skymedic 0 #28 January 8, 2007 Quotewe do still have a PC laptop though...my wife is a realtor, and the MLS system and realtor online forms are pretty much PC oriented. you can access it through a mac, but it is a total hack job...and sloooooow. so be aware of what you will be using the mac for. In all modern (i.e. intel) macs you can install winblows if you absolutely must. You just have to boot into either one...or you can install paralells and just switch at will without any type of virtual PC action like previous macs. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....

TomAiello 26 #31 January 8, 2007 QuoteI watch a lot of Mac rumor sites and I've never seen one for a 13" MacBook Pro. Doesn't make sense to me as it seems they cut off the overlap they used to have between the consumer and pro lines when they introduced MacBook and MacBook Pro. Where did you see that rumor?? I've heard that particular rumor from some very knowledgable (read: their work address is on Infinite Loop in Cupertino) Mac folks I know.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murrays 0 #32 January 9, 2007 Tom, Do you have any other rumor info??-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murrays 0 #33 January 9, 2007 Well, the keynote is over and it was pretty much all iPhone.... which looks very cool but no light was shed on any of the MacBook related issues you were looking for help on. So, I guess the best advice is what stands on the MacRumors buyer's guide...it's a good time to buy because the line was just updated in November.
