![]() It allows you to remap a whole bunch of keys, including the clusters on both the right and left of the spacebar. Easily undone, but still, pretty annoying.įor the other two problems - search these forums for Input Remapper. but every now and again, a random movement past the spacebar puts the cursor in the wrong position and makes a mess. I'm a good typist, and have always been good about keeping my hands in the proper position. The one and only issue I have is that the "Palm Rejection" option is flat out MISSING. I used to run Mac almost exclusively, but whatever - no disrespect intended, and that's not my point. I too run Windows 7 almost exclusively on lovely 13 and 15 inch unibody MBPs. Refreshing to be on a Boot Camp thread that's not dominated by people saying how stupid it is to run Boot Camp! I adjusted to it pretty quickly though.Īh sweet relief - except for missing Palm Rejection option Key buttons are all mixed around (Fn, Ctrl, Alt, Windows/Command button. No delete button (Fn+Backspace works, but you have to reach from one corner of the keyboard to the other) ![]() ![]() Keyboard backlight can't be turned off. Great keyboard, smooth touchpad, 2 finger scrolling, and the drivers are simple and work great. In fact, it seems to run better than all my friend's PC laptops. I disabled tap to click which is the #1 problem, and I've also reverted to Boot Camp 2.1 touchpad drivers which I personally feel is much better than BC 3.0 touchpad drivers. People say that the touchpad is glitchy, but it runs like a dream for me. Pretty much all this accounts for only about 1% of the total time I've used on my laptop.Įverything runs great. Mac-only software required for school (Apple Shake) Transmission (torrents work better in OS X for some reason) Repartitioning Boot Camp (I reformat Windows every 6 months) Administrative stuff (like getting my serial number) The only time where I bother booting into OS X is for the following reasons: I'm running Windows XP 99% of the time on my MBP. Stability: Awesome, no BSOD, no errors no nothningĬONCLUSION: At the end of the day, it's a regular computer fully capable of running Win7 in a pleasant way. Heat: Fan is slightly louder, yet temperatures are between 120-170 with heavy use ( very similar to my os X readings) Trackpad: The only thing missing are vertical gestures and 4 finger sweeps, other than that it's the best touchpad I've seen in a PC Averages vary as it depends on usage, yet I'm easily able to get 3 hours+ on full brightness etc In general I noticed a loss of 10-15% of battery power. Battery Life: Here's when it was slightly hit. My Win7 is sharp and snappy ( will see in three months) After few months in OS X I started to notice a lag in switching between windows/fullscreen etc. Performance: No significant decreases in performance. The system is running lovely on Windows7 No extra changes, additional softs or tweaks, just regular system/apple updates.Here's my experience: Drivers I installed came from the Snow Leopard CD, with update to 3.1 thru autoupdate. I've installed a new hard drive, and installed Win7 without bootcamp. After 3 months I decided to go back to Win7, as Mac OS X didn't cut it for me. I've purchased my MBP 13 in September with the goal of switching from a PC. However, if you want to play games or run Autocad then Boot Camp is the way to go. You need to boot into OSX every now and then to get firmware updates and stuff.Īlso, I personally use Parallels with both 7 and XP and I find it works great. However, the latest version of Boot Camp may fix that and I have not actually used 7 on it which may fix it.Īlso, make sure you give yourself enough space on your Windows partition. Power handling is a little weird on both of them - Doesn't always sleep correctly and hibernate does not work well. There is NO right mouse button so you must make sure to install the boot camp drivers to get the two-finger tap right click to work. You must use the fn+delete to actually get delete. There is no windows key - it is the command key. Both have Macbook Pro 13's and one runs Windows XP and the other runs Vista. I'm a computer guy and I have setup two (actually three since one has an iMac) and the only thing they run is Windows.
