That sums up the hardware part of MacBooks. Now, let’s talk about the software that these wonderful laptops have. I’m going to talk in general about what these MacBooks have. MacBooks come with great software like iTunes, iPhoto, iChat, FaceTime, iMovie, Garage Band and many more!
I would love to explain what exactly each of these software programs is, but it would take up too much space. But I can sum them up in one word: Awesome!

Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the most advanced operating system in the world and together with the mentioned applications, it gives you a product that is worth every penny spent on it. Oh, did I mention that all MacBooks come with a 3-year warranty? Who gives you a 3 year warranty these days?
