i was just wondering like with a mac do you guys still yuse windows? im thinking of getting a mac as a laptop for school purposes and using my old pc in my room for maybe downloading and stuff.

and yeah how many people here use macbook pro? im now thinking wether the mac book is good enuf for me? more for school purposes with some gaming and media stuff.

Seeing as the MacBook Pro just got its specifications bumped up, you might as well go for that. Gaming? The MacBook isn't going to hold up to the latest and greatest. If you're running games that are two or three years old, go for it. I intend to go for a dual-boot machine once I get my MBP.

My reasons for using Windows are:

1. Compatibility with Microsoft. Either at work with an Exchange server (although Entourage for Mac works very well as long as your Exchange server runs the 2003 version). Also for compatibility with Miicrosoft Windows Mobile (although PocketMac and TheMissingSyncPPC are 3rd party add-ons that require additional funding).

2. Games. At present I'm playing Company of Heroes and Battlefield2142. Mac gaming even with the right gaming hardware is pretty dismal.

To me those are pretty compelling reasons to keep two computers on my desk. That and a weakness for 733t hardware.

i ditch windows 3 years ago when i switch to mac, but as like macdanife said mac gaming is dismal so sometime i play games on my brother pc

why don't try play games on mac with bootcamp? i actually plan to get a macbook pro with core 2 duo. but i'm addicted to lineage II now.. any ideas? i saw a friend of mine playing lineage II on his mac mini (core solo), and it's pretty good. i wonder how good it would be in macbook pro. anyone tries this b4?

I need Windows to test my web designs. They
tend to look slightly different on a Mac.
