raptor517 · #1 10-06-2007, 02:57 AM

ok so i have a gigantic 4k alienware that is like a mobile desktop, but i cant really stick it in my backpack and pull it out whenever on the airplane or whatever cuz its too gigantic, so i end up sticking it in the suitcase so im bored when im travelling.

anyways, ive looked at the 13" macbooks, some of the sony stuff, etc, and i dont know what to get. what is the best overall on battery life, resolution, speed, etc etc. price is not an option. as of right now im thinking of just going with whichever macbook costs the most. also, do the macbooks operate on windows? cool, help me out BBV4L i need you.

get a macbook. You can get Parallels to run windows or use boot camp. I'd recommend Paralles though, this way you can operate windows while in Mac OS.

As far as portability goes nothing beats the mac.

so when you run Windows on Mac,
can you run all the poker software that won't run on Mac interface?

I would just get a 15 inch macbook pro, it should fit easily i any backpack.

Logitech vx revolution laptop mouse is also crucial.

And as per the running windows question. You need to buy a copy of windows xp/vista, along with parallels/vmware which are both 80 dollars. You can then either run windows in a separate popup window that you can minimize/maximize or run it along with your mac OS, so that the start menu appears right above the mac toolbar.
