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

    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
