I'll be receiving my MacBook Pro on Saturday, I have to say I'm quite excited!
I'm getting the following 2.4GHz 15.4" MacBook Pro:
http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook_pro?mco=MTM3NjU5MzU
Halfway down the page on the left, price is listed as £1499.
Now I'm just wondering, if I was to install Windows 7, how badly is performance affected? Does it make the laptop much slower? How much of my hard drive can I expect to lose?
Also, game wise, I don't want to play any high-end games, just some games like CoD 4 or SC2. How well will these run on the laptop with and without boot camp? Will they run fairly smooth?
Also, can I boot up games from an external hard drive? I know I can't boot up Windows from an external hdd but can I with games?
Thank you.
