hello i just bought a macbook pro. I switched to the mac after many years with pc. I have some questions/concerns:
1. When I used to surf on the internet with windows XP, the website pages were wider, fuller, and larger (including the text and images). Why is it different with the mac system? Would it also happen and if I were to install Windows, would that solve the problem?
2. What would you recommend for someone who doesn't get along with a mac and would like to use Windows XP all the time? Would it be okay if I have the latest version of boot-camp of the leopard system? Would it be the same as if it were running on a PC?
3.i bought the computer 1 week ago for 1800 dollars after the student discount if i see that i dont get along with the mac would you reommend to bring it back and pay 200 $ fee + i am not american and i pay on internetional credit card so my tottal lost would be 300 dollars... and take a pc laptop for 1500 dollars?
tnx alot for your help !

1) I think its your resolution...your old computer/monitor probably had a low resolution, making everything look big, while the MacBook Pro has a higher resolution and makes everything fit in a smaller area.
2) Yeah, if you use Boot Camp, you're basically running a Windows PC. However, I don't think its the best idea financially to buy a Mac for running Windows full time, if that's what you're doing.
3) I guess if you don't like the Mac, then keep it anyway and just use it as a Windows machine...losing $300 is pretty steep for a perfectly fine notebook, so I'd just keep it. However, I'd note that sometimes it takes more than a week for you to really get used to a brand new operating system, so you might not be used to it yet by the end of the week. I'd suggest giving it more time. -
i think that my main problem is the higher resolution screen..
i tought that its suppose to be better but everything look smaller to me...
and there souldnt be any problem to run windows all the time? -
There isn't a problem with bootcamping all the time, but it does beg the question why you purchased a MBP.
-
Yeah, there won't be a problem.
And everything looks smaller, but that also means you can fit more in the same screen space, because of the higher resolution. So instead of just one window, you may be able to fit two windows side-by-side. -
But I agree with Sam for the most part. -
While boot-camping all the time does throw in the question of why a person gets a mac in a financial kind of sense, it does make sense in the performance arena. Take for example the revelations on Mac's being one of the best performers when running Windows Vista. My MBP for example scores a magnificant 4.8 base score in the windows experience index. Is there some compilation of computer manufacturers posting their scores when running Vista?

The Asus G1s-A1 is pretty much the PC equivalent to a MBP. Saying a MBP is (or was) the fastest Vista computer was just some journalist trying out sensationalism. It's pretty much "Wow, really? The MBP is faster than that $599 Compaq at Best Buy?! NO WAI".
