Hello, Mac-users
I have never owned a Macbook but I am thinking about purchasing one. Before I make this purchase I would need to know how smoothly the Macbook Pro 13" 2010 model will run Windows XP SP2 or even Windows 7.
Don't get me wrong, OS X seems like a great thing to have but I loathe change and would like to make it slow and steady. Therefore, I would use Windows as the primary OS on the Macbook Pro.
After some net-research I have gathered these few questions...
-How does a Windows OS effect the Battery life, would I be losing 30 mins. or 50% of my battery life?
-How well does the multi touch trackpad translate into Windows? Can I use the basic practical functions? (Two-finger scrolling, two-finger right-click, swiping to turn browser pages etc.)
-In your personal experience, what "hiccups" have you found in the hardware that are cumbersome, or even just annoying.
Because I am searching for the answers from people with the most first-hand experience, I must request that you refrain from posting an answer unless you have booted Windows XP SP2 or Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro 13" 2010.
