Hi.
Im just about to take the plunge and get a 2.4ghz macbook after the recent upgrades. Some minor questions remain, though.
1) Can you set the laptop so that when you close the lid, it remains on? (i.e. not go to sleep - i usually leave the laptop overnight downloading updates and running scans so it would be helpful)
2) Are there any vents at the bottom of the macbook? Been searching forever for a pic of the underneath, but none so far. I ask since i tend to use it a lot on the bed and on the lap, so vents at the bottom would be bad.
3) Do they get hot? And what about the fan noise? I remember the early revisions had issues, but have they been fixed?
4) When you setup two OS's using bootcamp, would the data on the windows partition be available for OSx, and vice versa? (i.e. if i wanted to play a song in both vista and OSX, will i need two copies of the same song on each partition?)
5) MSN messenger - I use it a lot (understatement). Is the mac version comparable to windows live?
More questions may follow, since im taking this slowly.
Since the macbooks are so reasonably priced i can always just install vista on it. I mean, the 2.4ghz is just 1200 euros over here (yeah, i know us europeans have it harder then you americans ), and for that price all you get is a 1.8ghz dell M1330 with similar ram/hd - and the hardware doesn't look half as cool.
Thanks a lot
