[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 464992, member: 2960"] That is exactly what Boot Camp and Parallels are made for... the [I][U]occasional[/U][/I] need to run Windows apps. Despite popular opinion, they were neither developed nor intended for running the Windows OS the majority of the time. If you have one or two Windows programs that you absolutely need to run, then use them. However, if you need to run Windows for more than say 10% of your computing needs, then a Windows computer would be needed. It almost sounds like you meet that criteria and that a Windows machine would be your best bet, though. The Office apps can be replaced with Mac-friendly versions, but the rest probably can't. If I were you, I would double check the school/course requirements for computing hardware and see if it indeed calls for a Windows computer. [/QUOTE]
