Guess what? you can have everything you want.<br>
<br>
I got a MacBook Pro in 2008. That was during Windows Vista days and
I just didn't want to get involved with it. What I was originally
looking for was a PC that could run a dual environment: one Vista,
one XP. I spent hours, at Best Buy, while they tried to find the PC
that could do it. They were still looking when a sales associate
came up and whispered "go to a Mac store. They've been doing this
for years.<br>
<br>
It's true that they can do this. You will need two things: your
boxed version of the Windows operating system, so they know that you
bought it and a thick spin when the Mac guy says: sure I can install
a dual environment, they call it Boot Camp btw, with a slight sneer.
At this point you have already bought the Mac but I would recommend
not even leaving the store with it. Come prepared with your discs.<br>
<br>
It will cost you more, by which I mean the Mac and the PC, there
might be a small charge for installing Boot Camp, I don't remember.
I had my partition set at 75% Windows/25% Mac. That has worked well
so far. I am entering my 3rd year of this arrangement and the only
failure I have had has been on the PC side, when my Sound Card
mysteriously disappeared. <br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

<div>With that crash---I'm fed up with Dells and am looking for a

<div>Are there any drawbacks or advantages that I should be aware
of before purchasing a MacBook? It's nervy to switch to a
Mac, being a PC so long, but after 5 Dell computers---and poor
computer quality, I'm wavering from the whole PC thing

<div>Would appreciate advice, notes or recommendations on a new,
good laptop that will run eQuest with little issues...</div>
