What do you use YOUR macbook for?

Not really, I work at best buy and sell Vista laptops all day.

I not much of a fan of Macbooks, but I hate Dell because the laptop I bought off them had 2GB of RAM, and now 1GB of it doesn't work because of a memory module failure!! GRR - Lol.

Doesnt make you not biased against them I could sell both the xbox 360 and the ps3 and still prefer the 360 to them

I went to a Microsoft developers convention for work and believe it or not the machine that they were using to demo their brand new sofware (sliverlight, beofore it had been released) was a macbook with Vista on!

I hate dell almost as much as I hate apple....

Okay, just because everyone else is being vague and saying "everything" or recommending other computers, I'll actually say what I do with my MacBook 13".

I use my Macbook as my main computer, because I don't have a desktop that was made after 1999. It works very well, and I bought a small STM shoulder bag for it so I can take it places. I don't bring it EVERYWHERE with me (usually not to school) but when I'm at home I use it for hours. Some specific things I do:

1. Media - holds all my music/tv shows/movies
2. School - iWork for presentations and essays etc.
3. Games - I mostly play Call of Duty 2 online, which runs flawlessly.
4. Organization - iCal + Address Book = very handy way to stay organized. I also use an app called Aurora (freeware) for my iTunes-integrated alarm clock.
5. Communication - iChat, Skype, Mail.app, Firefox.
6. Web development - CyberDuck/Transmit for FTP, GarageBand for podcasting

And in general, though it does sound cliché, I really do use my Macbook for EVERYTHING. I'm on it probably an average of seven hours per day. There are just so many applications I use to make things generally easier.

By the way, here's my general Macbook/OSX setup: Click

Any questions, shoot me an email or PM.

If i had the money for one, i'd probably buy one and make a website out of it. Then film me blowing it up or smashing it into pieces. It'd be like that smashmyps3 site or whatever they do. I think it'd be pretty fun to experiment . Otherwise i have no use for it, i'll just use some old computer that runs the same (as long as we got some good internet).
