Hi espn, how's the ibook giving out for this promotion? speed compare to pc? Never use wireless before so wonder do i need to purchase any additional item for using it since they already giving away the wireless modem?
Point is.. Is Mac user friendly?:sweatsm:
The speed is average, I won't say slow, but very good for normal usage, I didn't find my iBook slow when I had it, the speed is slow in starting, but the programs run fast without any complains. Also, nobody shuts down the iBook at all, just close the lid and it goes into sleep mode, can move it around like in a haversack, etc. It drains very minimal battery and it's always ready when you just open the lid.
The wireless - Airport Extreme, is built-in into the iBook, it's just like a wireless card that connects PC notebooks to the network. If your home network is set to broadcast SSID and uses no WEP encryption, a simple "Turn On AirPort" click on the icon will set your iBook connecting to home network. Even for my network which I disabled broadcasting of SSID and 128Bit WEP, it's still very much easy to configure, took me 5minutes to connect to my network.
For a precise match against PC vs Mac -
http://www.apple.com/switch, you'll find that most software on PC can be found on Mac, and more. If you ask me user friendly, I'd say yes.
