Hi I'm new here. I currently have a Acer laptop running windows 7 and looking to get my first Mac laptop. Can anyone make suggestions or recommendations. I have three must haves if I switch. First I am a loyal firefox user. I think thats available on mac. Second my bookmarks are all on delicious. And lastly I have to be able to run Microsoft office for work. I've used windows all my life but I just cannot stand the upcoming windows 8 so I thought I'd check out a Mac. Ive heard its much easier to use.

Thanks, Shaughn

All of your must-haves are met. Without knowing more about your requirements and desires it's difficult to make a recommendation among the range of current and recent models. Size/weight, budget, ports, user maintainability, general productivity vs digital media editing, ....

... by any Mac laptop. We'll need to know a bit more: what are your requirements or constraints in terms of screen size, screen resolution, weight, budget, and the other things that distinguish one laptop from another for any OS?

You might want to visit a store that sells Mac laptops and look at a few models. I suggest an Apple store if there's one near you, since they tend to have everything on display and don't mind tire-kickers, but many independent stores are fine also.
