Trade with an Apple?

[404]

I dont know if this is the proper place for this thread, but is anyone using an apple computer to trade?

I havent done much research yet, so I dont know if the different trading platforms will even operate through an apple setup...

?

I think our moderator TinGull uses an Apple for trading. Might want to contact him for info.

I use an apple laptop when i am on the road. Thing is that none of my trusted aps for trading work on the mac side. So what I did is install parallels. This way you can run windows and mac os at the same time. When I am trading I just flip over to the windows side and it runs everything great. Just need to make sure you have intel proc, and ma out as much ram as you can.

Ditto. Run my mac book pro with parallels. Not a multi screen workstation, but in an airport or hotel it runs everything I need to get by.

I am not a computer guru, but I do have a mac notebook.
Would "trading" through an apple setup be slower, or worse in any way? (when running the parallel setup)

I am looking to buy a desktop setup, and I would love to go with a apple setup if it is on equal footing with a pc setup.

If you are using on of the new mac's you will have more then enough juice to run parallels(just make sure you get enough ram in it). My macbook pro with windows on it runs equal if not better then my pc.

MacBook Pro laptop running Windows XP using bootcamp. Hardly ever boot MacOS. It is a windows "PC" so everything that runs on windows runs.

Cheers.

The fastest machine to run MS Vista is a Mac......just something to think about.

I use a MacBook Pro 17" with XP rolled on Parallels, this is my main machine since I do move around a lot, and it works just fine.
