Considering that white is the color associated with apple, I assume Apple is the white side while PC is the dark side......anyhow, onto the reason I am posting.
I am a long time PC user. I have been a Window's junkie since pre 3.1 days. So I grew up anti-apple, and have advocated such since then. My PC laptop just recently got stolen and I am looking into purchasing a new laptop. I must use an alias from this point on because I am contemplating buying a Macbook. In doing so, I can't cut the umbilical cord just yet, I would be installing a dual OS and running Windows, and probably use both OSes 50/50.
I posted this on a predominantly PC forum and got bashed, as expected..but very few could give me reason why not to. So I now look to you all to convince me it is a good idea.
Some concerns and questions I have. I do not play that many games, as I use my desktop predominantly for that. But when I the road, stuck in an airport, I like to kick back with some WoW. I am not asking for a smooth running Warcraft, just a playable one. Can the Macbook accomplish this?
Next question, I hear rumors of the next generation Macbook that will have a buffed up graphic system? When did the current Macbook come out? Any further rumors on newer version?
Lastly, I am under a little bit of a time constraint since my previous laptop was stolen and I am now laptop-less. If I purchase one now, and Leopard comes out in 2 months, is there any upgrade plan? Someone once told me that they offer free upgrades to recently purchased laptops, any truth to this? And define recently purchased.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
