[Equest-users] New computer?

[STEVE SAMENSKI]

Pasha --

I'm a complete Apple fanboy so consider my advice with that in mind. I run a
MacBook Pro, VM Ware Fusion as a virtual machine and Windows XP underneath
that. On the Windows virtual PC I run eQuest, AutoCad Light, Window6 and ‹
now that LEED Online Version 3 won't work with Safari or Firefox ‹ Internet
Explorer to fill out my templates. It works mostly like a charm. I've
actually done speed tests against cheaper PC laptops running the same model
and my virtual PC smokes them.

Your milage may vary. Feel free to contact me off-forum if you have any more
specific questions.

Subject:  [Equest-users] New computer?

Hi --I want to ask if any of you have been running eQuest on a MacBook?
My back-up laptop, Dell Vostro, lost its motherboard 2 nights ago right in
the middle of a Baseline model....Ugh.   It was only 2.5 yrs old.

With that crash---I'm fed up with Dells and am looking for a better laptop
with enough reliability to handle eQuest.

Are there any drawbacks or advantages that I should be aware of before
purchasing a MacBook?     It's nervy to switch to a Mac, being a PC so long,
but after 5 Dell computers---and poor computer quality, I'm wavering from
the whole PC thing anyway....

Would appreciate advice, notes or recommendations on a new, good laptop that
will run eQuest with little issues...

Thanks,
Pasha
