I'll say something that I probably have said before, but whatever. Apple products do just feel better. The design team at apple is amazing, and they've hit the jackpot with the all-aluminum unibody design with the black bezel (one of the things I hate about the Air and Anti-Glare Pros is their silver bezel, and the white iPhone/iPads are just ugly IMO), making some of the most iconic computers today. I would say that a dream computer would be a MBP Retina running Windows and a custom interface using Rainmeter. That would just be amazing.

On another random note, is there a way to hack the 15 inch MBP BIOS so that you can use the Intel GPU in Windows? Apple currently has it set up so that other OSes in BootCamp are forced to use the dedicated graphics, using up battery.

Considering that Macs don't actually have a BIOS (they use EFI), I don't think it would be possible using BIOS, although since Bootcamp would have to emulate a BIOS, you could try hacking the emulated BIOS or something  hmm

Read up on the topic a bit, and you're right. They use SMC to restrict the usage of the integrated GPU, and there are hacks both to make it use the intel chip (but it must be redone every boot) and to have it detect on startup (but not work).Clearly Apple wants you to use OSX for better battery life.

Re: Mac Vs PC

Pretty much.

Same reason why the fans always run on the lowest setting when on Windows. (on my iMac anyway). This means everything runs very hot, especially for gaming.

Re: Mac Vs PC

I use Windows, but I think Mac's are pretty cool too. Mac's are better for certain thing, and so is Windows. I would have to say Windows.

Re: Mac Vs PC

I like Windows because there is a lot more hardware options becuase Microsoft isn't too snobby about who gets to use their software.
Becuase Microsoft gives out free tools to make software, there's a vast range of applications for the OS, a lot of which, are available for no charge.
