so it seems to pass the hardware reqs, but i wonder if i will get screwed some other way.

also how is the 11" air? because i used a 11" netbook once and it looked awful and you can barely see anything like the icons...

so how is it on the macbook air? and if its bad, can i lower the resolution to see things better?

what do you think?

thanks

been looking at some macbook pros on ebay, got a question,

1. if i buy one with OSX and windows 7 via bootcamp, can i nuke the Harddrive and install OSX fresh?

Yes, as long as you get the original disks with the machine if it has Snow Leopard or earlier on it. If it has Lion or Mountain Lion, you will need your own copy purchased from the Mac App store in order to install fresh. And in order to access the Mac App store you must be running at least Snow Leopard 10.6.6.

cool so if the mac has windows with bootcamp and i upgrade to snowleopard, then download mountain lion, how can i do mountain lion as a clean install? (meaning removing windows, bootcamp, everything and installing mountain lion like its brand new)

You would boot the machine from its recovery partition (assuming it has Lion on it) and erase the hard drive. Then while hooked up to a good internet connection, download and install Mountain Lion fresh.

You will also need to remove the Boot Camp partition first. You do that by using the Boot Camp assistant from OS X. Post back to this same thread when you're ready to do everything, and we can go over the details.
