(That’s actually my laptop in the picture!) It’s the best Windows laptop I have ever used, and I have lost count of how many I have used. You have no more vulnerability of getting a virus on Windows as you do on any other Windows laptop, and installing Windows on Bootcamp does NOT create a virus vulnerability for your Mac OS partition. A KVM switch will not change the fact that you would have to buy two separate computers.

Try a KVM switch, that means a hardware device that allows you to control multiple computers from one keyboard, video monitor and mouse. It is possible to control a Mac and a PC together and you can get it for $30 up.
Note: to connect the Mac to de KVM you will need a Mac or Mac compatible connector.
