    am about to ditch the desktop, and get a laptop, and am wondering what people's thoughts are on a PC v Mac, and why?

    FYI - I play only on stars & FT

    Thx

    I use a macbook pro for FTP and stars and it works great. I also use VMware on the macbook to run WinXP and the party poker client, which works fine.

    About the only thing you can't run with a macbook and VMware is the pkr client, though you could if you used Bootcamp to boot into WinXP.

    Ditto on the outages.

    If you're getting the 17" macbook pro, don't forget to upgrade the screen to the high res model so you can fit on more tables.

    Mac def ftw. got a mac mini a few months ago to go with my new hdtv and lucked out when PS came out for the mac. Vista is unbelievably gay and XP still doesnt compare to the ease of the mac. I still kept my PC laptop though for pokertracker and use an external hd to save hands to when im playing on the mac.
