Where to buy cute Macbook accessories?

Considering buying a macbook air 11inch 2011 version?

• i'm considering buying a macbook air. i have currently been doing a little bit of research. i live in Melbourne Australia and was wondering where i could buy the macbook air for a cheap price along with any NECESSARY accessories. i was also wondering if i would pay cash what type of discount i could possibly receive. i'm a high school student and need to buy a laptop i am not big on computers but have heard macs a very reliable, easy to use and fast. so for a person who is not good at computers and will only use them for day to day homework, email checking and itunes are they a good investment? so with the macbook air can you open, create and receive Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel and publisher without having to buy any accessories for the mac? i was also wondering what are the necessary accessories to buy. do i need apple protection plan, i life, i work or Microsoft for mac or any other accessory that will allow me to use the mac. (what i mean: do i need something like Microsoft but for macs to start my mac up or is all pre-installed onto the mac when i buy it.?) thank you for the help and sorry if my questions aren't very easy to understand.

• Answer:

  I reccomend buying a MacBook. MacBook air's are not worth paying for. You can get iWork for mac, to replace Office 2010.
