[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 635057, member: 24098"] Since Apple switched to the Intel x86 platform, the underlying hardware is identical to what you would find in a similarly high-end Windows-based laptop. The main difference is EFI, which is the next generation of BIOS. Boot Camp essentially mitigates that difference, so that you can run Windows natively. Mac OS X will do all of the basics that you listed - and if something comes up that you absolutely have to do in Windows, you can always run Windows. If anything, a Mac is the best of both worlds since it can run any major OS you want. [/QUOTE]
