I need to buy a new one..but
Hi,
I intend to buy a new Apple Mac labtop. As a new user I have no idea about:
1. How to get the softwares, Will I have to buy original softwares only?
2. Will I find All the softwares I'll need for programming?
3. Do you have any idea about MacBook Pro?
4. Does it fully support Arabic language?
actually, I feel everything is so easy with PC but I need more powerful machine for coding and graphic designing. So I thought that Apple would help me much more than PC.
Regards,

I know for a fact that you can add an Arabic Keyboard Layout. Same as what you would do to add an Arabic Keyboard Layout. Although I had a problem with the Arabic font having minimal white spaces between each letter. In other words, it's not perfect cursive.

Actually I'm a PHP, Ajax,MySQL, programmer. However, you much pretty know that Arabic is the core issue in my buiseness. I'm really cofused, in one hand I'm looking for a perfect laptop and honestly I couldn't find that in PC. In another hand, softwares, language support is another point I have to take into consideration before I take this step.
Are you an apple user? How did you find it so far? What do you use it for?

So one question that you'll have to get answered is... are there Mac versions of the programs you want to run, or are you willing to run Windows XP or Vista under a VM or bootcamp.
You can buy software for the Mac from any regular software outlet
I don't believe that OS X has support for arabic
