its called a macbook and the cheapest place is apple refurb store

im using mine on windows typing this

paid 599 7 months ago for a core 2 duo 2ghz, 1gb ram, 120gb hd, dvdr superdrive etc plus the standard years warranty

forgot to add though, prices vary loads of the refurb store and what they do have doesnt stay there for long, keep checking back...

i looked recently and they are more expensive for lesser systems

Cool thanks! I thought that was the name... I would like a black one bt its more expensive just for the colour difference!!

yeah mines white, black was 100 more when i got this, thought that was a bit much...

Why would you want to run Windows on a Mac when you can have Mac OSX?

Is it because you have never used Mac OSX before? I'm a mac owner too, have been for the last 6 months and at first i was a little scared of converting to a Mac user when I had been a Windows user ever since school when they were running Windows 3.1 on 386's.

After about 1 month of using Windows and Mac OSX now and then getting to grips with it, I am now 100% converted and am absolutely loving it and will never go back to Windows (unless of course they do something amazing), but at the moment, i believe about are about 2 years ahead of Windows technology wise.

If you want Windows on your Mac then go for a Mac with Leopard as it's easy to get Windows installed. There's always Tiger too on mac's which are pre-november 2007 where you need some free software off the apple website called Boot Camp.

Boot camp is no longer available stand alone, it was only available as a beta prior to release of Leopard as it's actually a leopard feature.
