Although at first i thought that it was possible but as i digged into this , came to know it MIGHT just proved to be problematic..
Just after reading some sites on net came up with this link

http://blogs.msdn.com/volkerw/archive/2009/01/19/installing-windows-7-on-a-macbook-air.aspx

http://www.betanews.com/article/XP-Wont-Run-on-Intel-MacBook-iMac/1137003330

And some people here are showing off their win7 on macbooks


So in short what i suggest is that if you buy it then you have to go with MACOS which is not that bad as what you think.Secondly if you are buying just for show off (as what most mac users do ) then go on with it :)
Else i would still say if you want to stick to Win OS then look no where then the current available lappies in the marker from Dell,HP,Sony,Acer,Asus,Toshiba etc..
Hope you got my point

yaara it's simple. apple have their own monoply against microsoft and they won't just give away their stuff so people can use microsoft product on them lolz! btw when you are paying a considerable amount for mac osx then y do you need to change it? y not go for sony vaio if 'shashka' is what you desire :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.
