I like how their laptops are small and their design is better then most of the intel based ones out there right now...thats the only reason i'd get a mac right now... but i'd want to use windows and mac os x personally...

Yeah I love the style of Apple Laptops. I'm using one now, and it's awsome. Im just getting to learn OSX. It seems really nice so far, this is the first time I've ever used it for more than 5 mins. It has a low learning curve, not that that matters much for me.

This EFI news is awsome news. The ablility to dual-boot with OSX and Vista makes me wet. I could throw linux on there, too for good measuer. This news really makes me want to get a 13" Macbook now, I just hope that it has at least an X1300 GPU and an upgrade to a Core Duo. I really want a dual core laptop.

the only thing i hate about apple laptops is the ports being on the side... i dont like seeing cords... i'd rather have them on the back, but then that destroy's apples screen hing design, but not like they cant change that...

Who would buy a macbook and want to install a Windows OS? I'm a Windows user through and through, but if I bought a mac, there's only one OS I'd be running on it and it sure as hell isn't Windows.

*raises hand* I would. And I'm sure plenty of others would as well.

If I bought a Mac, that would be my first venture into the world of the Macs, and while Macs may have all the alternative software one could ever want, I still do programming on Windows and so I need Windows on my laptop one way or another. The option to dual boot Windows on a Mac is just a must have for me because I'd have a kick ass Mac (stylish, powerful, Mac) with the added bonus of not missing out on my tried and true computer world of Windows.

I have been using Mac's since System 6 and even though I love them gaming is teh suck......so yeah if there was a way I could get Vista on my Apple I would love it.....there is also some software I use at work that has no alternative in the OSX world....and because of that I have to keep a window computer handy incase I need to do something for work at home...so I would love to get rid of my PC since all I use it for is games and work sometimes...other than that it just sits

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature

      By Fleet Command · Posted

      No. The file manager is a lost cause. After all, its dev receives all the undeserved praise he could evre wish from Neowin, without having actually earned it. This has never lead to improvements.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      I know I won't ever be using it to make my game. I'd rather pay humans.

      By thartist · Posted

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
