Running a Windows OS on a Mac? 01-13-2014, 07:05 AM
#1
My friend has installed the Windows 7 on my Macbook laptop, which I can use either the Windows 7 or Mac OS depending what do I need to do when I turn on the computer. There are some softwares aren't supported by the Mac OS, which I have to switch to Windows 7 when I need to use the softwares. I have found that running the Windows OS on my Macbook laptop isn't quite as fast as if I have a Windows computer. Does your Mac run a Windows OS? Do you experience the problem too?

The problem you are having is the fact that Mac laptops aren't meant for that kind of load. When you have 2 OS's running at the same time it takes a toll on the CPU, and even computers with a solid i7 would waver when it came to that running load. The fact is, if you want good quality Windows, buy a PC.

I aagre. Buying a Windows laptop that runs Windows OS 7 or 8 is less expensive than buying a Macbook and runs Windows OS on it.
