So...I recently got my new MacBook and i know ABSOLUTELY nothing about this thing  I have had a PC for so long, but just really wanted a Mac instead. So help me out here because you all seem so knowledgable. Is 1 GB enough to hold all my pictures from my old computer?? I feel like this is such a stupid question, but when I check my old computer it says that my pictures take up 2.13 GB. Is this the same thing? That would be upsetting to me if my Mac cannot even hold my pictures. If someone could help me out or even offer a solution if this is the case it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

I think you are confusing RAM and hard drive space. The stock MacBook comes with 1GB of RAM. This is the computers memory. The hard drive is 80 or 120 GB. This is the computers storage space. Both are measured in GB. Your pix apparently need 2.13 Gb of storage space, and your MacBook hard drive will have plenty of room.

The difference between hard disk and RAM is akin to the difference between a filing cabinet and the desk space you have to work in.
Your documents are stored in the filing cabinet (hard disk - 80, 120, or 160 GB on your MacBook), but you pull them out and work on them using various utensils on the desktop (RAM - 1 GB standard on your MacBook). Larger deskspace (more RAM) makes it easier to work with larger documents or with multiple documents at the same time.

Click on the Finder - the smile face type icon on the bottom left, it should give you a window that will tell you how much space you have available.

Another way to check is to click on the blue apple in the upper left hand corner of the screen and choose About this Mac. Click on More Info... That will open the System Profiler (also available in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder). That will give you access to all of the specs for your machine.
