The new macbook will do fine. You don't need a macbook pro. If I didn't
need windows for my job, I wouldn't be using it because I can scan and
word
process etcettera just fine. The only thing that hands me up is some web
sites. I can't get the Mac to see my victor reader stream but I can use a
card reader so that's not a big issue.

Hey girls and guys
Hope you are all doing well. I have a bit of a situation and I wouldn't
mind
some thoughts if you have the time.
I am moving onto campus for uni next year, meaning my imac is staying at
home, and my laptop is going to uni. The only thing is my laptop is a PC
and
I can not live without a mac (can you say material girl?). I really only
use
the PC for Jaws and zoomtext when voiceover and the mac can't do something
I
need (like OCR - i hate the software you can get for OCR on a mac) and a
few
other things. So I am on my mac the majority of the time.
The thing is I don't like living without either of the operating systems,
so
I thought, why not upgrade to a new macbook and do the bootcamp thing.
I am wondering - would the low end macbook model be able to cope with
widnows and potentially run zoomtext and JAWS at the same time, plus any
other applications I should need at the same time? (I mean the low end
aluminium one, not the white one by the way). Or should I just get the top
end one?
I'm kind of thinking about a macbook pro. It has the potential to cope, as
well as last forever if I need it to, but gosh its a big wod of money.
Thoughts anyone?
