[QUOTE="RCh, post: 367580, member: 29743"] Thanks for reply, cramar! Well, I didn't mention that but wireless keyboard & mouse are on the list even if I go for an iMac, because the ultimate goal is to have it as portable as possible, which also means getting rid of any extra cords wherever possible. For the monitor - I think I could live with 13". Regarding Windows... what I really meant is that I've read numerous reports (also on these forums) about partial compatibility of the Apple notebook-specific hardware with Windows. I believe there are issues with touchpad, bluetooth, wireless, iSight, you name it :) I'm sure it will be fixed some day, since it's merely a proper drivers issue, however, I wouldn't rely on that too much... From the other hand, it all work almost perfect on the iMacs, or so I read. Please, correct me if I'm wrong here. Another consideration is the size of the hard drive. I can easily allocate some 40 Gb (out of 160 or even 250) of HD space for Windows partition. Doing the same on a 80/100 Gb hard drive would make my heart bleed :)) [/QUOTE]
