Macbook for a AutoCAD, Civil 3d using student?
I've no experience of macs but am seriously thinking of buying one soon.
However I need to be able to use AutoCAD and Civil 3d, can these be run under bootcamp on a Macbook?
How difficult is it to get used to using a mac having never used one?
How difficult is it to install bootcamp/parallels and install windows in conjunction with mac's os?
Is there anything else I should be aware of before purchasing one?
I was planning on buying a dual core, 2gb ram, 120gb hard drive macbook, would that be sufficient?

Yes, AutoCAD can be used with Parallels, infact one of the better known Autodesk trainers (Phil Read) runs both AutoCAD and Revit under Parallels as his main computer.
A Mac takes some time to get used to, but its like any computer, with a little time you'll get used to it.
Installing Parallels isn't difficult if you understand how to install/use software.
The RAM you mention to run these programs is rather minimal, try to up the RAM if you plan to do serious Civil 3D work.
