There are then at least two solutions that will allow you to run Windoze on the Mac if you need it - Apple's Bootcamp and Parallels virtual PC. As a Windows machine, the Macs are not going to set the heather alight - for example you can forget playing any Quake type games. However, you will get a well-specced and powerful Macintosh with the added bonus of being able to get screenshots for worksheets and the ability to run Windoze only software if you really need it. <BR/><BR/>However (and it pains me to say this) since your school is Windoze based, it might be easier just to go for a Windoze laptop. Partly it will depend on how much Windoze specific software you think you will need to run. If you think it will mostly be Microsoft Office and the Internet, the the Intel Macs will do the business. If the school uses a lot of Windoze specific stuff, it might be easier to go for a real Windoze laptop - let's face it, there are enough problems getting some programs to work under Windoze without throwing a virtual machine into the mix!<BR/><BR/>In the end though, you pay the money, so you have to make the choice! :-)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.com
