I was at a apple store, and one of the machines was running windows. It was amazingly fast. Better then you would expect on a normal windows. Now you can have windows and mac in the same screen. I don't think there are any cons. I bought a 15 inch powerbook, just before the new intel macbooks came out. I was a little dissapointed, but i still love my powerbook.
And by the way the person the posted before me. You are right, but now they have it where you can have windows and your dock so it can be either or without booting machine up and changing.

Well, yes you can spend more to buy a MAC and then spend even more to buy a copy of Windows for it, then spend the time to install Windows, or you could just buy a PC.
Okay let me be serious now, if you are just using it to surf and do email, MACs will be fine for you. If you are a gamer, I still see a problem because if you try to buy a gaming MAC, you are left with the underperforming (game wise) iMac, or the overpriced G5.

No still the same Mac. Actually you might want to wait a little bit, most applications arent working that great with the new Intel Macs. You have to force apps to use Rosetta. Lots a kinks still to work out. I have had lots of user issues since we bought some MacBooks.

Although they have intel chips, they still do not run the windows operating system and so will not run windows software.
You can however purchase a copy of windows, and arrange for the system to dual boot (choose at startup) between Mac and Windows operating system.

macOS wont recognize the .executable file, so Technically speaking not really, but u can install XP on them to play games. and the new CON is that not all mac software works on the new iMac, Mac Pro, Mac Mini, Powerbook. on top of the fact any thing before MacOS 10.2 wont run properly. hope that helps.

you spot extra previous MACs than desktops because of the fact they are extra high priced and their clientele think of two times in the previous ditch them for clean ones. additionally purposes that artwork on some older variations of OS X (PowerPC based) won't artwork in a clean MAC OS (Intel based), MAC purposes fee money too.
