouldn't be arguing with myself about whether to update this one now or not and I'd have got more for my money.

If buying another one when you graduate in 2 years isn't a problem then why not, otherwise you might as well wait. The vast majority of the people I know only bought their own laptop around the Summer before they went to university.

I'm a junior in high school and I bought a used '09 macbook just to see if the computer I buy when I go to college should be one that runs mac os x or a windows pc(right now I'm thinking windows because I like snow leopard and windows 7 equally and that new alienware netbook looks interesting)
