I'm an IT student and most of my work is on windows but I really love mac so my question is should I buy a Mac and install windows? Will it run like a real windows and I get to access everything?
'cause the idea of having two laptops is just stupid.

Firstly, you can fully install Windows onto a Mac.



You can either use Boot Camp, which allows you to choose whether you want to boot up Windows or OSX when you turn on your computer. Or, you can use VMWare or Parallels (about $80) to run Windows and Mac Applications side by side.

Hello



Doing that is an easy process. You just need to use Boot Camp. You can find instructions online.



Personally, I wouldn't do that. If you want Windows, buy a Windows computer. If you want a Mac, stick to a Mac.
