yes....u can say that.....

but please bear in mind the bootcamp is still in beta mode...

so there will be a bit of flaws....like drivers and stuff...

Care to name a few?

I really want to get a macbook, especially when one only needs to pay RM400 for a 30GB iPod.

I don't think I have time to play games.........university, mana ada masa punya?

I need windows because I'm afraid that some softwares which I may want to use in my final years can only run on windows. So that's the problem. Maple and Matlab anyone?

Can we use pirated softwares on a mac? iLife and all don't come cheap.

university???.... dude... school's the best man... mana tak ade masa punya? hehehe...

Maple and Matlab tu apa?... some engineering or mathematical software ah?... to solve ur concern, get a macbook... install the bootcamp... use the mapkey.exe in the windows powertool to kautim the delete button... install ur matlab... install ur maple... do ur school work in it... for ur personal life, use OS X.. hehe...

iLife comes preinstalled... so no worries abt it being expensive... as for pirated stuff... erm... technically u can install them... BUT legally... no u can't... smile.gif

Mana ada masa untuk main game punya? Kalau ada masa pun pergi jalan-jalan. A waste to look oneself up in a room to play games when one should be out doing fun stuff.

I'm not doing AS so I may not necessarily need to use matlab or any other mathematical software, just want to be certain that if I need it, my macbook would be compatible.

A for pirated software. I can get them from lowyat right?

So basically I'm stuck with the sucky intel 950 GMA.... is it possible to change that to a dedicated graphics card?

Also this just came to mind. Let's say there are two remotes. Wont they interfere?

Edit : Does MSN messenger work with OSX? Or do i have to install a 3rd party software to run it?

dunno

dunno

yes, google msn messenger for mac. It's not as advanced as messenger for xp though.
