Well I'm a bit outdated with Macs (never really bothered) but what processor is used in there, PowerPC?

 

[MacWorld]

They use intel.

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz (Nehalem core)

in my opinion im not going to buy a new mac as the prices are way too high,

 

[Cricketman]

Old news, expect more from you MacWorld .

Getting a macbook for college in about a year and a half, I absolutely love them.

 

[MacWorld]

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz (Nehalem core)

[MacWorld]

[Cricketman]

The new Shuffle seems pretty cool.

Does Mac support Windows? I cant live without Windows. I have heard a lot about the Mac, but if it doesnt have Windows, I am NOT BUYING IT!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can install Windows on all the new Macs using Boot Camp.

Macs are good. If someone gifts them to you that is!

And what's the point of buying a Mac when you want to install Windows? Inside its just like any other PC, infact might be worse.

 

[Cricketman]

Macs actually have been tested to run windows the best .

And OSX>>>>Windows.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Wouldn't want to debate on OSX > Windows (as I haven't used OSX tbh).

But the fact that Macs can run windows better is rubbish lol.

lol Yet there's no Core 2 Duo with a nehalem core.
