Re: Buy a Macbook?
[ QUOTE ]
I just ordered a macbook - need it now so cant wait for updates (and its rumoured that the upgrade will just be a processor bump - though that is not at all conformed - it may be something more substantial). Definitely get 2GB of RAM - will make things much more smooth, especially the great features of leopard. As for finding out how do do things on a mac, mainly I have found (from friends who switched) that it was actually very intuitive and even fun to find some of the cool things OSX includes. I would suggest waiting for the middle of next week as the update should be out then. Edit: i believe that if you buy one and the upgrade happens in a certain period of time, you can replace the one you bought for the new one for a restocking fee - check this out though if you want to buy now as im not sure re the time scale. [/ QUOTE ] I'm going to hold off for a week or so. I'm still not convinced I can justify to myself buying it, so an extra week won't hurt.

Re: Buy a Macbook?
How easy is it to set up Macs to run programs like pokertracker/pokerace and so forth? That is kind of what I am tentative about with an apple.
I am by no means apple literate and I worry that if I got one I would not be able to set it up properly to run all the poker applications. Anybody able to quell that fear?

The macbook updates are now out. Small processor bump, updated santa rosa chipsets and a new GMA X3100 video card - apparently a good improvement over the old one. More details here. [/ QUOTE ] Still not dedicated, and still not a good enough chipset to put more than 2 GB of ram into them. I'm very let down by this upgrade.

[/ QUOTE ] No, the chipset has been upgraded and can handle up to 4 GB of ram. Realistically it had to be a tiny upgrade so that the macbook isn't too close to the macbook pro.

[/ QUOTE ] I havnt yet used these programs with a mac, but will be doing so soon. Using bootcamp (booting up into windows) it should be exactly the same as doing it on a windows machine. I wouldnt have thought it would be any more difficult using parallels/vmware. Anyone have direct experience of using poker software on a mac through bootcamp/parallels/vmware?
