use a virtual pc

If you're running a Mac which is powered by an Intel Processor and has "Bootcamp" then yes, it is possible.
3 :
No,but you can download a windows vista mask and it looks like vista!Trust me!!!
4 :
Yes you can run it natively using Apple Bootcamp or via virtualization using VMWare Fusion or Parallel.
5 :
You can run vista on the laptop by using boot camp. That will create seperate partitions that will allow vista to be on one and mac on the other. If you use a parallel program to run windows through mac then it cuts your resources in half and it will be tough for vista.

If it's an Intel based Apple laptop (MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air) then absolutely. You can install Bootcamp (which comes free with the apple laptop) which sets up a second partition for your Windows OS, so you can choose on startup whether to boot in Windows or Mac OS. Or you can buy a third party program like Parallels or VM ware's Fusion which will allow you to run Windows as a virtual machine over top of Mac OS (both programs are great so it's down to personal preference) The only downside with the virtual machine option is that you are running two Operating Systems simultaneously, which means that the processor and ram is shared between the two (not a big deal unless you're doing high end gaming, if you are then bootcamp is better) As for HDMI there's no apple laptop that has an HDMI port but all apple laptops (except the air) have either a full size DVI port (pro's) or a mini-DVI which you can get a $20.00 adapter to convert to full size DVI. Most of todays TV's have DVI ports as well (because it's better shielded than HDMI you'll run less risk of interference)

Do you have to have a router when you use an apple laptop?
Do you have to have a router when you use an apple laptop?
I want to buy my first laptop and I don't really know that much about it. I wanted to buy a Apple MacBook. Do you have to have a router in order to use your laptop? And does it make a difference if you use an Apple router?

HI, No you don't need a router to use a laptop or PC. A router is a network device which will allow the laptop/PC to communicate either with other networked devices (PCs, Printers etc.) or with the internet.
2 :
don't need one
3 :
No, you don't HAVE to have a router. You can connect to the internet with an ethernet cord. If you want to go online wirelessly and without a cord then yes, you'll need a router. And no, it doesn't make a difference if you have an apple router or not. Really, it's not worth it to buy one, they do the same thing as any other router except they have an apple logo on them and cost twice as much.

um try e-bay that all can think off, sorry dude
3 :
You can try many places!!! Ebay is recommended, best-buy, circuit city, and even Amazon!!! I hope this helps you and helps me......10!
4 :
Just make sure they have a good return policy. e.g., Amazon, eBay
5 :
Apple is pretty good at keeping its prices consistent at other companies, so I don't believe there is anywhere you can get one for a cheaper price. However, Apple itself does offer a discount for college students and teachers (about $100 off). I ordered my MacBook online and they just asked which college I went to--I didn't need to prove anything. It's only $100, which is a small fraction of the cost, but every bit helps!
