Last but not least, the intuitive operating system we mentioned. Well, it’s got a feature called boot camp, that lets you run Windows applications at their normal speed. Hmm... all the features of a Mac, with all the applications made for the PC. It seems like those concerns about compatibility are finally being put to rest.
