If you are now using a PC and you do play some games then I suggest you stick with a PC. Mac's, especially there notebook line and especially the 13" MBP, are not really meant to play games.

Don't know about any of the other thing you asked. Don't use a keyboard cover. I don't spill stuff on any of my computers or other electronics devices.

Good luck in your decision.

Macbook Pro is not a laptop and should not be used as one. It is a "notebook."

Rukira --

Do you have an Apple Store, or certified reseller on the Bahmas? If so, I suggest you go try the Mac out, and see what you think. If your absolutely most importat issue is gaming, then you're probably better off with a PC.

With a MBP, you do not have the change the battery every year.

I'm assuming you're a yount person, and I give you a lot of credit for being so careful with spending your mother's hard earned money. At this point in your life, and living on an island with no Apple Store, I might recommend that you stick with a PC until you're almost college age.

Our site here is made up of volunteer Mac users, who usually come here to actually help people seeking support. Please don't take your early responses here as typical. There are lots of really nice people here who don't feel the need to make new posters feel like they're asking stupid questions, or are ill-informed,and don't know the perfect words to use. Every person started out with their first computers, not understanding lots of stuff.

Ask around, maybe, and see if there's a friend or relative near you who has a Mac you can try first.

All the best --

If you do have one store there, I would recommend you go over and check out the Macs. By the time you're thinking of college or entering the workforce, a Mac will be perfect. It's good for gaming, but that's not what they're known for. All the best to you Rukira.

Yea I know what Things mac can do, as i said I wont not be spending money jsut on a laptop that plays game But I said on the side I love to play soical games like SecondLife or so. I know Macbook Aren't designed for games but I Just found out that the game i want to play it could . Mac is an all purpose laptop But I want to try somehting new and try to do other things insead of gaming Im trying to designed 3D avatars picture which is very good caused You can create clothes ect So I know Mac has already bulid a program for that so it makes since to get a mac and its the fastes notebook ever and Secondlife and IMVu to me its not a hardcore game which requires lots of ram and so on.

So I think that Macbook Could be notebook to try out and I have used one before in a camp to register the Children Info and so On. But I really loved how Mac is bulid and very cool caused you have more cases and protction than a regular Pc thats why I would go with a Mac so yea I know its not for games but my games which could paly on everything its not a problem with the notebook caused I have watch some youtube vidoes on it and persons aid it runs smooth. So great enough for me and Im not a huge game freak like others who would spend money jsut for games Im not a child like that i love paly games but loves to learn to do others so I hope you understand what im saying here And thanks for your Help its was a plesure.

In ALL Honesty there is Nothing a Mac can do that a Windows PC can Not do. They both do the exact same things.

One is no better or worse then the other.

This whole thing about how Mac's do more then Windows is a Lie. Apple knows that. That is why they write programs that work on PCs, iTunes and even iCloud for Windows.

The one thing Windows has going for it is there are all kinds of programs for Windows, for everything, and many choices.
