Ok, I am a comparative newbie to the computer world and a definate novice to the Apple. Am looking at getting a laptop for my personal use and for the kids to get comfortable with using an Apple and a PC. Have been to the Apple store in our local mall to look a bit. This will not be used for games (much) just personal web surfing, some finances, photos and other basic stuff. Any suggestions on what model to buy? How do you feel about refurbished models for Apple? Extended warranties worth it? Please not too technical and thank you for your help

I am thinking about buying the Apple MacBook 13inch White 2.2GHz online for ,199.00. Here are some additional specs:
2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB memory
120GB hard drive1
Double-layer SuperDrive
Would you concider this a good buy? I used imac's in highschool but I own a Dell laptop. I am interested in the MacBook because of the fun things I can do with photos and videos.
What is your opinion? Should I opt to buy more Hard Drive space/Memory?

I have been using Windows since the early 90's and have never used a Mac. I have an HP desktop and plan on still using it. I also want to buy a laptop because I have Wifi throughout my house and I don't always feel like sitting at a desk. A friend of mine recently switched to Mac and can't say enough good things about it. I just recently invested in an ipod touch. I downloaded itunes onto my PC and it's been working fine for me as far as loading stuff into my ipod. I basically plan on using the laptop mainly to play the MMO City of Heroes (which now has a version for Apple), to surf the web, manage my music and photos, play around in photoshop elements, and to a lesser extent edit home movies and the like from my camcorder. Given that these are the main and probably only reasons I would be using the laptop, is it worth spending the extra to get the Mac book or should I stick to an HP laptop with Windows?
And please refrain from the whole Mac vs. PC flame wars. Ideally I'd like to hear from people who have used both systems.

I have a Dell desktop at home. I wanted my laptop to be a Mac. I do not game, I would only use it for internet browsing, music and photos/home movies most importantly school, which means I need Microsoft word, and powerpoint and Adobe to be compatible. Also will the data on my desktop be able to be transferred to the Macbook? Thanks!

Am looking at buying a Mac Laptop mainly because they are alot better to use for editing photos & videos etc, but am not sure which one would be best for my money! Am looking to spend no more than 00 (AUD) but of course would like to spend less if I could. Doesn't have to have the biggest harddrive as I already have my own.

I just want to be able to edit some photos (not professional) and listen to music and edit some documents. It also needs a DVD player. What should I look for in terms of specs and price? Oh, and wireless is a must! I want to surf the internet at home on my wireless network.
