Can a Mac run windows programs in any way? Is there an emulator or something that can let me do so? If so, then I just might get a MacBook Pro.

Off-topic, but i dun care.

If you're interested in Wine Is Not An Emulator, you could try out Winebottler or Wineskin Winery. (both free)
Or if you think you are really good in open source stuff then try compiling WINE from source, or installing macports/homebrew and compiling. (but honestly don't try this unless you know what you are doing).

Alternatively, if you don't like the idea of the buggy options above, you could check out Crossover at codeweavers.com . You'll have to pay for it though, although it is superior in running Windows programs, and there's a trial version if you want.

From what I tried though, MOFI and POTZ don't run well in WINE, so unless you're okay with only playing WA1 on your MacBook it'd be better to use Bootcamp (unless you're interested in two OSes running at the same time).
Also, MOFI and POTZ are reaaalllyy slow in VirtualBox, so don't.

Is Lenovo's build quality "questionable"?

What Tyteen said about Dell computers being "questionable" is only because of thoses legends that Dell computers catch on fire. It's just that some models (very old) caught on fire and that is why Dell's reputation got ruined. Nowadays, Dell notebooks are decent, both my dad and sister have one, and they work perfectly. As for Lenovo, I haven't heard anything about it.

Again, I'm a Mac user so Apple computers are best in my opinion.

No; that's not legend. I've heard enough tales from the people from #minecrafthelp, and from a friend whose its laptop burnt itself (and the subsequent replacement all burning itself). I heard they've improved but it's still a mixed bag. HP is definitely worse though. (Dell also ruined the Alienware brand)

Lenovo's build quality is very, very good, just slightly behind Apple. Get Lenovo. You'll like it.

I think I am going to either get a Lenovo y50 or a MacBook Pro retina 15 inch (yes, that is a lot more than my 700$ starting point, but my parents decided I could get a higher priced laptop after all )

So, which one of these is better? I can't decide.

If you want an honest answer, you can't compare those together, unless you compare Windows to Mac, which is what I'm gonna do.
In my opinion, Mac system is more stable, less laggy, and overall better than Windows. If there is one reason not to get a Mac, it is the software compatibility. If you are planning to use it only for gaming, then you should get a Windows computer simply because it's going to be much cheaper and with higher specs. The only reason to buy a Mac is either because of its OS or its design.

So, if you want a stable OS with a great computer design with a great battery, while playing only a few PC games like TF2 (every Valve game works with Mac, as well as obviously all online games), get a Mac. If you want to only play heavy games at maximum settings at a cheap price, get the Lenovo. However, I still got to check the specs before confirming that it is a good computer.

Mac it is, then!

Congratulate me, everyone!
I am addicted to PcPuzzle!

No, no, I mean,
I have over 2000 posts now.
I have to thank Oondi for pointing that out.

Still, though, over 2000 posts within a year...

I knew I'd be ecstatic at first, but I didn't expect to be this ecstatic.

I hope to stay around for the 20000th post in nine years.

Congratulations to you and your post count! Are you able to beat MNIK by getting 10000 posts?

Coincidentally, I've also reached 2000 views on my channel.

Albeit, a fair few of them are mine.

Still, apparently the majority of the views are from males,
and I'm undecided, last I recall,
so there's something to look forward to.

You need only one more post to make your post count be equal to this year! (2014 posts)

Too late, I already made that on Mark's thread.

Happy 2015?

Double celebration!
I just reached my 600th post count. I didn't change ranks yet, but I think it will happen when I get 1000 posts.

Also, Qloof just reached 4000 posts.

Well, three days late isn't too bad.

One year and three days ago was the day I joined the forum!
I've been here for over a year, already!

...

it sure doesn't feel that long.

Happy 12th birthday to Wonderland!

I couldn't find any epic applause .gifs with ease,
but I hope this is enough to skim the bottom of celebration.

Happy birthday,Wonderland!

Congrats to me, I just reached 700 posts! I got over 100 posts in less than a month, which is an achievement!

My goal is to get to 1000 posts ASAP, although I'm not sure if I'll be getting it this year, as I may return to Skype/Epigam, which would reduce my activity on PCPuzzle. And of course, I don't feel good doing actual spam.

Congrats garriry!
