[Dansta]

Do they now come with a dual boot as standard?

or is this an extra?

didnt realise.

Nah just OSX as standard.

You have to download and stick the Boot Camp beta on yourself to run Windoze.

Edit - Unless the specs have changed since I purchased my MBP.

You can use Bootcamp.. and it's a free download.

You just need to get a Windows XP licence.

(Bootcamp includes all the drivers etc, also..)

Macbook or Macbook Pro?

 

[CocoPops]

MacBook 2.0ghz
80gb HDD
2gb RAM

Couldn't stretch the extra £500 for the Pro.
Also, I quite like the portability of the smaller unit.

I'm going from a G4 1.25ghz Powerbook, so it is still an upgrade

Top stuff..

 

[CocoPops]

It's been shipped

On a flight somewhere from China about now!

If you got a black one, then get some speccy 48K stripes for it! (everytime I see pics of it I end up thinking that!)

Congratulations on the purchase
