I checked out a mac laptop from my school library, and not haveing a right click bothered me SOOO much. It seems like with a mac you always need to use two hands to browse around, whereas in my PC, i can just use my right hand...
That really turned me off, so I don't think I'll be switching anytime soon
with Mac laptops, you just tap the touchpad with two fingers instead of one to right click. on Mac desktops, you hold down the 'control' key and click regularly. i personally prefer the two-finger click to having to move my finger to the right mouse button, i think it's a lot more convenient when you get used to it. Macs have almost all the same functionality of a PC, you just have to give yourself the time to adjust and learn.
and Charles, i don't think there's any concrete reason that she's looking to get a new laptop. sometimes you're just ready for a change, ya know?
