MapleStory on Macbook Air
Hi guys,
was wondering if anybody has bought the 2011 model (with the i5 Sandy Bridge cores) of the Macbook Air (specifically the Air) and if MapleStory actually works on it?
If so are you guys running it on the Lion OS or on Boot Camp Windows - and if Boot Camp does it actually come with it or did you have to install it yourself?
Thanks (:

It should be free man, I've been looking up all this stuff for the past few hours now and I'm learning a lot. I just want to know if you can download Windows onto a removable disk drive instead of wasting a dvd that I'd have to go out and buy right now... >.> I tried VMWare but at the last stage I find out that it can't run on a macbook pro... T.T
@ashje I bet you a million bucks that what they're running on those "PCs" in that control room looks and acts much more like Mac OS X than Windows.
@Bowain: You'll notice I actually said most, not all, and if you'd be willing to walk into a shop like Starbucks and look around, I'm willing to bet you'll see quite a few of those people I described using Macs. In terms of casual use, I do believe PCs also trump Macs due to the freedom they exhibit. As much as that poster believed his statement to be true, you and I both know Macs are computers, not iPods so my point still stands. And I'm sure you can forgive me for making a slight error in word order on the internet, it's not that great of a deal.
Dang, I just wanted to know if anyone could help me out getting ms on my macbook pro lmao.. I got Mine for university and so it would never need to be replaced, I could use this for the next 10 years if I wanted to. Should I just check youtube on how to get ms to work with bootcamp? >.> I don't entirely understand on how to install bootcamp or windows w/e,
@Bowain: Now look at the Large Hadron Collider control room. Are they using Macs or PCs? That's right. Most of the people who use Macs are those self-absorbed kids you see in coffee shops or just people following the trend because they look nice. You can get better looking PCs with better specs for a fraction of the price of a Mac. Not to mention you have to go to the trouble of VMs or Bootcamp to get it to run an executable file and most software out there is .exe not .dmg. Macs are overpriced and overrated, but each to his own, I guess. And to your point on the shares, most of that probably comes from iPods and such, it doesn't necessarily mean it's so high because of their crappy computers.

My iMac runs at 71C if I don't use custom fan controls.
And why would you waste 1000+ on a mediocre laptop.
I use a 2010 15" macbook pro 2.66ghz i7 8GB RAM 330m nVidia, i use Windows 7 on bootcamp and LubbosFancontrol/Coretemp so everything stays cool and controlled.
I really don't understand putting windows onto OS X. Did you spend that $1000+ on the design. Even though, everyone is entitled to whatever they may with their product. I believe boot camp is pre installed.
@Puriie It DOES NOT come with bootcamp. But yeah, it'll run Maple fine. Almost every new computer now can run Maple so I don't know why people worry about that.
My friend plays on VMWareFusion3. If you want, I can PM you and tell you how to get it for free.
Does anyone know how to set it up on a macbook? I just got my macbook air and I don't know how to install it, when i do it says I can't have it while it's in DOS mode; I'm not as fluent with MAC's as I am with Windows...
Hrmmm ok, but the thing is I don't know if the Macbook Air (2011 model) even comes with Boot Camp? Google is telling me different things so idk!
