Macbook air or pro?

Bootcamp is abit tricky to install given no superdrive, but it is possible.

I'd say Air except SSD @ 256Gb is a little small...

Use Sky Drive, USB Drives, External Hard Drives when at a desk or something for larger files/projects. Then store the essentials like notes on dropbox from their website and load them up once you get home or to another PC :)

128GB won't get used for me, i will only have Mac OS on, no dual boot (not yet anyway, solid mac for now) and then i will invest in more external storage options for my home desk and for carrying in my bag to uni.

:) Thats what i'd do anyway :)

You can install via USB stick. Boot Camp makes it for you along as you have the image file. Not hard at all and it's one of the best wizards I have saw ever! :)

Seems pretty good! Slowly getting to grips with Mac OS! (being a windows user all my life before). It does look amazing, and battery life is fantastic.

Will do the USB Key boot camp thing this weekend!

Office Mac in the apple store was £190 (for the Business Edition). It's cheaper for the Student one.

The MSDN account is a paid for service (my last job paid) that gave me serials for all Microsoft software. If you have an account, you can download it.

It's easy, most people on this forum should be able to follow the Windows 7 Boot Camp wizard along as they;

a) have a usb external drive
b) know how to make or already have a Windows 7 image file.

mp3duck, did you win a 42" LCD TV too? tango goodie bag? .....
