    I'm not a big mac fan but I'm starting a new job and I had a choice between a mbp 15 and a dell lattitude E6530. I hate Dell laptops so I guess I'm going with the mac.

    Are there any must have accessories or apps I should get for it other than a mouse? I hate trackpads with a passion..

    If you need a password manager, 1password is an essential app.

    Oh man I love the Latitudes. Anyway I just bought a Mac for around the house use and I was wondering what things should I get for it as far as program/app wise and any tips I should know about?

    Never used this kind, but the henge docks (www.hengedocks.com) look pretty good for a MBP docking station.

    Worse thing that can happen is I install windows or linux on it if OS X drives me up the wall.
