[QUOTE="fnp, post: 596747, member: 48718"] I'd like to get some realistic comments from everyone. I'm looking for a new laptop to use at work, and we are completely a PC/WinXP environment. I've been looking at Dell, but the laptops just don't appeal to me from a hardware standpoint. I'd like to use this new bootcamp feature and run my Macbook 100% of the time in WinXP mode. I don't have any OSX applications, so I don't have any use for it. I'm assuming that I just keep the OSX partition to a minimum. The following hardware needs to work in WinXP mode: Isight camera (via Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger) Ethernet (for company network) Airport wireless (for internet connection during travel) CDR/DVDR USB (for USB devices) Firewire (for video camera) Is there anybody out there using their Macbooks as a dedicated WinXP machine? Any suggestions? I'd like to hear also how you've partitioned your HD for space as well. [/QUOTE]
