New Mac user here. I've been on Windows comps since Windows 3.0. Used Linux Red Hat and Mandrake for a year, but didn't have enough usablity for what I wanted at that time, so went back to Win2000 (yes it was a while ago). Been using XP since it came out, and don't plan to downgrade to Vista. Not worth it, as XP works just fine.

Bought me the following for my own music recording, and I needed a laptop:

Macbook 2.0GHz Duo Core 2 White

1GB Ram (soon to be upgraded to 2GB)

80GB hard drive

13" screen

I basically got the basics that you can get. At the moment, I don't need any bigger hard drive, and once I get my Mac Tower, thats where the majority of the music I'll be recording will be stored, not on the Macbook. And if the harddrive starts getting full, I've still got a 200GB harddrive in my XP machine that I can just drag things over, via my network.

I am so far very happy with my purchase, and just bought a book to learn the complete ins and outs. I think I will fully convert once I buy the tower in a year or so. My XP machine will probably be kept for my wife. Though she likes Mac's, she admits she can use the XP easier.

Started off with;

iBook G4 12-inch

PowerPC 800MHz

30GB Hard drive

640MB of Ram

CD-RW

OS-X Panther

This was used for about a year, I customised it and filled the 30Gb with Mac Zeolot documents, e-books and styles. This was then passed onto my father as his first Mac, while I upgraded to;

iBook 12-inch

PowerPC 1.2GHz

40Gb Hard drive

1Gb or Ram

CD-RW

OS-X Panther

I used this laptop to develop my Macintosh skills, this was the first Mac that I actually bought 3rd party apps for. Shapeshifter and Candybar helped with the customisation. I researched the power of Macs by downloading hundreds of unix and Mac e-books. I then updated Panther to Tiger. Again this laptop was passed to my father, he returned my 800MHz iBook which was sold on eBay for ?350. I then instantly upgraded to;

1.83GHz Intel Core Duo

1Gb Ram

60Gb Hard drive

CD-RW

OS-X Tiger

My plans are to keep this book for a while longer, upgrade it to Tiger in October and continue to use it as my main notebook. When I feel like I require an upgrade this again will be passed onto my father and I will look to Apple.com to find out what options are available to me. This upgrade is scheduled to happen within the next 3-4yrs, so plenty of time for Apple to astound me.
