Is buying a MacBook and putting Windows 7 on it Worth It?

Question

I want a nice computer such as a MacBook Pro with Retina but I hate OSX so is it worth buying a Mac and putting Windows on it or is it better to just buy a PC.

Answer 1

basically what macbooks are are computers block other computers from using their OS so people have to buy them to use OS X so they take advantage and jack the prices up so they end up being 50-80%

more expensive, im sure you can find another laptop that has identical hardware w/ windows 7 and a screen with the same pixel density as macbook pro ("retina") for a quarter of the price

Answer 2

Not worth it to run a operating system (Windows 7) that was not designed for the Mac.

If you want to run Windows 7 or eight buy a PC laptop. Look here http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/home.to?utm_expid=1188295-3

If you buy it with Windows 8 get one with a touch screen. Very few laptops available with W7 factory installed now that W8 is out so you would need to also purchase a new boxed W7 install to put onto the new laptop.

Answer 3

Yeah you basically placed living house windows 7 on the macbook the way you place vista or xp on it, yet its quite pointless getting a mac just to place living house windows on it, i could basically get a typical computing device then do this.

Answer 4

Just buy a pc. Save about $2000

Answer 5

its not worth you could get a nice windows pc for around the same price and save you the hasssle of installing windows

but if u want it go for it

Answer 6

It will cost way more than a Windows laptop.
