Have anyone tried to install windows on macbook?
What gpu come with it?
I m interrest by macbook 13" for the price! cheaper than a sony SZ for same specs.

GPU is the Intel GMA 950.

realy mac cheaper thant sony?? that's odd but i guess sony's are are still fairly expensive, try acer travelmate 8200 has a nvidia card and mostlikely cheaper.

I also have a sz160 and it's a fact that the MB is cheaper than a sz. But they do not share all of the same features. The MB is missing a pcmcia slot, express card slot, any type of memory card reader, no finger print scanner, noticably heavier, not a dual layer burner, smaller hdd, and no hard drive protection (I think I listed everything).
But I still think the MB is a pretty good value. It has a really nice screen as well as the ability to dual boot. -

I have it on a macbook too. xp works great, just that you need to carry around a usb mouse when you want to use right click for windows. also it crashes when you try to use the built in webcam.

i'm really wondering if i should buy a macbook (i really like it)
i currently own a sz
[even if i buy a macbook, it'll be a few months from now because i'm getting into a uni in america, and i want to student benefits xD]
but jus wondering... about when will the macbook price.. drop? (or will it?) -
I don't have that problem with the cam. -
Windows works fine on the Macbook.
I installed it a few days ago. Bluetooth works on my MB. You might try reinstalling the drivers. Go to the link below to download an app that will fix the keyboard mapping issues. You'll be able to map a right mouse key, the lcd brightness, sound, etc to the function keys all automatically. Works really well. The only thing that doesn't work is the webcam and the speakers do not turn off when headphones are plugged in. The will all be taken care of when Apple releases a final version of Bootcamp.

If you want to run WIndows full time I would probably get a Windows laptop, not a mac. Bootcamp is cool, but it seems to be something for when you need windows once in a while not everyday.

Ooops, probably the most significant difference. And it's 1 lb lighter.

I have a Sony SZ, and a Macbook as well.
For all those considering the two against one another, you should keep these factors in mind: The Sony SZ is over a pound lighter, has a dedicated graphics card which means it should support windows vista aero graphics which the Macbook will not be able to support. And also my Sony SZ has a 100Gb hard drive, while the Macbook comes with just a 60GB which isn't much for running 2 operating systems on. So why do i have both? I need Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro for school and work.
Hope this helps! -
I guess he also forgot to add the cost of a Windows license, in case of buying the MacBook.

BTW, you can config the MB with a large hard drive and the black actually comes with an 80 GB drive.
