True, haven't really thought about needing an optical drive. I do get
the occasional music CD but I purchase most things online via electronic
download then burn them to CD/DVD at a later date. So yes, an optical
drive would be nice but if not I could always purchase an external one.

The Mac can do all you want with flying colors, it comes down to what
exactly you want in a Mac. you said a laptop so it then comes down to if
you want an optical drive or not really.

Subject: Switching to a mac
Hello all.
Well, I have been using the other operating system PCs since 1997, and
it's time I now fancy a change of scenary. So in the future I am
considering switching to a mac. It should allow me to do the following:
1. Browse websites such as Facebook.
2. Manage my e-mail.
3. Listen to and manage music.
4. Buy music from iTunes or other online stores like Play.com.
5. Do a very small amount of Word Processing, and I mean very small,
with hardly any formatting or other complex requirements.
I am looking into a laptop style mac.
6. I am willing to use the other operating system where necessary,
either via bootcamp or a VM. So no issues there on that front.
I am going to take my time with this research, so please comment with
no rush necessary.
Again, I just fancy a change since I have been using Windows PCs since
1997. It kind of also makes sense since I have both an iPhone and iPod
Touch.
Thanks for any comments, good or bad, on this. It will be much
appreciated.
