I'm getting a Macbook for Christmas (PC user)?

Nothing much you need to know. Use an external hard drive to transfer your files then use that with Time Machine to keep your backups. Other than that it's really just another PC with a really good OS on it.

Enjoy your Mac. The best Mac you own is always your first.

I too was a PC user that switched to Mac. The change took about a week to get use to, but I wouldn't trade my macbook for ANY PC now. Im pretty sure the Linksy's router will work with a Mac.

Your router will work fine with a mac. You will have to get used to the different operating system, but that will only take a couple of days. You will also have to get used to fantastic graphics, superb sound and an end to hundreds of pointless and useless updates.

I got a mac 3 years ago and can't imagine going back to a windows machine. I am not saying pc's are bad... they aren't. It's just that for creating and controlling media... mac's are the only serious choice.

Yes, there are a few things to know before switching over. First, you will be paying waaaay too much money for a computer. For the price you (or family member) pay for a macbook, you can get a top of the line gaming laptop. Plus, there is far more software available for windows (including games) than for mac.

And yes, the mac will be able to connect to the router with no problems.
