[quote=Anonymous]Microsoft Office is available for Mac, either subscription or purchase outright as one prefers. File formats for MS Office applications are interoperable between Office for Windows and Office for Mac. MacOS is UNIX (fyi - LINUX is also a kind of UNIX) under the hood, so it also is very suitable for programming if they happen to take a CS class. Mac is NOT a good gaming computer. There are many more games available for Windows than for a Mac. Ask if they would be happy with a MacBook Neo. It is good enough for high school users (but is not a work laptop). It is lower cost but still Apple quality at about $600. It has 8 GB of memory, but MacOS is memory efficient so that is good enough for home/school (for a work laptop with huge spreadsheets then 16GB would be better). [/quote]
