Hey I am thinking of buying a macbook pro in the near future. I just have a few questions... okay I here I go Is booting into windows using bootcamp, booting natively into windows or not. I hope I've asked that correctly . (I do some .net progamming from time to time). I'll attach more questions when I remember all the questions I originally intended to ask. Thanks
Bootcamp Assistant is just a program that will assist you with installing Windows in a dual-boot configuration. So, yes, it is a native installation and not a VM.
Thankyou very much I have another quick question.. If I was to buy the 2nd 15" MacBook pro model off there website it will cost £1600 (w/apple care). If I went in store would I get the same spec model at the same price ? or does the store and webstore differ ? Thanks again
Yes, it is natively running windows in Boot Camp. Price is same online as it is at the Apple store. If you went to a non-Apple store, sometimes they have stuff on sale
Just for the record, while bootcamp is free(outside of a Windows license) I am pretty sure a program like VMware Fusion would work fine for programing in .Net, but it does cost money for the connivence of having OS X and Windows right next to each other.
Thanks for the quick answers guys. Just another quick question.. I am planning to order my macbook this weekend. I read this.. Does this mean I get the three years apple care instore if I do not select the "EMEA CC-HE contract uplift MacBook Pro [+ £60.00]" as it suggests that the extra 2 years is for phone support. The image on the site shows that they offer 3 years hardware coverage. I haven't done research into applecare as of yet so sorry if i'm completely off. Also if I order on a Saturday would it get delivered on a Sunday or the Monday. Thanks again !
Cheers Could someone verify the warranty that you get with the laptop when brought with student financing ? Do you get 3 years hardware warranty or do I have to buy apple care in order to have 3 years hardware warranty.
I am not from the UK but remember someone saying in a thread on here that it only applies when you buy it through the online Educational store and didn't apply when purchased through an actual Brick and Mortar. Again, I am not from the UK so it is just what I read.
I ordered MBP last week and I am really looking forward to using OSX. I have a few questions that need to be answered so rather than making a new thread I'll just bump this one; I am buying my macbook from the uk. I am going on vacation to the Philippines in a few weeks and would like to know what gear I will need in order to charge my macbook abroad. What cases are good for the macbook pro, I have been looking at the incase branded cases at the moment and they seem high standard. Cheers
