Can anyone give me some advice? As the new generation macs don't come with a dvd drive, anyone knows how to install windows on it?
I would definitely get a Macbook pro over an iMac. I would just say build a desktop if you were going for an iMac... you can get something much cheaper with way better specs since I'm assuming you keep your iMac in one place.

As for laptops, I think Mac is a decent. I have had both non-Mac and a Macbook pro. I have to say, the Macbook pro is way overpriced, but it is great for a traveling around with, and has been very reliable hardware wise. The other laptops I have had (both Asus) were good, but at some point have had hardware issues within two years, and is not nearly as convenient design wise as the Macbook for carrying around and traveling.

Also just get an external disk-drive to install windows.
