Talk to me about Macbooks

Postby GodlikeRoy » Thu Mar 06, 2008 8:32 pm

So I'm looking at getting a new laptop and am really loving the look of the new Macbook Pro series. I've never owned a macbook (nor known anyone who has actually) but they look really cool and I want something pretty light but that also can have a 17" screen.

What I want to know..

Can you run windows on them? If so, how?

What kind of extras should I look out for?

Are there coupons or deals available for them like there are with dell laptops?

Anything else I should know about them?



Thanks

Here are some instructions:

It should not be too hard for someone who is capable of reinstalling windows on a windows laptop. Very similar process.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

you can run XP with Bootcamp or VMware or something like that. Bootcamp you choose which to boot to, the other you can run simultaniously.
