MacBook…

I’ve been thinking about purchasing a MacBook as my next laptop, but a few things concern me. Even though I’ve read a whole lot about the interoperability with Windows, its the other things that I’m more worried about. The fact that the touchpad does not support taps in order to click is on the topmost of the list. Also that there is only one button on the touchpad… This basically means that there is absolutely no way that you can use the Mac with only one hand if you had to. Well all things apart, the functionality that it provides looks pretty amazing and convincing.

My other deciding factor is the pricing. The MacBook is fine, but it seems like a steep price for a 13″ screen. Also it will almost be like downgrading from my current 14″ screen.

My other question… Do I really need a new laptop?

touchpad does support tapping, i dont know if its enable by default but i know its there. I have a 13″ macbook, pretty good but i dont know for some reason i cant really use it for work(too different) when coming from windows background. I am interested in iPhone development but dint start it yet..lol

Oh that’s cool.. When’d you purchase it? Yeah, I know what you mean (about the too different bit)… I see them at BestBuy and use it for a few minutes and find myself struggling to find things.
