YES.KIND OF Only on the MacBooks. THey have Intel Processors, so they can run windows.

There are two different ways to do this. One is an emulator. The other is just running it. An emulator, like Paralells Desktop would just pop windows up in another window. Installing it on a separate partition and usinf Apple's boot camp would boot it up and use it as the operating system until you shut it down and booted back up into OSX. I have no experience with either, so I cannot recommend.

If the Mac has an Intel processor (which is all of the recent ones) then Windows can be run alongside the Mac OS. Using software such as Parallels or Fusion Windows can be run in a Window within the Mac OS.

(See links below). There are a couple ways in which you can run Apple's operating system on top of Linux. If you wish to run an older version of the Mac operating system, such as OS 9 or lower, this is your only option. There are several emulators for Linux that will emulate the necessary hardware. Far cry 4 prologue savegame. Mini vMac This is useful for 68k (Motorola 6800- 68040) Mac emulation. You can run up to System 7.5.5 on this.

Aspen Engineering Suite. When you contact our Support Centers, our automated attendant will guide you through the available options. Staggered Analysis with BLOWDOWN Technology in Aspen HYSYS Building on the BLOWDOWN technology in Aspen HYSYS, Staggered Analysis is used to complete the design or validation of disposal systems that sequence the discharge of multiple blowdown valves.

Unfortunately, the sound does not work in the Linux port. Basilisk II This will run 68k systems up to Mac OS 8.1. This will run PowerPC systems up to Mac OS 9.0.4 D. PearPC This will run PowerPC versions of OS X.

I've had an extremely difficult time getting this one to work properly. Performance is also generally pretty bad, so I wouldn't use it for anything important. Virtualization Virtualization is the process of running code directly, instead of having to emulate it. Mac-on-Linux This is useful if you have a computer with a PowerPC processor (such as an older Mac, or a PlayStation 3). I have not personally tried this, since I do not have a PowerPC computer. I believe it will require you to know how to compile your own kernel modules.

VMWare / VirtualBox These are x86 virtualization suites. VirtualBox is available free of charge. VMWare is a commercial product; the 'workstation' is a paid product, while the 'Player' is available for free.

They only present generic hardware to the guest operating system, so an unmodified copy of OS X will not work. You will have to obtain (illegally) a modified copy of OS X that is patched to accept generic hardware.

I can't speak for the other programs, but Solidworks is single-threaded and heavily dependent on that. I will suggest the following depending on what you find important. -Mac, Solidworks, Fast, and least hassle, get a 15' Pro. -Some hassle, not as fast, get the 13' pro - try to get the 2.9 (single threaded app).

You will have to modify the windows registry to take full advantage. Pm me if you want more info.

-My suggestion: Use the school lab computers for SW and get yourself an air. Source: I used both a 2010 and 2011 13' MBP for my job (Solidworks design). I picked up a Sony Vaio S 15' fully spec'd out to run SW a couple months ago. Best decision ever. Edit: But to answer your question. If you are considering running Parallels/Win7 + SW, you will be thankful you spend that $90 (education discount ).
