Win 7 equivalent of MacBook Air?

[rojash]

Just had a client on. His wife's just got a 13" MacBook Air, and he wants one. This is a definite no-no in their corporate environment.

Anyone recommend a similar Windows machine. Most particularly, it must have 256 GB (or thereabouts) SSD, be teeny, slim, and pretty!

A macbook air with windows installed on it?

Either that or an ultrabook, although it's very early days for them so you'd be limited to the first couple out on the market at the moment.

Is it really that easy Chuck?

I spent half a day jail breaking an iphone last week, only to find that it still can't be unlocked.

It even kinda half supported by apple!

Hi, I have had several thin laptops to test at work

Have a look at. Samsung ultra 9 series
And dells Xps 15z
Dell is handsome. Samsung is pretty

Genius at might even install win7 for you, very helpful
But one word of warning, nice and light but they are a pain to work on as your main pc.

"corporate environment" where a user can choose his own laptop...? Would check get him to check he can choose his owner connect his own to the

Yes you can install windows on mac, I did it on a macbook pro. Sure it will be same on air.
The only issue is there are some bits of hardware tha are not I the windows 7 driver list nor windows update. So you need all the apple/windows drivers first

It was a while ago but I pretty sure it was a wizard that let me install windows 7. Apple do something called boot camp. It's downloadable and has all the drivers you need for windows. Eg I use an apple keyboard onmy windows 7 machine I needed apple drivers that work with windows hence use boot camp

Too much waffle I know. Google boot camp windows 7 on mac, or do just go to an apple store genius bar
