Are you happy with the whole MacBook/Parallels combo, both for poker, and for general use? Thanks...

For poker I am finding it just fine so far. Party and Stars + tracker + PAHUD run no problem. Caveat: I always have sound switched off when playing poker, don't play music at the same time, and am not a massive multitabler. Four max.

I am not sure what other uses there are for windows machines so I will not respond to the "general use" part of your question [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] But my experience of Parallels is that it is pretty darn zippy. Most impressively, XP boots up in under 15 seconds, which I've never seen on a real PC... (To forestall the windows zealots: I am sure it's possible on high spec lean configurations, but I've never seen one.)
