Hey guys, i a have never used a mac before.
but now since it can support windows... i thought i might as well have the best of both worlds.
Juz some questions.
Can i run ALL sorts of windows programs on a macbookpro when i start up using windows?
like microsoft office, limewire, bittorent and stuff?
halflife 2 etc....
i am a student.. what do u think about the mac os? is it easy to use or what?

and yeah.... how heavy are these macbook pros?
will there be like a 12inch or lighter than 2.2kgs in da future? -
Lol,I'm going to do stuff the other way round

The MacBook Pro is one of the lightest 15" notebooks available on the market today, being only 5.6 pounds.
There won't be 17" and 12" MBPs until later on - I'm guessing around the release of Merom, when the whole line will be updated. However, if you can wait until June, you might want to look at getting an Intel based iBook, which will have the same capabilities as the MPB.
If you can get Windows running on the MBP, yes, you will be able to do anything a Windows notebook would be able to do. However, there have been a GPU powerloss when compared to similar Windows counterparts. -

Btw, whats the diff between a MBP, powerbook and an ibook?
MBP are currently the ones with intel processors right? -
(trust me, I didn't have a clue about Macs either until I got an iMac).
Currently, the only Intel-based notebooks offered by Apple are the MacBook Pro. The Intel-based iBooks should be comming out sometime this June and should be able to dual-boot Mac and Windows. It also should be noted that iBooks in general have slower and not as powerful hardware as the MBP line or the PowerBook line. Apple's PowerBook line is it's older notebook line based of the G4 CPU - these notebooks are going to probably be put to rest sometime in the near future and will be replaced by the MBP line, so I recommend not to get one. -
My cousin has it on his G4 ibook.

hmmm i think i will wait for the 13 inch macbooks coming soon
am i right? -
there's a 13.3" widescreen(?) iBook coming out in June, I believe.
