What programs does the Macbook Pro come with?
like does it come with any video editing programs and webcam programs or anything like what comes on a PC or do you have to buy it all when you buy your Mac? Do you get any programs free?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" and I love it. It comes with 'FaceTime' which is like skype but for people with Mac products. You can download skype, msn and other things like that off the net for free. It also comes with iMovie, Photo Booth and an image editor, but all of these aren't super amazing programs. Fun to play around with and pretty similar to programs you'd have already installed on a PC, but if you want something more professional you'll probably have to buy it off the AppStore. There's an AppStore program already installed on Macbook Pros, so you can go straight on there and search for things you want. If you don't want to give your credit card details away, you can purchase an iTunes gift card and use the money from that to buy apps + music on iTunes.
It comes with programs like 'notes' that's on PC, but you will have to pay to buy programs like Word, Excel, Powerpoint...etc. I wouldn't suggest buying these for the Macbook because it takes up too much space and causes lagging. I got 'Pages' which is just like MicroWord for about $20 on the AppStore. ALSOO, if you want to see what programs you can get from the AppStore, I'm pretty sure you can look at it from the Apple website.
It comes with some other things like GarageBand which is a music editing/creating program, and rudimentary programs like iTunes, QuickTime, Dvd playing program...etc. It also has an inbuilt virus checking software so you don't need to install anything or do scans (well, that's what Apple told me anyway). You will need to download things like Java, Adobe reader, Flash player and things like that though.
Honestly, the only downfall I have with the Macbook pro is that installing the Micro Office products takes up too much space, but I only really need Pages anyway for Uni. And I have a desktop with all of that on it anyway.
