Apple macbook?

Jun 09, 2007 by Alex | Posted in Software

ok i am thinking of getting a apple macbook. However i have never had an apple before so i was wondering what application do you use for producing documents. As with microsoft you use microsoft word, what do you use with an apple macbook??

Sure, that sexy super model you wish you were dating might fret about her age, but she wouldn't make a big deal about two years. But for a , two years is half a lifetime. If dog years are at a one to seven ratio to human years, computer years are more like one to 20, so when you think about it a certain way, running a computer on two year old components is like a 40 year old running a marathon. Sure, it's possible, but that spry 20-something is going to do it much faster. If you had $2,000 to bet, would you wager it all on the 40 year old?

The reason for such quick and extreme outdated-ness is the speed at which the computer and component industries move. The fastest processor for any given price hardly lasts six months before a faster version comes out. RAM jumps from DDR to DDR2 to DDR3 in a span of just a few years. There's even a scientific law, Moore's Law, which basically states that processors will double in speed (it actually refers to transistor count, but speed is a direct correlation) every 18 months to two years. Yet, Apple continues to sell a computer with a two year old processor core! What's worse is that this collection of middle-aged hardware that comprises a MacBook Pro is still the same price as when it was released (not counting the first two months' "early adoption tax" – that premium you pay for something that is brand new)—that’s something virtually unheard of in the rest of the, .
