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

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By Kravex · Posted

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
