Hi,
I'm currently in the process of changing from a desktop pc set-up to a laptop, and have been looking at the mac book pro. But i've got a few questions.
1) Dual booting. I understand that you can dual boot the apples nowadays. This got me wondering if there are any limitations to running xp on the apple hardware or is it all 100% compatible. If so, whats stopping people buying a copy of osx and installing it on a non-apple laptop?
2) Is it best to buy direct from apple? or through one of the resellers? is one cheaper?
3) Screen size. Are the resolutions of the 15 and 17'' the same? what are they? is one supposedly a better screen than the other? or purely personal preference.
4) Screen finish. I believe you can get both a glossy and matt finish for the screen. Which is regarded as the best chioce? and why?
Cheers.
