Macbook Air

I quite like the keypad tho it does take some practice.  I want to add windows 7 but may wait for the arrival of windows 8.  I got 128gb so should have a bit to play with.  The damn thing is mega quick unlike my last laptop which at the time was the bees knees.  Still finding my way around but love launch control, in fact there is nothing not to love really

Not sure why you need windows on there TBH, I was glad to see the back of windows I tried it on my MBP and it didn't like at all.

The fact lots of people are buying Apple machines and sticking Windows on them says a lot, I've had to do it for a few people already

that's why macs have become an option for many people. If they don't like OSX then they can go back to windows with not fuss. Best of both worlds, an operating system they are familiar with in a computer that looks better than most.

Would you not want to try OSX first to see if you like it 

Whats the point in paying double the price for a machine.. only for it to do what a normal PC could do for half the price??

I would say more than half the people who buy macs get them because of the apple fad. the rest most possibly need them

Virus's and anti virus programs slows windows down, Never had an issue regarding these problems with Macs

I'm sure the 700,000+ other Mac users also said that

I've never had a virus in 17 years of owning a Microsoft computer.


and remember kids, PC's don't get Mac viruses!

eaxctly... despite windows being far from perfect, i havent suffered any viruses either.

Same, I've always been careful with what I download!

On another note, I ordered a 500GB Hybrid SATA/SSD hard drive today; basically a 500GB drive with 4GB of NAND storage.  It monitors your habits and pre-loads the NAND memory with the things you're most likely to use.  In tests it's almost as fast as an SSD and spanks any normal disc drive.

I'm going to pop it into a USB 3 caddy, should be seriously fast!

back in the day I had a bout of blaster worm but that was easily resolved. Not sure a Worm can be classified as a virus, I get so confused with virus, trojan and worms.
