Thoughts on purchase please!

My daughter is off to university in the fall, and will require a new laptop to replace a desktop PC. We have been considering a MacBook Pro - but it seems that all the on-campus support is for PCs only. I have years of experience with my Macbook, but none with running PC software on it. How difficult is it for a non-technical person to make a Mac run in a PC world? Any suggestions?

Welcome!
It could be helpful to visit the Boot Camp forum area that deals with the underlying software that makes Windows use on Macs possible. That could get you a better concentration of people using Windows on an Mac. It's here:

If you are thinking about buying the latest model, check out this forum area for user comments about the current generation MBP:

This forum you are in now is for the original MBP; there are some nice evolutionary change the newer one have over the old ones.
