[QUOTE="Ctrl-Opt-Del, post: 1360811, member: 215112"] I'm on the brink of doing the same. I've got a laptop (from a certain brand that Apple just over-took as top "PC" manufacturer) which should - by the specs - be an absolute beast of a machine, but in practice is slow as treacle in mid winter, and both the internal webcam & the USB 3.0 ports stopped working (just disappeared completely from the Device Manager) the first time I used the manufacturer's proprietary driver update utility (needless to say, I've not used it since; updating drivers manually & relying on Windows Update for security patches)... I still need Windows for my university course, but I'm thinking I'm gonna buy a MacBook Pro (when I can afford it) & Boot Camp it... Even if I mainly use the MBP as a "PC", booted into Windows by default, I'm sure it'll still be a far superior PC than the one I have at the moment! :Not-Amused: [/QUOTE]
