There are two systems that allow you to run all the windows software you want on apples. VMware and Parallels are the ones I have used in depth. Lets you run windows as virtual machines. Both gave me some of the most stable windows machines I have ever used. Mind you I also built them up using clean copies of windows from MS sans all the garbage the makers like HP load on their machines. Really good rigs and very cool to have windows running in a window on a mac. In fact on one mac I had both windows and linux running in separate windows at the same time. The stable unix core underlying OSX allows a lot of neat things to be possible.

Every shitbird in the world takes stuff back all the time.
I’d think a regular honest working man could do the same.

There was a slight learning curve but there are programs that allow you to use MS products on the Appel system without any problem. I would never go back to MS. Harry

(read that as beat up). All periferals attach to them.

Pay the extra for the applecare if you go down the Mac path. It more than pays for itself.

BTW, I am writing this on a 4 year old Macbook. Never had a HP laptop last that long.

HP had some of the worst support, too, iirc. :/ We had good luck with lenovos when I was doing IT in college, that was a pretty long while back in computer years, though. Good luck on the hunt!
